256mb 512mb? Vps
Apr 21, 2007Is there a big difference to 256MB/512MB VPS solution Burstable to 1GB/2GB when dealing with low volume site.
Will response time increase much or just scalability?

I'm considering VPS hosting for a web application, which is a typical PHP/MySQL web app, but with some extra code modules for XML parsing and full-text search etc. These modules will surely have an overhead (as compared to a simple data-driven web app) once the web app starts handling concurrent users.
Looking at various VPS plans out there, I was wondering if 256mb RAM will suffice to cater a web application described above. Besides this web app, I do not plan to run anything else on the server (so server processes will be quite restricted). But I certainly don't want the server to crawl down (due to CPU and RAM usage). Thinking about it, 256mb "sounds" too small a number for a server, but hey I'm new to VPS anyways

More about the web app: Technically, the website I plan to launch is a typical multi-user PHP/MySQL web application, but one particular PHP script (a search engine script which uses complex database queries and stored procedures) will be invoked very frequently (can't predict how frequently as yet) for database processing (keyword search) and returning some results back to the client.
I need a small VPS for testing and development.
I have read many comments that cpanel on a 256mb VPS is pretty tight.
However, I have not seen many comments about cpanel VPS optimise

Do any of you have experience about this ?
Is is safe to run the cpanel VPS optimise on a 256mb VPS?
I am searching for a new webhost, as my current one has been having ongoing problems for the last year or so.
I am considering this plan at hostmysite.com:

However, it says that it uses 256MB of ram ... is this enough? It's just that it sounds low to me, but I don't know much about server configuration. I willing be hosting 12 sites there right away, and adding as time goes on.
I'm currently on a 256mb RAM VPS plan with CPanel included at GoDaddy and hosting a wordpress blog which gets around 3000 uniques a day. My blog won't even last a day before the server crashes.
Now I've turned almost all plugins and turned off mail services and optimised MYSQL and HTTPD according to some articles on this forum, so I'll see how it turns out tomorrow. But I've still got a lot of functionality I want to add to the site.
It seems to be that this basic VPS plan is inadequate for my demands. Would anyone agree with this? (I got one opinion from another forum, saying it's definitely inadequate)
I'M looking for a windows vps, preferably outside of the United States. I have come across Santrex.net, and their windows vps offer is 39$ a month for 30GB HD, 512MB ram, 100mbit connection, unmetered bandwidth, and you can choose between US or Germany.
I was just wondering if 512MB is enough to run VNC, apache, and a few other programs?
If you have another provider that has windows outside the us please share. :-)
Maybe there are already many topics about it,but i got lost.
Is it possible to run c-panel vps optimized on 256mb ram?
Or is it better to use another control panel on 256mb Ram?
i would buy a new 2950, i see that i can chose perc6 with 256mb and as second controller perc6 with 512mb ram, is there any way to get only one perc with 512mb?

Check with the resourses used, I only got 256mb in ram, and it always show "RED" and which had consumed 240mb on ram already at peak time.
Here is my setting of my httpd.conf file, I am looking for some expert who may give me a hand on this setting:

For running PHPBB3 or vBulletin, are there certain *ballpark* figures used to help decide between 256, 384, or 512MB of dedicated RAM on a VPS?
E.g. If you have XX number of concurrent users, you will probably need this amount of RAM?
I'm currently in the market for a new VPS that will be used for a single website. The client had it on a shared server, and ended up having it get suspended from too many httpd connections one day. Though the 2+ months it's been up, there haven't been any prior issues, so I think there was just something on that day that people found the website.
Anyway, according to WHM's bandwidth log, it hasn't used more then 46GB in a month, so I don't foresee this account needing to surpass 100GB of bandwidth.
The amount if disk space being used it currently at 1GB but up to 3-5GB would suffice.
I've tried out Direct Admin, but I'm much more knowledgable with WHM and cPanel that if at all possible, I'd want that on it. I'd prefer not to have to pay extra monthly for a license; I'd like for it to be included in the price.
I'm not looking for full management, but just basic management (and having support that actually reads your tickets as opposed to repeating the same bs every other ticket.. speaking from personal experience with another *cough* VPS host.)
I'm looking for the price range to be under $30 a month for the specs needed.
I realize cPanel needs a bit more memory, so.. hopefully this is justifiable:
Requirements:
OS - CentOS
CP - cPanel+WHM
RAM - 128-256MB dedicated, burstable to 512MB+ (though not a necessity)
DISK - 3-5GB of disk space (obviously more would be fine if it's available within PR)
Bandwidth - 100GB
Price Range - $30 or less
I've already tried out Primary VPS, so I don't want to go there. Spry's VPS is unmanaged, and I don't want to configure the VPS myself at all (I'm lazy and I really suck at SSH commands.)
If any of you guys can offer some ideas of VPS hosts to look into, that would fit the prereqs I listed, I would be forever in your debt (or not) but I'd really appreciate it.
I just don't want to deal with Primary VPS anymore, and have been stumped as to what other VPS hosts to look into. Obviously I'm still going to search around here, but sometimes I like hearing personal recommendations...
I'm seriously considering the LVPS-2 plan at SWVPS: 10GB space, 200GB bandwidth, 512MB RAM (burstable to 768MB). I have four sites hosted with MediaTemple but I want to give VPS another shot since it provides full root access. MediaTemple is hosting me fine, but I keep running into roadblocks with things that involve custom compiling. I'd really like some more flexibility.
So how easy would it be to add 4 domains to one VPS plan and have them all in their own subdirectory? Also, two of these domains would have one e-mail address, so I'd need a mail server along with a FTP server. I know these two to be slight resource hogs from my previous VPS experiences, as they both caused me to go over my limit (which was, I think, 256MB).
I sent SWVPS an email but all I got was a suggestion to get a dedicated server. These days it's hard to tell a genuine recommendation from someone trying to milk another $40/mo out of you. I really don't think I need a dedicated server for these sites, as I've hosted much more than that on shared servers (granted, that's a completely different area). I also can't afford dedicated hosting. This $20 price point for LVPS-2 is convenient, because it's the same price at MT, which I'm barely skimming by on.
Site #1 is a personal blog with one email account, powered by PHP and MySQL.
Site #2 is a company website and blog, powered by RoR, but not much database load. It would, however, run Subversion and browse it with Warehouse, a RoR SVN browser. This would probably be the main offender as everything SVN would be managed and run from here.
Site #3 is a software website in RoR, all downloads would be from Site #2's SVN server. It has forums, a bug tracker, a plugin/theme browser, and a development blog, and everything else is just (R)HTML.
Site #4 is another personal site, with one email account.
i am hosting my site in shared hosting. My totall visitor 5000. All i want to know when i should upgrade from shared to vps 512mb CPU Speed 2.0Ghz? Means how many visitor online i need to upgrade to vps? Please help. My current shared hosting plan include 20gb space and 400gb bandwith. Currently 5000 user using 4 gb space and 120 gb bandwith.

Now, I know its running out of memory because i get frequent QoS Alerts in plesk (kmemsize is apparently the memory size):

I have attached my results (when I did top).
My questions are:
1. Should I be expecting to be out of memory running what I am?
2. Is there a way to see the problem domains (memory wise)?
3. Are there any ways I can reduce the memory? (I have followed this already:

4. Where is the memory usage coming from (I am finding it very hard to understand TOP)
