    That 2 GB plan for under $7 a year is just marketing. What can you realistically do with 2 GB of RAM these days?
    These days, you need at least 6 GB of RAM to get started.

    Windows Server user detected.

    I have a feeling you don't get many visitors to your website; your server has never crashed due to too many simultaneous visitors.

    Switch away from IIS.

    How bad is IIS 7.0? I did use it in 2011, so I know how to set up servers on Windows, but I've been using Debian since 2012.
    I'm a “ghost user” on Lowenbox—that's where my journey began. My first VPS servers were with HudsonValleyHost and ChicagoVPS.

    In all seriousness, if you genuinely need 6 GB RAM to run a web server, something is badly misconfigured or impossibly bloated. Even if everything is kept at the defaults, there are plenty of tweaks you can make to significantly reduce memory usage.

    In the age of AI, poor configuration is rarely the main issue. Any serious application today requires a significant amount of RAM, and I have to distribute the workload across several VPSs from different providers.

    I know that ISPConfig 3 can be installed on a VPS with 128 MB of RAM and used to host around ten domains—I did it myself back in 2012. But what can you actually develop on a server like that? Practically nothing. It may be capable of installing and running everything, but it is far too limited to support real clients. If you want to build something serious, you need more resources.

    Found the issue. :D

    AI is infamous for giving really, really bad configuration advice that is blindly followed by people who don't do any profiling.

    I’m a pragmatist. AI has helped me identify inefficiencies and significantly reduce CPU and RAM usage. I believe in it because I’ve seen the resource-usage graph plummet.

    So you’re saying you used to need 12GB of ram for your website?!

  • I run you a whole ass gameserver in 6GB RAM, stop using Node lmao

    Said a guy who still wondering how to optimize their site xD

    I hope you are really joking.

    based on last time i do load test, a single 1vCore/1GB VPS can handle around A single Mybb Site With 30 Concurrent User Per minute ~~Almost equal to 50.000 User Per day

    and that is without too much enhancements. and may can handle much more if more experienced admin/dev do it.

    Only 30 per minute? Probably tweaking the database slightly should bring that up to 100+.

    No, not even a poorly (actually not at all) maintained Windows Server is that demanding. This is my homelab "throw everything on it and never remove or even exit a single thing because I restore it to an image every now and then" running SAMBA for 8 disks, a handful of clients, file indexing, currently checksumming around a goddamn TB of shit, one RDP user blah blah blah

    Shut down only SOME of the crap

    So not only was that claim exaggerated but factually just pure bullshit.

    My-idlers, gatus, irc bouncer/webclient, server stats, nginx instance, some other self hosted stuff… plenty of personal/self hosted stuff works fine in 1-2gb of ram.

    Now I understand why you don't need a lot of RAM...
    For $5, I got 5 TB of storage for a year [Google Drive]—Gemini PRO came as a free bonus for one year.

    Guys, post the best vps annual deals y'all have found so far under 15$/year! Also if you're already using one do mention the provider and experience with them so far, curious to see what deals y'all have found so far! For me right now I'm using Dedirock 7$ a year vps with 2gb ram, 1vcpu and 2tb bandwidth. For the price it's pretty great to host like small websites and docker services.

    you got an offer i wish to get the same
