VPS for WordPress
Self-hosted WordPress with your own stack, caching and full control
How many resources you need
Why that many
WordPress lives and dies by memory, not cores. PHP-FPM keeps a pool of workers in RAM and MySQL wants a buffer for its indexes; when either runs short the site does not slow down gracefully, it returns a memory error. A single cached site is comfortable on one core and two gigabytes; the load grows not with visitors but with plugins, an uncached WooCommerce cart and the admin dashboard. Object caching with Redis and a page cache do more for speed than an extra core

What to check before paying
- Whether there is a control panel or you set up the LEMP stack by hand
- That you can choose the PHP version and enable OPcache and Redis
- How much a dedicated IPv4 and an SSL certificate cost for your domain
- The renewal price and how backups are billed, per gigabyte or included

Questions
Common questions about a wordpress
Is a VPS better than managed WordPress hosting
It is cheaper and more flexible, but the maintenance is yours: updates, security and backups. Managed hosting hides all of that for a higher price. For one simple blog, managed hosting is often the calmer choice; for several sites, a custom stack or WooCommerce, a VPS costs less and gives you control over caching and PHP limits
How much RAM does WooCommerce need
More than a content site. A store keeps sessions, a cart and uncacheable checkout pages, so two gigabytes is the floor and four is comfortable once you have real orders and a few extensions. The database also grows faster, so leave headroom for MySQL rather than sizing to today’s catalogue
