How to Optimize Presearch Nodes for Better Rewards?

Hey

I have been running a Presearch node for a while but I want to maximize my rewards and ensure my node operates efficiently. I have a few questions :-

VPS vs. Home Server – Which one do you recommend for stability and performance: ??
Best Server Specs – What are the ideal system requirements for smooth operation: ??
Latency & Uptime – How do I ensure my node has minimal downtime and fast response times: ??
Multiple Nodes – Is it beneficial to run multiple nodes, and if so, what’s the best way to manage them: ??
Future Updates – Are there any upcoming changes that might impact node operators; ??

Would love to hear from experienced node runners!! Any tips, tools, or configurations you use: ?? Let’s discuss and help each other optimize our setups. I have searched on the forum for the solution related to my query and found this thread https://community.presearch.io/t/discussion-on-lowering-the-number-of-nodes-react-native-course but couldn’t get enough solution.

Looking forward to your insights !!

Hello :+1:, Well here you can see some recommendations, normally VPS servers tend to have a little more stability, especially in terms of the node score Compared to nodes run from your own PC, There are several options that work with Presearch for example Racknerd Where you can get servers for as little as $10 a year here you can take a look

Here you can also see other options to consider oracle, ethernetservers, hostvds, ionos, racknerd, cloudcone, etc.
The requirements are minimal For now the node does not need many resources, 512 ram and 1 GB hard disk is enough

And currently I would recommend running more Pre on fewer nodes as you could get more value out of it and save money on servers.

With fewer nodes it is more profitable because you save more on servers
The rewards for the nodes will be as follows:
Nodes
1000 = 30% APY
2000 = 20% APY
3000 = 15% APY
4000 = 12% APY
Others +4000 = 10% APY

Then you can take these profit percentages into account to structure your strategy.
