Im running different servers and the memory usage seems to be constant
around 50 MB and normally the cpu usage is nearly flat zero. Normally
you just need around 10 GB HDD capacity.

If you dont intent to provide dumps there is probably nothing else to
worry about. There are of course sometimes a lot of requests coming
through the pool, or sometimes a bigger load of new / updated keys but
these are pretty rare experiences. 

In other words, a pretty default VServer should be fine.
