What can you run on 2 GB of RAM?
2 GB is the practical minimum for a modern Linux server running a web stack. It runs Nginx with a small PHP or Node.js site, a WireGuard VPN, or a few light containers. Databases and anything Java-based will feel cramped, so add swap and keep an eye on memory use.
The cheapest memory in this group comes from Contabo, at $0.49 per GB of RAM per month. Across all 279 plans the median is $5.13 per GB. For the best balance of RAM, CPU and storage for the money, our pick is Contabo Cloud VPS 6 with 12 GB RAM and 6 vCPU at $7.20 a month.
