Grav is nice but the cache can grow. Still better than WordPress on 128MB.

Thank you for the tips. I will try Grav next weekend and report back.

In Bulgaria we have cheap VPS from local providers, 2GB for 5 leva monthly. Why torture yourself with 128MB?

That is like 2.50 EUR? Very good price. In Poland local providers also cheap but Contabo has better international bandwidth usually.

BGP perspective: Contabo has good upstream diversity in Nuremberg. For a tiny VPS the network matters more than the RAM if you're just proxying.

Ltdwebx checking in. I run 20 WordPress sites on a 2GB VPS with Redis object cache. Would not attempt on less than 1GB with multiple sites.

20 sites on 2GB? This is more crazy than my 128MB test 😂

Not crazy with proper caching. Redis or even memcached changes the game. But on 128MB you can't run Redis either.

With Redis and nginx fastcgi cache, plus maybe wp-super-cache doing static fallback, this is doable if the sites are low traffic. Still tight.

It's always DNS. Always.

Willmahdi here. I managed 15 low-traffic WordPress sites on 1GB with nginx helper and WP Rocket. The key is aggressive caching and no dynamic content on most pages.
