how much ram will i need for my site

dwtbfdwtbf Member
in Help

hi,

so i run a site, we get about 2-4k visitors a day, sometimes a few hundred at a time for a span of 1-2 hours, how much ram would be required to sustain my website? it's low traffic, using postgres for database, mailchannels as email provider

    3TB to safe.

    Have no idea what those 4k visitors are doing. Loading a single static image or 3 billion dynamic MySQL PHP web pages.

    depends on your sites, like you can run a 10000 visitors typecho blog in a 128M vps. but you cant run a 500 visitors WHMCS site in it.

    128 MB to 256 MB KVM VPS is enough

    You misread OP, they asked for RAM not traffic. The question is insufficient anyways.

    3TB RAM may be needed for 4k viewers. OP needs to be more specific or stay with shared hosting

    Why don't you try and error?
    It will be more effective.

    How big is the database ? Is it php based or any cms ? which database are you using ? How many DB queries per page ? How many approx pages ?

    You guys definitely missed the glory days of LEA, where we optimize our servers to get out most of it with relatively low resources.

    I say this can be done in 500GB RAM with optimizations

    Create a virtual box in your workstation and install your app there. Use a tool to simulate the traffic and see how much RAM it consumes. Then you have idea how much RAM to purchase in a VPS. Just add some wiggle room to do some other stuff. Or just double the RAM to be safe.

  • JanevskiJanevski Member

    @dwtbf How much RAM you'll need is relative to the number of visitors, but even more to what are they doing and how much ram each visitor utilizes.

    Whatever you do, try using nginx.

    If the content doesn't change per visitors then slap nginx or Varnish in front and serve the whole shite out of static cache...
