Question
Why $5 month plan has got a very low RAM?
Hi, I am very new to this platform and I am planning to learn on how to develop as well as use existing applications in the Ubuntu server (specifically 14.04).
However, I was a bit surprised to know that $5/mon plan had a very low ram of 512MB. Despite the server’s recommended settings, what can you do with this amount of RAM? Can you only run one intensive resource service or two tiny services at the same time?
Thanks, and please keep in mind I am a noob in this area of servers.

Allow me first to welcome you to the family of DO.
Now about your concern of low RAM, I used to run 2 websites on a $5 droplet, both Wordpress sites using Debian with Lighttpd MySQL and PHP. And still no crash. Also I have another $5 droplet running a mailserver. Droplet still up and running with Lighttpd MySQL PHP Postfix Dovecot Amavis SpamAssassin and ClamAV on Debian.
