It's good to see that Niftyhost is back in the business.
I'm a bit worried about the provider of the VPS. I have made a research about the company "EaseVPS" on Google. The reviews I have found were quite old though so I think the problems that EaseVPS had back then are gone. At least I hope that everything is going to be well with EaseVPS. If something should go wrong I have a page full of providers which could be quite useful for Niftyhost (*search for more sponsors*). Is Jacob from EaseVPS here, actually? Or how have you got that deal? LEB/LET (Lowendbox/talk)?
It's a OpenVZ VPS with the kernel 2.6.18 :(. This OpenVZ-kernel is horrible and pretty old. The memory management is extremely & insanely bad. Atleast you have a decent amount of RAM. You could save a lot of memory when the VPS would have the newer OpenVZ-kernel 2.6.32 which has a great memory management. The current kernel can be very very trick and dangerous.
My ultra crappy low-end hardcore oversold free VPS with Nginx:
Only 5MB RAM used with a proper Nginx configuration (Debian 6 tweaked). But meh, take a look at how bad the VPS actually is: http://freevps.us/thread-4855.html and if you want I can show you even more magic. A nice script made by the FreeVPS staffs that runs Nginx, MySQL & PHP with PHP-FPM and uses less than 100MB RAM on a VPS/dedicated server.
