Basically i wish to make a pool as well(not that there arent many out there). But all i can afford at the moment is a VPS with 1GB of memory. 2TB of traffic per month, will be located in the US(somewhere)
The problem here is that i can afford only one, which would mean Apache,MySQL,Pushpoold,blkmond and BitcoinD must all be there cuddling in each other.

Any problems with that? I am not looking at competing with a big pool, but at least 60gh/s at the moment will be nice for it to handle.

I think it could handle it, I haven't checked how much BitcoinD uses but can't imagine much more than smaller spikes as it holds blockchain in ram to process. Apache and SQL can be installed pretty lightweight. I was about to say traffic would probably be the biggest issue but 2TB is a plentiful amount until you start hitting deepbit size (even then that's probably only gigs).

Actually btcguild use ~4,5TB of traffic per month and they do around 150 gigs per day, but that is for ~2TH. At 60 gh/s i think it would not be that much, and in the event it might not be enough i will try to add more quota.

And i am not much worried about ram, as i am about CPU time. I have no idea what kind of CPU time all the stuff will take up and what lags i might expect.

I had a feeling they used a lot, didn't know any numbers though. I knew it made a getwork request per user every few seconds, and those can be like a kilobyte, so it adds up I guess.

4500 / 2000 = 2.25 GB/GHash * 60 Gh/s = 135 GB traffic? Cheesy
