Slicehost / xen hosting size

[Steve Phariss]

Web Traffic is pretty low, about 50M a day,  Plus about 2G/mo for email and
other traffic.  I would need some sort of control panel (webmin perhaps) as
well.

I am thinking the 256 plan should work from a traffic perspective, but,
would it be enough for the apps?
