What a 2 vCPU · 2 GB VPS is
At this size there is no single bottleneck left — all four matter: CPU for the app, disk for the database, memory for the cache, network for your users. So read the overall score rather than any one number.
At 2 GB the project finally breathes: roughly 1519 MB of working memory holds the app, a database with 491 MB of buffers, and a cache. A shop with a couple of thousand SKUs lives here comfortably.
2 vCPU against 2 GB. Two threads let you separate background from foreground: while one is busy with a build or a backup, the other keeps serving users. That is 1 GB per core — a balanced, general-purpose configuration with no bias either way.
The table compares only 2 vCPU · 2 GB — nothing else is in it. That makes the numbers directly comparable: behind them is the same order placed at different companies. Confirm cost on the host's own site.
