 * Hi guys! I have a nasty problem, my website is powered by wordpress 4.0 + woocommerce
   2.2.6.
 * I have 21700 product over there and the DB is **334mb** size, is it normal? I’m
   pretty sure something is very wrong.
 * If it’s ok, what vps hosting should I get? Because 1cpu 2166mhz + 512 ram is 
   really slow.
 * Thanks! =)

 * That seems reasonable. Check for spam comments and such too as they can consume
   significant space. The size of the database is not directly related to how powerful
   your VPS needs to be. If you are unsure of what you need find a managed hosting
   provider and send them your requirements.

 * Thanks for answer. Nope, not the comments. All the data is in wp_posts (118mb)
   and wp_postmeta (154mb).
 * Mysqld process consumes 80% of the ram, so it’s defintely it.
 * Any other ideas, please?
