I currently have a unixshell vps at "the32". This server is a "backup server".

I want to migrate another server of mine to unixshell. The server is going to run:

- apache
- apache-ssl
- mysql
- postgresql
- postfix (smtp)
- pop3/imap
- bind

The hosted site got an average of 200 visits / day, and 200 emails / day.
Which plan should i use ? I know that the plan "the32" has all bandwith and diskspace i need, the main doubt is memory.

Thanks in Advance.

Your question is very broad, nonetheless, CPU & Memory are your biggest concerns.

You're using software that is resource extensive out the box. Mainly Apache and MySQL. These require special tuning, otherwise, it doesn't matter what plan you get, poorly written and optimized software can bring any server down.

With that said, with some decent optimizations, and with low visits (though you didn't mention the server-side language used), I had The 96 plan (except w/ LightTPD instead of Apache), it ran fine. I also had 3 sites w/ 500+ unique hits.

Maybe i will install everything and then just start upgrading plans until i get one that will run all those services fine. My main doubt is memory cause mysql/postgresql take a lot of memory.
Thanks for your reply!
