Marco, 1GB VPS shouldnt be a problem if all you are doing is running a few farcry applications and perhaps an email service like smartermail, verity, and a few basic HTML sites. How many hits the sites get also contributes to the memory useage as more hits = more sessions = more memory for coldfusion requirements.
Lack of memory tends to lead to services shutting themselves down. Coldfusion seems to be the main memory eater. I regularly have to restart coldfusion service on my 1GB VPS due memory shortages, roughly once every 2 months or so. One day I will look into a 2GB VPS, but at the moment, they are expensive solution. To help overheads on my VPS, Ive hosted the SQL databases on a separate shared database server instead of running them on the VPS. I would steer clear of 512mb VPS running coldfusion. Cause nothing but headaches IMHO. On Mar 4, 2:23 pm, <[email protected]> wrote: > I wouldn't recommend less than 1GB RAM. We are with HMS and even 1GB is not > enough. I had to turn verity off.
