*There are no charges for overage. We will permanently restrict the connection speed to 10 MBit/s if more than 5000 GB/month are used. 100 MBit/s speed can be optionally restored by committing to pay 6,90 € (incl. VAT) per additional TB used.
We've been over the 5000 GB a few times without fasthost throttling the server.
But enough about that, you use whatever works out for you I can definitely understand the desire to have unlimited bandwidth, I'm just saying you might find a better deal elsewhere. I've heard good things about OVH in this regard: http://www.ovh.co.uk/products/superplan_...=unmetered
As an Open Source project you might be entitled to a free 30-day trial like Businesses get, there's no harm in asking.
I use a VPS with 4 vCores and 3GB RAM for myself and run Cherokee with php-cgi under the spawn-fcgi handler and I've never seen my memory usage top about 1.8GB and that was after about 4 months uptime. My primary client also has a VPS of the same spec and runs lighttpd on it, alongside several game servers, and although he would prefer more RAM (I'm moving to a 12GB server next year) it hasn't caused him any problems. Just two alternatives to Apache you might want to try. lighttpd is more familiar for Apache admins from what I can gather but I chose Cherokee because of its powerful built in memory cache.
