Try ElectrumX by me, it's way more lightweight:

Looks good but If using the known Electrum Server will make me use  8Gb RAM , 200GB SSD , 2 CPUs VPS as mentioned above by mocacinno then how much ElectrumX is supposed to take ?
3GB RAM is ample. 40GB of disk space should give enough to last another year or two of blockchain growth. The current dB is a little under 20GB.  Dual core is perfect - python only uses one core in general.

I guess I'm missing something then , isn't the blockchain size 60gb++ size at the moment ? how come I will be downloading a database of 20gb only ? what does the electrum database contains exactly
