Running multiple Docker containers on a VPS

[OliviaBennet]

I'm moving a small development environment from shared hosting to a VPS. I want to run several Docker containers: a web application, a database, Redis, and a reverse proxy.

I'm looking at configurations around 4 vCPU, 8 GB RAM, and 120 GB NVMe. My budget is approximately $25–30 per month.

I've noticed HostPro.com while comparing available VPS plans. Does 8 GB RAM sound comfortable for this setup, or would it be better to start with 16 GB? I'm not expecting heavy traffic, but I'd like to avoid running out of memory when rebuilding containers or performing updates.

Reliable hosting usually comes down to several factors, including uptime, regular backups, server monitoring, and good technical support.

Running your own server is useful when you need to configure Nginx, Apache, PHP-FPM, database services, or custom application dependencies independently. HostPro.com KVM-based VPS solutions provide a flexible server environment with NVMe storage, and their technical support is available around the clock.
