Hi, I am not a tech person, so can you help me to choose a plan? My wordpress site will be 99% similar to this site http://themeforest.net/item/newspaper full_screen_preview/5489609. So any experienced person will get a rough idea of how much resource the site may need. So if my site get 100K visitor per day & average visit duration is 5-10 minutes, which minimum VPS plan will be perfect for me? I dont want my site to be slow.
Thanks

well 100k + nginx + php-cgi + varnish cache, a 2 core, 2GB droplet should work fine, might well try 1 core, 1GB droplet first and see and if its to much you can snapshot it and move it to bigger plan
100k visitors * 7minutes(10 pv) = 1000k page views. That is average 20pv/sec and may spike to 100pv/sec sometime.
If you make static cache plugin enabled (take a search of wordpress plugins), and there are no many pic uploaded, I believe the $5 plan can handle it. (use Nginx instead of Apache)
But I still recommend you to buy 2 plans, 1 for Nginx 1 for Mysql. (maybe additional 1 for file upload/download). So that you can decide which server you need to upgrade when your site become slow.
Hello there,

Choosing the right Droplet plan depends on your workload. An oversized Droplet would underuse its resources and cost more, but an undersized Droplet running at full CPU or memory would suffer from degraded performance or errors.
To help you pick the best Droplet plan for your use case, this article explains the differences between shared and dedicated CPUs, goes into detail on each Droplet plan, and concludes with how to make a data-driven decision.
You can also resize a Droplet to a larger plan after creation, including resizing to a larger Droplet plan of a different kind. For example, you can resize from a Basic Droplet plan to a larger CPU-Optimized Droplet plan. See the Droplet pricing page for a full list of plans and prices.
