Hi, I am new to Elasticsearch and trying to figure out the hardware specs that'll be enough for my usage.  
I have around 100k rows in a mysql table which I'll map with elasticsearch index,  
text search was good enough in mysql but I was facing problem with sorting & pagination and that's why decided to go for elasticsearch.

For hosting I'm going for a VPS.  
please let me know your thoughts & recommendations.
