LEMP stack running out of memory

i have a lemp stack for wordpress, currently getting an average of 70- 100 visitors per day. 1gb server and mysql keeps crashing. i have netdata on as well, and i keep having to go into the ssh console to restart it as a result.

this is what i see in the error log Out of memory: Kill process 29383 (mysqld) score 244 or sacrifice child Killed process 29383 (mysqld) total-vm:1169884kB, anon-rss:288068kB, file-rss:0kB, shmem-rss:0kB

do i need more memory?

here are my configs for NGINX

user www-data; worker_processes 1; pid /run/nginx.pid; include /etc/nginx/modules-enabled/*.conf;

events { worker_connections 1024; use epoll; multi_accept on; }
