The only problem with plans that low in ram... is you can't run anything but a few websites. OpenVPN uses over 100mb of ram, and it's running on the lowest plan I have with buyvm @ 256mb along with a webserver, mailserver, and znc server. I wouldn't use anything less than 256mb.... I don't want to have to have a different vps for every service I want to install.

Not true, you can run large websites too. I think 96mb was a good example until it started recieving floods I believe. FreeVPS is another example, it's run on less than 128MB RAM and look at how big it is. It's definately possible to do a lot of things, unless you're using specialist software like cPanel for example. But you can run the bits that make up cPanel and find alternatives and run them all in a small VPS.

I think @[coreymanshack] meant doing stuff other than running websites?

Like install cPanel AND THEN run websites? :p

No I meant like installing a VPN server, mail server... other servers than just a web server in addition to your web server. Of course you can run a quite large site if thats all you have running on a single one of these small ram servers.
