title: "Choosing a VPS"
|

description: "Compare hosting options and find the best VPS for your Pangolin deployment"

|
|
|
Pangolin generally requires minimal resources to run effectively. A basic VPS with **1 vCPU, 2GB RAM, and 8GB SSD** is sufficient for most deployments.
|
|
|
|
<Note>
|
|
If you choose a VPS with only 1GB RAM, you may need to create swap space to avoid memory pressure during installation, updates, or periods of higher traffic.

## Provider Options
|
|
|
|
Most general-purpose VPS providers will work well for Pangolin. Look for a provider with reliable uptime, a data center near your users, clear bandwidth limits, snapshots or backups, and the ability to open inbound TCP ports 80 and 443 plus the WireGuard UDP ports configured during installation.

If you prefer a guided deployment, Pangolin is also available on the <a href="https://marketplace.digitalocean.com/apps/pangolin-ce-1?refcode=edf0480eeb81">DigitalOcean Marketplace</a>. The marketplace image can create a droplet with Pangolin pre-installed and firewall rules configured.
