When you start a blog, one of the first things you need to do is choose a blogging platform. There are many different platforms to choose from, and each one has its own set of features and requirements.
Once you have chosen your blogging platform, the next step is to decide how much RAM your blog will need. RAM is short for random access memory.
It’s a type of memory that helps your computer keep track of open files and helps it run faster.
To determine how much RAM your blog will need, start by calculating the number of posts and comments you expect to make each month. Add that number to the number of GBs of storage space your blog platform allows for posts and comments (this number will be different for each platform).
That number is the amount of RAM your blog needs.
If you’re using a self-hosted blog platform, like WordPress, then you’ll need to add another 10-12GBs of storage space just for the blog itself. That means your blog will need at least 24GBs of RAM to operate smoothly.
If you’re using a hosted blog platform, like Tumblr or Blogger, then they’ll usually provide more than enough RAM for yourblogging needs.
However, if you experience slowdowns or errors when trying to load large files onto your blog or if you notice that your blog starts freezing or crashing regularly, then you may need more RAM. In that case, add an additional 8-16GBs of storage space for your blog files and increase yourblog’s RAM from 24GBs to 36-48GBs.
Remember: Your blog platform may have different requirements for RAM than yours does. So always check with them before making any changes to your blogging setup.
