it would be must easier to state what you want to do and us telling you if it's possible than listing every single program in existence that could potentially work
sry bout that was just looking at a generalization.
but specifically would 128-256 be able to handle a website? (wordpress in particular)
Depends on the traffic and what kind of setup you're running.
128-256 is enough to run a wp
Depends how big site is it.

very nice thanks what I was looking for.
was looking cause I keep seeing all these 1g - 2g offers but a lot of people seem to be going towards the 256-512 offers. Would be good for newbies to know what they are actually buying into if its overkill or not. But then again you can never have too much ram heh.
so it would be safe to say a 128 can run a vpn and squid not a problem then.
VPN, yes. Squid, depends.
http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/SquidMemory#How_much_memory_do_I_need_in_my_Squid_server.3F
I ran a squid as caching reverse proxy even on a 64mb vps with a webserver + php.
For a website you want 256MB min. Can you squeeze it into 128? Maybe, but then you gotta be constantly farting around trying to trim a bit here and a bit there and oh noezzz too much traffic and apache/nginx pukes.
Also you want 256MB OpenVZ which doesn't run a kernel so more memory actually available to you.
I have been hosting vps's since 2009, and in my experience the "avg" client uses about 256mb or less. (Since you are asking for a general speculation)
A server hosing WHMCS is likely to use about half a gb of ram, but I would recommend at least 1gb ram to be safe.
And yes, 99% of websites can easily be hosted on a 256mb server.
I like 512mb for my Wordpress websites on LEMP stacks.
256 is okayy..
32mb for my static ones. & OpenVPN servers.
First 2GB VPS I had was from CVPS.. for Minecraft.. lasted a couple months then I got rid of it. I barely touch gigs when I buy VMS. Had a 5GB Overzold which I got bored of & practically went idle.
thanks for the input guys. I have more of a better idea of what can do what now. When you are using LEMP/LAMP how are you updating these? some of these scripts claim u can upgrade but the stack breaks when you upgrade it any stable lemp/lamp setups with working updates?
I was wondering myself the same thing, all these 2g+ offers am I really going to use that much and would I benefit more from having lebs spread out across doing different things rather than putting all eggs in one basket.
With 2GB you can do backflips.
With 8GB the world is your oyster...
Don't use a script. For debian at least nginx provides its own repository of stable versions. Or you can use dotdeb. I think dotdeb is better because you'll probably need it for phpfpm anyway.
In 128Mb RAM VPS I managed to use quite busy (10-40K visits a day) Drupal-based site (custom build of Nginx + custom build of PHP + MariaDB + memcached).
In 512Mb RAM VPS the above type of site was able to handle 1-1.5 million hits a day with up to 50 pages loaded simultaneously.
Not a big problem, save initial setup and keeping system clean off anything unnecessary.
