Hi, I’d like to create a droplet (wordpress on ubuntu) but I can not select it, if I choose the cheapest plan. I have already a wordpress droplet working on this plan. So what is the reason. I dont understand. Please solve this problem

@UKn0Me is correct. WordPress and it’s LAMP stack had a tendency to crash on 512MB droplets as the MySQL process would exhaust the RAM. While we have disabled the WordPress one-click image for 512MB droplets you can still create a 512MB WordPress droplet it you wish. If you paste this script into the user-data field on the create page, a WordPress site will be created for you. This repository on github also includes many other user-data scripts you can use to launch various configurations.
If you do choose to launch WordPress on a 512MB droplet it would be a good idea to also create a swap file to prevent crashing of the MySQL process.
Because of the low RAM of the $5/mo plan, the setup crashed when all RAM was exhausted so DO decided to disable Wordpress 1-click installations on it.
