[Poll] Types of VPS

[Jedzkie]

What is the BEST type of VPS for you? and why?

 

[ossi0110]

none of this.... use a Dedicated ROOT ,   Shared VPS are shit

 

[Tranquility]

Depending on your needs, starting out with OpenVZ can be nice though.

If you find a reliable hosting company that doesn't oversell their services, else KVM could be nicer if you also plan to toy with making modifications/changing the kernel.

Once you're advancing forward, follow Ossi's advise and get an unmanaged server.

If I don't have budget for DS, I would go for openvz virtualization....

But be sure to be with good company, as there's risk, that hosting company might oversell their service.

 

[Anisotropic Defixation]

Dedicated, not even a question.

may I ask how much ram would be needed for a minimum vps? something like installing an emulator + beta testing the server less than 10 players will play

As said in the wiki

Hercules requires the following resources from the machine in order to function without problems or the common "Lag":

• 1.5 GHz or faster CPU, either Intel or AMD is acceptable. Some
  members have reported that they have gotten Hercules to run on other
  processors.
• 128 MB of RAM, MINIMUM. The map server in an idle state consumes about 76MB of RAM, depending on how many maps and NPCs are loaded (41mb when no NPCs are in use).
• A video card powerful enough to run the Operating System of
  your choice (or no video card at all). Hercules is a console based
  software, which means that all that is required to run it is a console
  or command access.
• Fast internet or network connection. This is very hard to
  predict. A lot of questions arise that ask 'how much bandwidth does
  Hercules need?'. There is no answer to that. It is all depending on how
  many characters are connected, from where, and what they do while
  connected to the server.
• 250MB of Hard Drive space or better, up-to gigabytes depending on how big the database may get.

I think it is for the personal machine not for vps

Ah, i tough 100MB ram was the same on vps or personal machine ^^

yes but I do have additional question which is if I going to install emulator + addons to run the server how much is needed hope I'm getting clear at this time

Hello.

this is quite interesting question..

but its always depends, what you need and what you can have (talking about price)

VPS openvz is lowcost good for starting how to learn and make it a public small server

while dedicated is good and better, you need to spend more $$ on this.. and for starters

this is not what u need.
