I did the same with about 5 WP sites and another 5 custom sites running on DO at 512 (it's now on 2gb). One of the custom sites gets about 15,000 pageviews per day, and APC with memcache seem to handle WP on Apache fairly well for now. If you document your setup I would be interested; I tried to get nginx running on another droplet but lost patience. I'm sure I could have done it, but it was lower on the list ;)
* It made sense traffic/memory wise to go to 2gb, but all of the sites are 'behind' cloudflare and that seems to help a lot as the server rarely starts breathing hard...
- BobVerg 13y ago15,000 pageviews per day == just 10-20 views per minute. Very low load actually.
- mipapage 13y agoYeah, most of these happen during a small window when Latin America is in school. In any case it is a small load, but we moved from a shared host setup where we had these old sites sitting and they were beginning to bring down the server. They weren't into installing APC or Memcached; we were able to handle the traffic on the 512mb server using Apache, Cloudflare, APC and Memcached and the sites are faster (also using Google's pagespeed module). I've upped the server memory now, mostly because the WP admin is slow and the cost is still much less than we were paying before...
