We will choose New York #2 (your preferred location can be anything, but we avoid Singapore and Bangalore for possible latency issues). We will create a droplet via DigitalOcean interface, for the Linux distro we will use Ubuntu 16.04.2 圆4, $10 per month plan (1GB RAM/1CPU). Recommended VPS/Cloud providers: - DigitalOcean - Vultr - OVHįor this guide, we’ll use DigitalOcean, but note that other providers offer a better price and hardware (such as Vultr or OVH SSD). Minimum requirements for running ARK node (active nodes): - at least 1 DEDICATED CPU core (no shared ones), x86 or 圆4 architecture (the higher the CPU clock speed, the better, recommendation 2 CPUs+) - 4 GB RAM (the more the better, recommendation 8GB+), - Linux - Ubuntu 16.04 (this is optimal, and this guide is written for it) - 20GB free space (we recommend SSD/m.2, as opposed to traditional HDD drives, recommendation 40GB+)
