   Hi, I stumbled upon this site while I was looking for a cheap VPS host and I am looking to get some advices if I could.

   I want to look for a budget vps for these needs:

   1. Host a couple of dynamic Wordpress blogs (with small page views like <100/day)
   2. Ftp server for some file sharing
   3. Experiment with XMPP messaging server (probably jabber?)
   4. Experiment with Ruby/Ramaze or Python/Django
   5. Some minor cron jobs

   Do you guy think this can be done with 64MB vps (or 128MB?)? Or which of these tasks are not realistic for low end vps?

   You guys seem to be able to run php sites off 64MB vps, but VPSLink does not recommend people to use their 64MB/128MB host plan to run dynamic sites at all?

   Also, could you guys recommend any VPS host? ATM I'm thinking about RapidXen, Superbytes and VPSLink.

   Any advices are appreciated! Thanks!

   64MB might be hard.

   Host a couple of dynamic Wordpress blogs (with small page views like <100/day)

   Use lighttpd (~2MB) + PHP in CGI mode (0MB idling, ~15MB per invocation) + MySQL w/o InnoDB and everything tuned for low memory usage (~8MB)

   Ftp server for some file sharing

   Run ProFTPd or PureFTPd in inetd/xinetd mode which would not take any memory idling (provided you are already running inetd or xinetd)

   Experiment with XMPP messaging server

   You might wish to try Jabberd14 as it uses much less memory than Jabberd2 or ejabberd. You can probably get jabberd14 to run for under 5MB although I haven't used it for quite a while.

   Experiment with Ruby/Ramaze or Python/Django

   You might forget about them on a small 'n' tight VPS...

   Some minor cron jobs

   It shouldn't be a problem, if it's really "minor".

   One issue with VPSLink's openvz plans is that they don't give you any burstable amount. Otherwise 64MB (with 128MB burtable) is more than enough for light WordPress sites.
