Wordpress site and LEMP ram

September 14, 2014 3.2k

Hi all, I'm new!

I would like to ask about hosting a site that currently does not have many visitors and is not heavy. If i install wordpress with LEMP, it will require 1GB of RAM or 512? What should i choose?

Thanks!!

If your site is also not complex (I mean, having plenty of complex plugins) and add proper caching then you may start with a smallest droplet (aka $5/m droplet). Using a LEMP server will be best option in my thought. try this

And, Of course you will have option to upgrade (from 512MB to 1GB or more) your droplet anytime.

PS: If It's a production site consider to enable backup at 20% extra cost. It will be worthy investment.

Clocking 3.5k unique along with 6.5k page views a day on arvg..

CentOS 6.5 x86 / zPanel / WordPress / W3TC with 512MB RAM and 512MB Swap..

So far no crash since setup, which is around 25 days..

Wow, if this is not a dream, i think this is the webhosting of my dreams. I hope they keep prices and continue to improve, I have not seen anything better than this.
