I said $20 total, Hetzner cloud 4GB is EUR 7.55 so yes fits, but I asked about OVHcloud because I already have account there with credit. Also Hetzner invoices in EUR with Polish VAT 23% added, OVHcloud too but at least I know their panel.
This thread is about OVHcloud specifically. Can we stay on topic.
The topic is one big vs four tiny, not OVHcloud exclusive. Hetzner comparison is valid for frame of reference.
I run 4x 1GB on Contabo. EUR 4.50 each so EUR 18 total, 6GB RAM because they overcommit differently. But CPU is shared heavily, WordPress admin panel loads in 4 seconds. You get what you pay for.
Contabo is not OVHcloud. Different thread.
I used them 2019-2021. Network issues every two months. Not relevant here but warning to anyone reading.

Back to the actual question: for WordPress + Discord bot, the bot needs persistent websocket. If you split four ways, which box runs the bot? Discord gateway doesn't load-balance across instances without shard manager complexity. One big box = one bot process, simple. Four tiny = you need to think about this.

This is the kind of detail I didn't think about. Bot is single process, yes. So maybe 3x 1GB for WordPress + 1x 1GB for bot? But then bot box is wasted most of time. Or run bot on all four with redis coord? Too complex for my skill XD
I run Minecraft server on $3 VPS. One process, one box. If it dies, server is down, players complain on Discord, I restart. For hobby project this is fine. Your Discord bot is same category. Don't overengineer.
Same here. One box, backups, done.
