I’m wondering how many clients can DigitalOcean’s $5 server handle?
I have 100 members, can I handle them all at once or do I need to upgrade to the $10 server package.
Thank you for taking your time in answering my question

I have had a $5 VPS hold 300 at one time with no issues.
I have a $10 VPS now that runs 600+ clients. Though at 600-800 clients the bandwidth starts to become an issue. So I would say no more 700 on any one VPS on DO.
I have a $10 vps with teamspeak and a simple wordpress install… I am maxed out CPU and RAM for no reason… only things running on the server is teamspeak and wordpress… shouldn’t be having this…
