installation confluence on server

Question

Hello,

I installed a trial version of Confluence on my PC, but my computer started working really slow. I want now a server version because then I can use more apps from marketplace. But I have no experience with installing on servers. So I'm from Belgium, can someone recommend a hosting-company where I can try or hire some space to put on confluence? What kind of server (Linux?)? Is it difficult if you have no experience with servers?

Second question: installed on server, does confluence work then also on every smartphone?

thank you!

Also , try using those free Linux servers that you get from AWS - not sure how much resources they could allocate under free category.

I run on 8GB - both JIRA and Confluence, well it's Windows 10 and for my personal use. But if it just for testing you can start from your machine.

For a fullfledged Production Env I am sure you will provision new servers.

Confluence and Syncrony processes consume different memory allocations so I'd suggest a minimum of 4GB.

For now, you can turn off Collaborative Editing ( Syncrony) in your current machine and see if it improves performance.

thank you for your answer. i have 4 GB ram on my pc, so probably not fast enough?? Can you advise somewhere a server where I pay little amount to try?
