RAM requirements

Quote:RAM doesn´t cost that much.

For virtual Server, RAM is the most expensive thing and not every Hoster gives u the poibility to upgrade only the RAM, so u have to upgrade the whole package, which is quite "expensive"

Yes that´s right. But make only sense on low traffic sites.
We can talk here hours around that topic

In most cases modify the config to set more RAM free OR give your Server more RAM.

Thats why i said, he can run some low traffic websites ;P

if you want to get a long with low ram requirements,
just switch of fastcgi and turn on mod_php.
This will save you a lot of ram at the cost of security.
But this can maybe be ignored if you're using the server exclusively and only with few domains. (< 10-20)

50 MB RAM for a WebServer mit PHP, MySQL-Server, FTP-Server, MailServer and DNS Server ? Come on...

He was only about Plesk itself... not the "rest" of the server.
