There is a limit to the amount of traffic that a 64MB VPS can serve, but if you want to host 10,000 low-traffic sites then by all means go ahead.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Yes, You Can Run 18 Static Sites on a 64MB VPS</title><url>http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/yes-you-can-run-18-static-sites-on-a-64mb-link-1-vps/</url></story>

Questions like this are always loaded. First of all:&lt;p&gt;- This assumes the end user is familiar with command line usage. The typical consumer of VPSes aren&apos;t, in my experience, and rely on something like cPanel to do all administration. Which is why you can&apos;t really run on 64MB.&lt;p&gt;- The site itself doesn&apos;t take up RAM, just disk space. If you have 1024 static sites the only thing taking up ram is the configuration of the sites sitting in Apache&apos;s memory. As long as there isn&apos;t a lot of traffic on the site, it doesn&apos;t really matter how many there are.&lt;p&gt;- You could have 1 static site that has a medium amount of traffic and it would bring the 64MB instance to its knees as soon as you have more than a few concurrent connections.&lt;p&gt;Anyway, from this hoster&apos;s experience, when I get a question like &quot;What can I run on a 64MB VPS&quot; the easy answer is &quot;Not much&quot; because usually the type of person that wants to spend $3/mo on 64MB VPS instead of $7/mo for a 1GB VPS doesn&apos;t really have their priorities in place.</text><parent_chain></parent_chain></comment><story><title>Yes, You Can Run 18 Static Sites on a 64MB VPS</title><url>http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/yes-you-can-run-18-static-sites-on-a-64mb-link-1-vps/</url></story>
