VPS specification requirements
Permalink
Will be adding a Concrete5 installation to a customer's network. Assume less than 100 pages and very low traffic. They will be providing a VPS and have asked for spec requirements. They would prefer Microsoft technologies even within the VPS (i.e. Windows 10, but hopefully not IIS and SQLServer).
What would be a reasonable spec for the VPS?

Thanks PineCreativeLabs,
No other application, and I agree many applications run best with Linux (LAMP versus WAMP, etc), but it would still make them feel better if the VPS client still runs WIndows.. In regards to PHP 5.6 versus PHP 7, upload buffer size, etc, that would still be a VPS configuration issue.
What are the specifications for the VPS to host such a site? Hard drive size would be one. What about others?
Thanks!

The number CPUs might be another factor to consider. These should be unlocked (or have this option).
So, I would suggest the following:
1 CPU
2 GB RAM
100 Mbps Transfer speed
10 GB disk space
The windows hosting will of course need PHP. The bare minimum version required for Concrete 5.8 and newer is PHP 5.3.11 - although most web hosts offer much newer versions.
Using PHP 7 seems best, since it is much faster.

Thanks PineCreativeLabs. This was exactly what I was looking for.

If anything, I suggest making sure it has PHP 7. You can always specify this in a .htaccess file, though.
Also, I advise making the PHP file upload size at least 64 MB, although 128 or more is best. As for bandwidth - I recommend a minimum of 1 GB, and at least the same for disk space.
I have used a VPS before, so you should have the flexibility of changing the minimum specs anyway.
