Hi guys,
Thing is, I want to run 6 to 10 wordpress sites (don’t get freaked out by the number just yet) on a 512MB RAM Droplet. Of this sites I get hit roughly 1k times a day, IN TOTAL. So:
- The sites get hit like 1000 times a day IN TOTAL.
- I end up using roughly 15GB to 20GB a month of outbound bandwidth and maybe 1GB or 2GB of inbound bandwidth.
- My current HD use is -> Usage: 10.87 GB / 100 GB (10.87%). Of those 10.87GB, 9GB are used by email.
What do you guys think?
Thanks.

512MB of RAM is not enough, even if you open up 6 tabs, you can use it, it will be very lag, in my opinion, I will upgrade the ram to improve the computer performance.
Memory is going to be your bottleneck. With 10 sites on a 512 MB server, you’ll be cutting it close. However, you could cut corners by doing things like disabling PHP’s opcache (so, making every request a tiny bit slower but saving memory). Take a look at reducing WordPress memory usage.
