Need help with setting up VPSs
You guys seem to talk about VPS servers alot, well, Im planning on setting up a hosting company that specialises in cloud VPS servers.
I need to know how to setup VPS/VDS servers, anyone who gives me a solution that works will recieve a lifetime of free hosting when the company gets up.
The free hosting wont be bad either, it's got 100Gb of disk and unmetered bandwidth, Also runs a choice of over 20 Operating Systems, and remote desktop access.
So please help me out.
Thanks
Thanked by 1Radi

@joooooooo To start a hosting company you need to understand all aspect regarding server,network, and tools for server management.
As your new i will suggest you to first learn hosting basics and on other side you can start as a reseller by doing this you will understand how to deal with clients,how to handle support tickets and lot of things.
And on the other hand if you will get in depth than you can learn how to setup vps and other cloud related services.
All the best.
I know hosting basics, I already looked it up, I just need a solution for VPS servers.
@Navyn
@Navyn I also have a friend that owns a hosting company and I helped him set it up, and thats what I plan to be, a reseller, I already own a cloud from rackspace.
Hello? Anyone online?
Let the summerhosting begin!
Seriously though @Joooooooo , let me ask you a few questions below to verify your research. If you are not able to answer them either out of knowledge, or with very little Googling (a little is allowed!) then you should brush up on further research before venturing into starting a company!
Basics (*nix commands):
Q: What is any one purpose of the
ddcommand?Q: What is the command to install software on CentOS/RHEL/Fedora?
Q: What is the command to install software on Debian/Ubuntu?
Basics (terminology / software):
Q: What is
KVMreally? What aboutSolusVM?Q: What is
cPanelreally? What aboutApache HTTPd?Q: What is
WHMCSand how much does it cost a month?Intermediate (hardware):
Q: What is the minimum amount of hard drives (or SSDs) required in a Dedicated Server to host Virtual Private Servers, accounting for performance and reliability? (hint: not 1)
Q: What is the maximum amount of RAM that an E3-1270v3 can handle? What about the maximum frequency of RAM this processor can handle? Can an E3-1270v3 take Registered ECC RAM?
Intermediate (terminology):
Q: What does
95th percentilemean when talking about network speed or bandwidth?Q: How long would it take to transfer a 1GB file across a 100Mbps port? (lab conditions)
Each question has a very simple answer, and a more complicated answer. There are multiple 'correct' answers to each question, so just go with what your heart says is correct.
Some questions you will not know the answer to, but that is fine; because you should know what to Google to get the answer in a few seconds. If you do not, then there's the problem right there.
Sure
The dd command reads the InFile parameter or standard input, does the specified conversions, then copies the converted data to the OutFile parameter or standard output. The input and output block size can be specified to take advantage of raw physical I/O.
And to download it would b Sudo wget, to install it would be, to my knowledge, yum.
RPM Is the way of installing things onto debian/ubtuntu
A KVM Is a Kernel based Vitual Machine, a SolusV Is a VPS management thingy xD
cPanel is a web-based webserver control panel that offers users full access to there webserver, And not sure what Apache HTTPd Is. Sorry.
WHMCS or (WHMComplete Solution) Offers automated server setups after purchase. It costs wheather you have branded or non branded, non branded is $18/mo, branded is $15/mo.
For reliability, to my knowledge. you need about 4x1000Gb SSDs
An E3-1270v3 can handle 32Gb, although I prefer to use E5's. And yes, Xeon E3-1270v3 can take registered ECC RAM.
Not surewhat 95Th percentile is. but I think basically the traffic you use is monitored and divided by in/out to work out 95%.
And 1Gb file over a 100MBPS Port, it would depend on your uplink (or downlink) as a port does not mean that much.
Although, The answer would be 10.240 seconds.

@HardCloud
Thanks
By the way I did No googling at all in this.
@Joooooooo please be serious and stop trolling
Im being serious @jcaleb. This is not a troll.
Oh god, this topic makes me want to cry
That wasnt a threat. I didnt mean it to be a threat either.
Oops
Congratz you just learned to use Google!
Did you read that?
@DarioX ^
Be sure to tells us what "company" you have started with the url for you website, so I can bookmark it on my "never to be used" folder.
Why do you want to start a hosting business when you don't know how? I'm sure it's the hope for some quick cash. But really, you can't run a hosting business there you actually charge money from your customers...
/me gets popcorn.
Oh, I guess I have no choice but believing you now.
The moment when I saw a summer host that couldn't differentiate between bits and bytes.
See, this is why I gave the questions, so we could all tell the legitimacy
.
Sorry I have a habit of saying 'Gb' instead of 'GB'
btw, you've missed out the 'yum'my out there
any new questions? This could be quite useful for future summer hosts to come
Really? All I asked for was a type of software I could use to setup VPS servers, I have a friend that does the main stuff, I manage the billing and making of the website, e' wanting to know a good software for VPS servers.
I'm writing an online quiz right now, I'll be posting it in providers soon as an open aptitude test to all providers and clients alike, that can post/share their score without means of editing it after taking the test
.
Almost done the proof of concept now.
Yay, now LET offers VPS provider certification for free!
Guys, Any suitable software for setting up VPS servers? Gimme the answer and i'll leave you lot alone.
What a retarded question.. :rolleyes:
beggars belief
This type of shit could make a cpanel/whm certification look more respectable than a mc donald's gold star (takes some doing)..
@MuZo LOL
Just the thing for the OP. You will get rich there.
8 bits = 1 byte
100mbps = 12,5 MB/sec
1GB = 1024 MB
1024 MB / 12,5 = 81,92 secs
81,92 secs = guess ?
A very complex equation. Yep...
