How much RAM does Kutt need?

Plan on 512 MB–1 GB for typical use; add headroom if you expect many concurrent users.

Can I run other things on the same VPS?

Yes — size the plan so Kutt plus your other workloads fit in RAM with room to spare.

Commerce

A modern, self-hosted link shortener.

Short links, custom domains and stats in a clean interface, with a REST API.

Kutt is a friendly shortener you can brand and host, with no per-link limits.

1
Provision a VPS
Choose a plan with room for your data as well as the app.
2
Install the stack
Install Node.js + PostgreSQL/Redis.
3
Deploy the application
Follow the project’s official install guide for your distribution.
4
Enable HTTPS
Serve it on your own domain behind a reverse proxy with a certificate.
5
Back it up
Schedule a database dump plus a copy of any uploaded files to an off-box location.

Give Kutt its own database user with rights only on its own schema.
Reverse-proxy Kutt and terminate TLS at the proxy so certificates are managed in one place.
Take a VPS snapshot before major upgrades so you can roll back cleanly.
Keep Kutt patched — most self-hosting incidents are unpatched software.
