What specs do I need for WP with Openlitespeed?
Please tell me what VPS specs do I need for a single Wordpress Magazine Blog. I will be using openlitespeed with Cyberpanel. Keep in mind I am just starting a new site so at first there will be less visitors. I was wondering if 2GB Ram and 1 core processor will be enough for a long term (imagine the visitors increase to 100 per day [max]) or 4GB Ram and 2 core processor will be good. I just don't want to overspend. Any suggestions?

2GB will be more than enough to run one WordPress site. I have ran Openlitespeed and one WordPress site as a test on a 512MB RAM VPS, it worked without any issues.
You could even use shared hosting as it might work out cheaper in the long run if you don't have a lot of traffic, to begin with.
Agree with above. If you are just starting out and don’t want to overspend, go with a web hosting package (with a good provider) rather than a VPS. That way you can focus on building the site. the content, promoting it, etc. Once it gains traction and your hitting resources limits consistently, then move to a VPS.
Also, if your moving to a VPS in the future personally I would go with someone who offers DirectAdmin over CyberPanel. Try BuyVM where you will get a full DirectAdmin licence and extras like Softaculous for free.
If you don't want any control panel to manage your website. Then, 2 CPU core and 2GB RAM will be enough to run one WordPress site on the VPS server with Openlitespeed.
First, try 2GB RAM. If it slow, upgrade to 4GB RAM.
Is there any free site or software to add as many users as I want on my site to check if I does not become unresponsive ir slow down? Sort of DOS attack on my site.
You should be fine with 2GB ram especially if you use OLS. If you have plenty of plugins, it is recommend to have 2 Cores.
What about this?
@hanzen I would seriously check with your provider before stress testing your vps server. You are sharing the metal server with other VPS clients - if you swamp the network connection with a flood, noone will be happy with you. Check with provider first.
Ah. Umm. Don't, unless you have written permission. That is a sure fire way to get terminated
As for OLS, it all depends on how many websites and how heavy you are going to make it. 512M-1G would be more than enough for most of the day to day usage
I have 1 vps from letbox with 2vcpu and 2gb ram , I install cyberpanel with open litespeed and had 2 WordPress site with several plugins (around 10 active on each sites) and it can handle around 5000-7000 pageviews/day and only use around 1,5GB of memory and sometimes when we use some plugins in wp-admin will use 100% CPU on one vcpu for 1-2 minutes but on average only use 20% CPU ... I just upgrade to 4GB of memory because I plan to add more sites and expect an increase in visitor on current sites...
I use cyberpanel (Openlitespeed) - 3 Wordpress sites with LSCache, 4GB memory, 2 cores is okay. Websites are using over 10 plugins, all are local directory websites having 50-500~ pages. CPU goes from 5% - 30%. Ram usage 33%. So 2gb ram 1 core is okay to start for 1 website.
My client's WP site which has more than 87k views in last 28 days flies after installing WP fastest cache. (The one with a cheetah picture).
Previously i tried super cache, LS cache etc. The site was slow even after adding Bunnycdn. With with WP fastest cache+bunnycdn, the best performance for a local news site.
Happy with the setup.
If your site is not expecting much visitors, you may not need the bunnycdn. Just use wp fastest cache plugin..
