RunOnVPS sizing suggestion

Suggested VPS tier

2 GB RAM tier

This is our sizing suggestion, derived from changedetection.io’s recommended RAM of 2GB. It is not an official requirement and it does not guarantee that every workload, plug-in set or media library will fit comfortably.

This placeholder intentionally has no URL or affiliate ID in the Day 2 build.

Deployment
