Looking for cheap and stable VPS
Hi, I want to downgrade from a dedicated server ($900 annualy) to more cheaper VPS ($200-300 annualy), as it is too powerful for a mostly static content and scripts. Also, we've removed JIRA from live server (JAVA eats too much resources).
Currently I have following configuration:
Dedicated server configuration and stats:
Godaddy Economy
OS: Linux Fedora 32-Bit
CPU: Intel® Core™ i3 - 2 cores
RAM: 2 GB
Storage: 2 x 160 GB hard drives
Bandwidth: 5 TB per month
Stats:
CPU processes (Nginx + Apache) - usually 4-20%, peak 60%,
RAM - usually 0,2-20mb, peak 250mb(?)
2 Websites on 2 domains:
- Wordpress: 1000-5000 unique visitors per day
- Custom CMS: 100-200 Unique Visitors
Additional:
Helpdesk: Kayako 4.0 (prehosted)
Cron jobs - daily (backup) and each minute (newsletter script - send mail SMPT/POP3)
Newsletter script: 10000+ subscribers. Plus some minor maintence scripts.
Please advise on more stable and cheaper VPS.

You can most likely cover that with a well tuned VPS running nginx with about 512mb of ram although you did initially say static then mention wordress + your own CMS, are you offloading content to a CDN or something as wordpress based sites are not really classed as static.
As your budget will cover it I would suggest going for a XEN based solution to ensure dedicated resources and I would also ask if the hits are spread out evenly or are the majority at specific times in the day, that's the only thing that would be a point of concern, nginx is great at handling numbers but e.g. 4000 within 30 minutes may be an issue for 512mb of ram.
I suppose the advantage of a VPS is that if it slows down due to resource limitation then you could always upgrade it to e.g. 768mb within a few minutes.
Assuming your looking for USA based but I could be wrong take a look at quickweb's XEN based offers.█ -> INCEPTION HOSTING LIMITED Since 2010!

KnownHost is incredibly well priced for a managed VPS. Their response times have been shockingly fast for me over the last...I wanna say 3 months. Hardly long enough to review, I know, but read up on them. I chose them to move from a dedicated to a VPS because I couldn't find a person with an unkind word to say about them. An abundance of the opposite, however,
