MySQL Config Files for GB of RAM VPS
Find your best settings for your MySQL config file. Whatever VPS provider you are using it is essential you optimize your MySQL.
I was struggling to configure the config files on VPS on Digital Ocean and I found some examples of config files for different type of RAMs on VPS.
Config Samples: https://github.com/t0rik/mysql-configs-samples
For example if you have a 1 GB VPS on Digital Ocean this is a good config file for that droplet.
