This is offtopic but what should be size of the VM to handle HN's front page traffic. I know a lot of it depends upon whether the website is static or is backed by DB and on various different factors. But many a times some of my friends ask me questions like this.
To make it simple, lets take 2 very basic websites.
1. A ghost blog. (node.js)
2. A wordpress blog backed by a mysql db. (php)

I had a ghost blog on a micro instance of a german VPN, a machine with 256mb of ram and not too fast processing power. Both times I reached HN home page, in one case for some hours, it worked without issues and only a minor slowdown.
