Before starting please note that in order to efficiently operate a WordPress site a set of minimum requirements regarding hardware, based on our experience is needed to be fulfilled:

• Disk space/Storage: 512 MB
• RAM: 512 MB
• Processor (CPU): 1-core, 1-thread

The above is the minimum hardware requirements we recommend. Please note this does not mean that in any case and under heavy traffic the above setup would suffice ( it will not actually) rather than it is a starting point to mainly test WordPress.
