I run a small WHMCS install for a handful of clients from South Dakota, and the current shared setup is starting to show its limits during invoice runs. Nothing fancy here — just a handful of cPanel accounts and a couple of addons. I'm looking at moving to a budget VPS instead, but I'm not sure where to draw the line on specs. Some hosts push 1 GB RAM plans, others say 2 GB minimum just for PHP and MySQL to stay comfortable. I also worry about disk I/O during cron jobs and whether a cheap control panel is worth the tradeoff. I'd rather not get stuck migrating twice. If you've moved a similar-sized WHMCS install to a budget VPS, what RAM, storage type, and panel did you settle on, and what would you do differently?
