Hi guys, I’m new to website hosting and want to start a forum. How much RAM is recommended for a beginner forum with a few hundred users? Would 1GB RAM be enough? Can I rely on Digitalcloud.pro vps hosting service? Others? I just want something stable and simple.
It all depends on which system will be used on the server, you will take a VPS or Shared Hosting, if you take a VPS, then which tool are you going to use. There are a lot of nuances here, and to tell you exactly how much RAM you will need, you need to provide more information.
One thing I can say for sure is that if it's a VPS, then take at least 3-4 GB. This should be enough for additional tools that you will definitely need.

If you're looking for something stable and simple, iWebFusion is a solid choice—they've been around since 2001, own their own hardware and network. Their EPYC VPS lineup comes with fast NVMe storage and 10Gbps ports, which gives your forum plenty of room to grow without breaking the bank. For a beginner forum, just pick a plan with at least 2GB RAM to start, and you'll be fine.
The VPS infrastructure from HostPro is interesting for running a separate application stack. With root access, you can choose your own web server, PHP version, database engine, caching layer, and monitoring tools instead of relying on predefined hosting settings. KVM virtualization, NVMe storage, and Tampa, Warsaw, and Amsterdam locations are available as part of the infrastructure.
The customer support is exceptional. If you have a question about any one of the web hosting service on their site, they have a friendly, dedicated team to get you answers fast.
