Laravel VPS sizing is more than running PHP. Web requests use PHP-FPM, long jobs use queue workers, cache/session can use Redis and persistent data lives in MySQL/PostgreSQL. They can start on one VPS but bottlenecks should be monitored separately.
There is no fixed number. A small Laravel API/web app can start around 2–4 GB, while database, Redis, queues and Composer builds on the same host may favor 4–8 GB or more. Measure actual PHP-FPM and queue usage.
Do not let long-running jobs compete directly with web-request processes.
Values are starting points; measure actual traffic and queue load.
Keep backup and rollback plans before production deployment.

Ubuntu, AlmaLinux or Debian can work; PHP, panel and deployment compatibility matter.
Yes for small/mid workloads; monitor CPU/memory as worker count grows.
No, but it can improve cache, session and queue architectures.
Share PHP version, database, Redis, queue workers and traffic; we can plan Linux VPS capacity.
