    Oke,

    It's hard to predict.

    What's with your blog? What plugins, etc?

    I have my own VPS and I had to upgrade the RAM for my server the other day just because one of my WP installation had some heavy plugins on it, and it was eating up most of my server's RAM.

      Thanks for your reply. I plan installing very basic pluggins, not more than 5-10. Very basic things.

        Yea Chris is right, about what he had mentioned too. The best thing to do is, monitor it.

        If one of your sites are getting too much traffic, eventually, it's going to be a problem too. Are you going to host it just for demonstrating the website which is built to be flipped?

    The others are right, it's about utilization on the server, not a specific number of sites.

    Here's the thing... you'll be able to install enough of them that you can start making money.

    If your blogs are making money, you can get another hosting account... they are less than 10 bucks a month - if you have blogs that aren't making that much, dump them!

    What's the point in having them running if they aren't making money, right? If they ARE making money, then it's no biggie to drop another $10/month on hosting.

    All success,

    Gary

    I think I now have a fair idea. Is there any indicator to know how much memory I have used?
