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!!

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!
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.
Its running for me.. So I am trying my level best to tweak everything and use as many resource friendly plugins possible to keep things running !!
I use LEMP on Ubuntu 14 and Wordpress and i see with “top” command that i use almost all memory, and you have zPanel! Have you seen your ram consume with “top” on terminal? 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!
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.
