    Might be a bit tight, depending on your knowledge/expertise and diverse details.

    That's about 1.5 req/s and even assuming that peak is 10x that's easy to handle for nginx (as well as for pretty much any other web server out there).

    If you want the best ("cost no concern", Top everything) -> @Clouvider
    If you want the good middle ground (really good VPS + good support/service, good price) -> NexusBytes / @seriesn
    If you want the cheapest (low, low price, acceptable performance and support during working days/hours) -> HostSolutions / @cociu

    Honorable mentioning: @Francisco (10 years good service and product at good price)

    use the Free Litespeed web server instead of Ngnix its 30X times faster than Nginx.

    "30 x" ... Where did you get that nonsense number?

    Isn't that on one of the litespeed marketing pages ?

    Possibly, but I don't care about marketing BS.

    The answer is yes. As cache/reverse proxy server, Nginx or ATS can both 10K UV per day easily with 512 MB of ram. Varnish might need slightly more ram. However, for the sake of future growth, you may want to use a server with higher ram, because 8000 UV per day can net you a solid income already, and I wouldn't suggest messing it up with a potentially underperforming cache server.

    Sure. OpenLiteSpeed can for sure. Especially with the LiteSpeed plugin if you run WordPress.

    Anyway, why you won’t go Hetzner? It’s barely a few euro’s for a cloud server and it starts at 2GB RAM. Also had good experiences with Veesp (Russia), Chroot (Romania) and WaveRide (Austria, do they even still exist?!)

    Thanked by 1maznos
  • 30x , why not 32x or 28.5x just to make it realistic and no one will check even if its -100x^2

  • Just go for hetzner cloud.

    everything that you need. if you are using WordPress cms then they have LScache plugin to boost your website performance dramatically high.
    you can also research and read reviews about Ngnix vs LiteSpeed which better.

  • I currently use a 512mb slice + 256gb slab from buyvm to deliver a lot of static files with nginx and performs ok.

    I tried do reverse proxy caching with OLS but seems needs to be done using rewrite rules, i prefer nginx because all i need is copy-paste my config.
