Hey Benny 👋

With around 20 lightweight WordPress sites and relatively low traffic, you could likely host all of them on a single Droplet, depending on your performance needs and how well you optimize the stack.

A good starting point might be a Shared CPU Droplet with 2 vCPUs and 4GB RAM, especially if you’re using a lightweight Nginx + PHP + MySQL setup to manage them efficiently:

That said, if you prefer easier management and don’t want to handle server updates/security yourself, you might also consider using App Platform with a containerized setup, but for cost and flexibility, a Droplet might be the better fit in your case.

Here’s a handy guide to help you choose the right plan:

Heya, @bennyalexander

If your content is mostly text (few images/media), 80 GB should be more than enough. You can add DigitalOcean volumes later if needed. A Shared CPU Droplet should be a good place to start.
