How many vCPUs and how much RAM does a small blog or shop really need?

A way to size a server without paying for specs you will never use.

Measure before you buy

Look at your current memory and CPU peaks first. A small blog is often limited by RAM (database and PHP workers), not by CPU.

Start small, plan the upgrade

  • Pick a plan whose provider lets you resize without reinstalling.
  • Keep a swap file as a safety net, not as capacity.
  • Compare plans in the VPS table, including the renewal rate.
