Today, my VPS was finally upgraded to a much higher plan. I requested the upgrade a couple of days ago, but sad to say there weren’t any available resources for the upgrade so I had to wait a while. Well, this morning I was so glad the the upgrade was finally done. 
The reason I decided to have an upgrade is I wanted to add integrate Tomcat with Apache and a VPS with just 128MB of RAM isn’t enough. Since my VPS also hosts a couple of PHP website, MySQL, and mail and DNS services, adding Tomcat on top of it just pushes my VPS to its limits and the allocated resources are all consumed until I hit the wall. So I upgraded to the next VPS plan which gives me 256MB of RAM and additional CPU resources. I know that this isn’t much but for just a simple server I’ll used for java pet projects I think it would be enough.
Well, cost-wise I think adding a couple of hundred bucks would definitely be worth every penny considering that I’ll have my own Java Application Server to play with and improve my competence with my chosen field of work.
