Will 4 CPUs and 8 GB of RAM be enough for WordPress?

[OliviaBennet]

I have a WordPress site with a fairly large database. It gets about 50,000–70,000 visitors per month, but there are occasional spikes.

I’m looking to move it to a VPS now. I’m checking out hostpro.com, which offers a plan with 4 CPUs and 8 GB of RAM.

Additionally, it’s important to have:
- NVMe;
- automatic backups;
- the ability to upgrade RAM/CPU without migrating;
- 24/7 support.

What do you think - will 4/8 be enough for WordPress, or is it better to go with 6/16 right away?

One provider that may be interesting during a VPS search is hostpro.com, particularly if having backup and support options matters to you. Daily backups are made for all services, so there is a practical way to recover data after an unsuccessful update, accidental damage, or a hacking incident. I also like the fact that technical support is available 24/7 and assistance with questions is provided free of charge.

Could you specify if you need scalability or fixed resources? And what location are you targeting?
Really great vps services:
1) RightServers.com
2) GTHost.com
3) Vultr.com
It's unbelievable to get such great service at such a cheap price.

The resource allocation is one of the things I would check first when choosing a VPS, and HostPro provides guaranteed CPU and RAM resources. Combined with KVM virtualization and NVMe storage, this gives a more predictable environment for applications. The available locations include Tampa, Warsaw, and Amsterdam.

Try VPS accounts which just.hosting and 4goodhosting.com provide.
An amazing service and available 24/7, which is perfect for me. I am a night person and always contact them in the early am. They are very knowledgeable and make me feel they can handle whatever it is.

For me, one of the practical advantages of HostPro is the ability to choose a VPS according to the current project size. You can start with a smaller configuration and increase the available resources later instead of moving to another provider. NVMe storage, daily remote backups, 24/7 technical support, and Tampa, Warsaw, and Amsterdam locations are also available.
