I'm planning to move an OpenCart store with around 40,000 products to a VPS. The catalog has filters, search, regular imports from 1C, and around 2–3 thousand visitors per day.

I'm looking at hostpro.com because their KVM VPS plans offer dedicated resources and root access, which would give me more control over the server configuration. I'm particularly interested in whether a VPS with NVMe storage and enough RAM would make a noticeable difference for OpenCart search and database performance.

Would you start with something like 4–8 vCPUs and 16 GB RAM, or is that overkill for this kind of store? I'd also appreciate recommendations for other providers with similar plans.
