What can a 128mb RAM VPS do?
Was just interested with what a 128mb RAM can do? I know for a fact that it can be used to host websites.. But what else?
I mean can this be used for seedbox? VPN?
I honestly dont have an idea of its purpose other then hosting it for websites, well im also really not quite that sure if a 128mb ram is indeed enough to host a website..

Another one of these threads.
Someone must do a FAQ or kinda...
IRC, VPN, proxy, maybe torrents, DNS, monitoring other boxes, learning.
Web site, vpn, flash streaming server, lots of awesome things
@yomero well if you list down all the things you know that can be used for a 128mb ram then i will proceed on making a faq for this yeah?
@jarland flash streaming server --- is this leb enough though? I dont think so?
I have been running FreeVPS.us on a 96mb VPS from ServerDragon/ddosprotect.us since October. It ran fine with 64mb ram, but I upgraded to the 96mb plan because it was cheaper than just buying extra disk space, and I wanted to be able to install updates without stopping the php and mysql first.
On 1 128mb kvm VPS I have:
2 VPNs (pptp and openvpn), authoritative dns, proxies (ssh -D) and 1 ovz vps for my 2 vpn's dns resolver
@Simple3x Yep crtmp totally works on 128mb with plenty to spare.
You may view older lowendbox tutorials.
@dmmcintyre3 cool
@jarland good idea. Thanks mate.
Most i put on an 128 (in the same time):
3 types of VPN (OpenVPN, PPTP, Squid)
1 small forum (phpbb) and mail server
1 teamspeak server (max 30 or so users, most of the time below 10)
All the other prerequisites (btw, was LAMP :P)
It had no problems, at times was below 50 MB usage.
Unlike other people, I am not particularly interested on how much i can cram in a small space, at today prices I prefer to pay 50 cents more for 128 than 64 and get more space, more cpu and more traffic.
crtmpd very low memory. can fit even 32mb.
edit: also try icecast and ices for streaming music
@Maounique wow i bet your vps is crying if it was a horse, isn't that too overloaded?
I mean you run it all on a single leb?
On one of my VPSs to go from 96mb to 128mb the price would go from $38.99/year to $8.99/month.
thats expensive for 128mb
udp flood
It's DDOS protected ;P
OP, freevps.us is a MyBB forum, so it's actually a pretty intensive site as LEBs go.
Hey guys, so is a 128mb ram enough for a VPN service?
With plain OpenVPN or PPTP, more than enough.
What can't a 128mb RAM VPS do?
Plenty.
I'm running openvpnas which is using less than that.
@TheHackBox Like how many users can it accommodate?
Any VPS will be able to do VPN as long as you have some traffic left.
You can do a tunnel with ssh/putty and use it as a socks proxy. Most come with openssh already installed, so you wont need to even login at the CLI.
@Nick_A Haha, sounds like you've had a good evening.
Ha, just speaking from past experience.
Minecraft.
Webhosting
Run Windows.
I run PPTP on a 32MB VPN from ServerDragon.
A 50mb could do this :
