How large of a VPS do I need?

Hi all,

I'm considering running a relatively small, low-traffic mojoPortal site (brettle.com) on a Xen-based VPS. Anyone have any experience with this? How much RAM and disk does your VPS have, and what OS are you running?

Thanks,

I'm curious to hear any experiences on this too.

I'm running a VPS 3 from 1and1 (Windows Server 2003). I've got SQLExpress and MySql running on it and about 5-6 sites including joeaudette.com, demo.mojoportal.com, storedemo.mojoportal.com, and some demos for my clients. The VPS has a 500mb ram minimum and 50gb disk. It comes with only 1 fixed ip address. Seems to work pretty well so far, though I wish I could get more ram.

96MB of RAM is definitely not enough.

Based on very preliminary testing on a Linode 360 account, 360MB of RAM seems to be enough. Less RAM (e.g. the 256MB which is more common with other VPS accounts) might work as well. Not sure.
