I'm at the moment using shared web hosting and a Subversion server, and I'd like to have a git server as well. Now the time has come that a virtual server is less expensive than buying all other packets separately.

The vserver is mainly for private use, the web page is my private one (low bandwidth). What would you suggest me to order regarding RAM – is 512 MB okay or should I rather go for 1 GB?

It obviously depends on your needs, but for comparison, I have several web-sites, git-repos, postgresql and exim on a Xen-instanse with 384MB of RAM. No problem whatsoever. So 512MB should be quite sufficient (and probably quite a lot cheaper than 1GB)

Thank you! Then I will take the 512 MB one. – Simon A. Eugster Mar 13 '11 at 12:08

As much as you need. We dont really know what you need - your description is totally non informative in this regard.

Your answer is in no ways better. What information is missing? – Simon A. Eugster Mar 13 '11 at 12:09

How much ram he needs. A lot depends on how, for example, the programming of the website is. I would run a virtual server privately at home to check that out - only way to really measure what is needed. – TomTom Mar 13 '11 at 12:57
