Web Hosting Talk : Web Hosting Main Forums : VPS Hosting : Knownhost VPS suggestion

[Perryb]

Hi,
I am planning to shift from shared hosting to knownhost VPS. The problem is I can't decide how much RAM to go for.
My blog gets 40000 pageviews each day. Although my current webhost says 2024 MB should be the one I should buy but I think that's more than required.

Currently server load says 4.50(16 cpus). I can't make out what this means.

Any help will be appreciated

Hmm You may start with vs4 or vs5 Good thing about KH is you can do custom RAM upgrades, so if it's not sufficient just increase it.

Query it with KH.....you can always get advice directly from Paul who's the CTO.

And as said, you can always do upgrades etc as required....you're not limited to the listed packages only.

Thanks for quick reply
There's a budget constraint. I am limited to 550$ for annual package. Trying to fit my needs in this amount

Also, I intend to run only 1 wordpress hosted blog.

Go with the 1GB VS3 and take it from there....that comes in under budget.

YES, VS3 seems to be the plan to start with and you will see how things go, if you need a bit more RAM, then do a customer upgrade, if you need a lot more, go for VS4.
You can also try to tweek and optimise your website so that you need less RAM to run things smoothly, once you're on board, open a ticket and you'll probably get great help from the techs at KH!

You can start monthly and then convert to annual payments once you feel comfortable. This is popular amongst our clients so you don't pay so much upfront to later realize you need to do an upgrade, etc. JFYI.

@Xtremo You reply in a flash
@numerix I have no knowledge about coding. Google is what I turn to when I need help. Will KH help me out with wordpress optimization?

@KnownHost Sure. I guess that's the best way to start. And good to see you guys are active on forums too!
