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!!

I do “top” in terminal and i see with LEMP and Wordpress installation (without plugin&site data) on Ubuntu i use 90% of total ram.
KiB Mem: 501880 total, 484296 used, 17584 free, 13436 buffers KiB Swap: 0 total, 0 used, 0 free. 345056 cached Mem
What can i do to optimice this? :(
Thanks!
Perfect! Any tutorial to add a proper caching?
Thank you very much.
Perfect thanks!! I do not know if this question is correct: How many visits can support 512 mb ram in a website of wordpress, lemp and basics plugin? Thanks again!
I run my own site with wordpress on a 512 plan and have no problem. I have about 50 visitors per week and it’s just fine.

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.
