I have 4 Gb of ram and I am going to use minecraft hosted server with 2 GB ram, is this good for my Pc? Can it handle it? Here is my things: 58.76 Mbps downloaded
I'm slightly confused by your question. You stated you were going to use a "minecraft hosted server", then asked if it was good for your pc. I'm going to work off of the assumption that you're hosting on your PC.
It boils down to how many players you are expecting to play, and if you want to add plugins. I'm going to assume this is a small vanilla server for 5-10 people. In which case, I would recommend 10mbps (megabits, which = 1.25 megabytes per second) for a solid experience for yourself and your players. However, I'd be re-missed if I didn't recommend using another pc in your house that can be dedicated completely to the server. You didn't provide your CPU details or how much HDD space you have, so this is my best guess with what you have right now.
So, to answer your question, I'm not sure about your upload speed, but 2GB of RAM should suffice.

Honestly, RAM isn't super important for a minecraft server's performance. Your CPU might end up being what will be the most important, especially it's single core performance. That said, if you're confident about all your other hardware pieces, yes, 2GB of RAM will be enough to host a server, for a handful of friends to play on and such.

You are 100% wrong. RAM is needed for player slots, plugins, mods, and anything like that, CPU matters, yes, but Ram for a server is extremely important. Anyway, 2gb is good for a server with 25 slots with 30 plugins, give or take a few. It is good for about 10-17 mods with 10 slots. Mods take a lot more ram then plugins

To be fair, I'm not completely wrong. RAM needed for servers isn't more of a magic fix-all type deal. In fact, after a certain point, throwing more gigs of ram onto a server isn't going to affect performance at all. Generally, unless you're having problems because of too low RAM (, giving more RAM to the server won't help solve lag at all. For example, take a look at these two screenshots. One is a htop of the server, and one is a /gc. htop shows the CPU usage of a server, whilst /gc shows the JVM informations with currently 40 players and 42 plugins.
htop output. Notice the CPU usage vs. RAM.
/gc output from the same server
As you can see, even at 40 players online, only 3GB of RAM are even allocated to the JVM, and only about 2GB are being used. Meanwhile, 85% of the E3 1245V2 is used. Keep in mind that this is a dedicated server, and so steal time is at 0.0 (I didn't include it in the images, but top suggests this).
Minecraft servers do consume a large amount of CPU. That said, this CPU usage is almost extensively on one core, as the game's loop for game calculations and such, such as mob movement, etc. are all run on one thread. RAM is not useless on minecraft; far from it. That said, a lack of RAM will not cause as many problems as a lack of processing power.
You can run a spigot server on 512mb ram for at least 5 players (if you have a good cpu), only having problems after you install a lot of ram-hogging plugins.

Your pc will be fine if the server was 5mb or 8gb, but the server might lag - when you break a block, it might disappear and reappear again. This has nothing to do with your pc, if you can play minecraft with no framerate issues, you can play on a server with no framerate issues

uploaded 0.93 Mbps and 10 ping.

You can use this website as a reference as well

If you have very few plugins, then yeah.
