Server Hardware specification for small setup

Question

Hi,

I would like to set up a server for a small company with between 2 and 5 concurent users. What would be the specs for an Odoo server (with Postgres on the same server) ?

I am thinking of using a hosted Virtual Private Server with 2 core, 2Gb RAM, and 25Gb HD: would that be enough ?
(I realise the hard drive size depends on data, I am asking more about the rest)

I found it difficult to find information about Odoo v8: no documentation and not even a specifications note for the server ! Not

This presentation [1] from the last open days might help with some generic hardware sizing information (e.g. at slide 9). For a couple of users any recent multi-core server / VPS with 4GB+ RAM should be enough. RAM is cheap so if your hosting doesn't give you at least 4GB for a very low price, just find a better one.

You might also consider the Odoo Online hosting, where the hardware is taken care of for you.

Hardware sizing is much more complicated than it seems. There is basically no minimum

Hi Froggy.
For a start, the server you chose is well. But do not forget that your server needs to be scalable, as users data increase over time.
Otherwise, you can opt for the VPS Cloud 2 OVH. Look at the link below.

Thanks Chancerel however the link does not help much: OVH has a wide range offer and I still need to pinpoint one offer !
