I just upgraded my shared hosting to a VPS (both on hostinger), the VPS has 2 vCPUs and 8GB Ram (Shared hosting had 2vCPUs and less Ram), always below 5% CPU usage & 25% Ram usage.
However, the VPS is much slower than the shared hosting. It takes at least 2 times longer on the VPS to resolve a single request.
Shared hosting: 
VPS: 
That is my current Nginx script - nginx.conf (exists in the laravel app docker image)
server { listen 80; server_name domain.com www.domain.com; # Redirect HTTP to HTTPS return 301 https://$server_name$request_uri; } server { listen 443 ssl; server_name domain.com www.domain.com; ssl_certificate /etc/ssl/certs/nginx-selfsigned.crt; ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/private/nginx-selfsigned.key; root /var/www/html/public; index index.php index.html index.htm; location / { try_files $uri $uri/ /index.php?$query_string; } location ~ \.php$ { # include snippets/fastcgi-php.conf; fastcgi_pass app:9000; fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name; include fastcgi_params; } } Also, when opening the app that talks to the server, it feels like it resolves one request at a time, a couple of requests (loading the home page), takes 20 seconds to finish, everytime. On the shared hosting it wasn't more than 2 seconds.
I am using cloudflare on both (VPS and Hostinger).
Also, my server got 4 docker images.
- nginx:latest
- Laravel app (the one that has the nginx.conf)
- SQL instance
- phpmyadmin
Any help would be so much appreciated, as I am in prod and it's a complete nightmare. Thanks!
