How much can I divide this dedicated server?

Hi, I'm planing to buy this server from Contabo to create my own windows VPS company:
Intel Xeon E5 2630v4 (20 x 2.20 GHz), 256 GB REG ECC RAM, Storage: As I need.
Just I want to know how that server can be divided? and what about 256 VPSs is that possible?

Thanks

    If you have no idea how virtualization works, perhaps you should try reseller packages instead.

    Well, for a start, buy that server, then clone 256x windows VPS on it and test out the performance. Budget in some r&d cost to test things out and tune the numbers from there. Dont expect to buy a server, fill it up with 256x vms and start making money the first month :P

    hhhhh okay I got it guys! that's not possible to be :( so how much can be I just need a specific answer

  • @LAVAL, your question alone is enough to show that you are not experienced enough to start this particular business. Please just stop and learn more before even attempting to enter this market.

    Point 1: Your dedicated server only has 256GB RAM so 256 VPSs (with 1GB RAM each) will leave no memory for your host OS or hypervisor.

    Point 2: 256 VPS on 20 threads leads us to almost 13 VPS per single thread! Once again, this is not even calculating any Ghz for the host OS or hypervisor.

    I could continue but I'll stop there.

    Just please don't! Learn more before making the leap.

    No one can give you an exact magic number. Too many factors involved, spend some money and try it yourself.

    You know what? You are so lazy to actually spend time on something that you want to turn into a business.

    Most of the guys here would likely suggest that you work as a techie for a hosting/VPS company. That way, you get a feel for the business and learn how an established company does things (in a manner that works).

    Also please take into consideration your storage... I have read posts from providers that say that the most limiting factor is usually the storage performance when you put too much vps on a single server. If I were to make an intelligent guess, I would say those specs would allow you to push about 40 to 60 vps if the conditions are right. You would be overselling 1 cpu thread per 3 vps if you reach 60 vpses...which might cause a slowdown if you have abusers... you'll really have to do a test first to see how it handles since I am no position to say otherwise

    @LAVAL, do you have the server yet? If yes, try it! If not, TRY IT! If you cant be bothered to test and learn fir yourself, it doesnt bode well for the future.

    I think he already bought a .com at Godaddy so backing out is not an option anymore, don't try to discourage him. Investments, you have to protect your investments.

  • Also, grant everyone the 1gbps UNMETERED FULL DUPLEX connection 24/7! Servers at Contabo offer this, after all! And everybody is idling these servers anyway, but just in case buy another cheap server but with 1gbps, and put this one in looking glass-site, then everyone can convince himself that 1gbps are delivered, for all 256 vps', always.

    don't forget about 256 windows licenses.. I'll expect those included at LET pricing.

    Try to install proxmox or solusvm and create 512mb ram vps as much as you can and monitor the resource usage
