Ask HN: What VPS size is the best?

1 pointtelmich1 comment

I'm wondering what kind of VPS you get for which use case.

I've seen Ruby on Rails deployments running on 1 Core / 2GB RAM / 10 GB SSD size, but I have also seen mattermost deployments on 4 Core / 8 GB / 50GB SSD + 1TB data disks.

What do you think is "normal" today?

It's whatever you need. If you're just running a simple web-app that doesn't need to do much processing, get something small. If you want to run a database and have a lot of IO, you'll need something beefier. There is no single "best" size. Get what fits your needs.
