Install a lightweight web platform on a lightweight VPS
To test the limits of a WordPress installation over a light resources hardware I tried a common LAMP installation (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) over Ubuntu 10.04 on a VPS that is 128mb RAM, 256mb Burstable RAM, 1 CPU core, 10GB Disk Space, and 500GB on Bandwith.
It was not pretty. Common administration use of WordPress quickly reached the 128mb RAM limit, showing that the configuration above was not an option.
Fortunately, I found that with replacements such as Debian instead of Ubuntu or Nginx instead of Apache, WordPress can actually work on a lightweight VPS.
