Hi, I’d need a VPS with at least 2GB of RAM but I don’t really need much disk space, CPUs or bandwidth. Can I only create machines with the custom presets, without possibly customizing them? An ideal setup for me would be 2/4 GB RAM, maybe two cores would be nice (but I’m quite sure just one would be enough) but as little as 10GB of disk space and I don’t really need more than 100GB (and I’m exaggerating anyway) of bandwidth EDIT: So, I’ve just noticed that we’re allowed to “flexibly resize” droplets; which means we pay the same amount we’d pay for a higher tier VPS without getting the size upgrade (I do understand it can be very useful and I am going to do it right now, but it still feels… weird, and it’s also a bit of a waste - I’ll get 3TB of bandwidth, and I am not even going to use 5% of it!)

Flexible resizing is intended to provide a method to scale the RAM and CPU of a droplet as needed for times of high load. We don’t currently support custom droplet configurations however. While you can get a droplet with more RAM and CPU cores by using flexible resizing if you are not doing so on a temporary basis it is recommended to use a permanent resize which will also scale your disk image and partition to provide the additional space included in the plan.
