And if you're working with such a limited server, be sure to tune down your httpd binary: a) throw out all modules from the configuration that you do not need (and there are normally only a few modules which are really needed in day to day use) b) watch your server while it is running and try to find a working balance for you regarding max-clients (too few and you'll lock people out, too many and your system will start swapping and be generally unresponsive to http requests).
