How much RAM do I need for WordPress VPS?

Last updated on September 25, 2022 @ 3:29 pm

WordPress requires at least 8GB of RAM to function properly. However, depending on your hosting provider and the specific configuration of your WordPress site, you may need more or less RAM.

In general, if you’re using a default WordPress installation and aren’t running any additional plugins or themes, you’ll likely need 4GB of RAM or less. If you’re running a busy blog with a lot of active users, you may need 8GB or more of RAM.

PRO TIP: If you are unsure about how much RAM you need for your WordPress VPS, it is best to consult with a professional. Too little RAM can lead to slow load times and decreased performance, while too much RAM can be wasted resources.

When you’re selecting a WordPress hosting plan, make sure to ask your provider how much RAM they’re provisioning for you. They may be able to provide you with a ballpark figure, or they may be able to give you a more specific recommendation.

In any case, be sure to factor in the amount of RAM that your WordPress site will need when selecting a hosting plan.
