    Question Vps to host SolusVM Master on

    The title about sums it up, could anyone recommend a decent vps host to host a SolusVM Master panel on? I'd prefer a recommendation from someone who is hosting a SolusVM Master on a vps already if possible.

    6sync's $15/mo plan is perfectly suitable.

    I personally think a low end dedi is better to host the master on, At least it'll not be in a shared environment then.

    I'll second 6sync; when I offered Xen a while ago through a different business, we used them, and they were incredibly reliable. You honestly can't fault their service or uptime levels, and paying $15/mo is reasonable given the peace of mind they give.

    Our master is hosted through racksrv.com, been using them for 4 years without any downtime.

    A little more expensive that 6sync but not much.

    Thanks for the suggestions so far, any comments on Linode? I'm wondering if it's better to host it with Xen.

    If you want a choice of location (something that I don't believe 6sync offer at the moment, although I think they're looking into it again) other than East Coast, then they'll suit you fine. We use Linode for our main site, and they're rock solid in terms of reliability. Support is fairly swift with ~20min or so average response time.

    AFAIK 6sync use a mixture of Xen and KVM, although I think new customers are just being deployed on KVM.

    You can host it on the cloud like rackspace or at least get a XEN maybe in linode.

    I've hosted HyperVM and SolusVM inside a VPS and would suggest Xen HVM or KVM to anyone wanting to do it today.

    If your vps was big enough, that might be a good way to sell vps.

    Are you saying to host a VPS within the SolusVM Master VPS?

    They don't compile the OpenVZ kernel to run in Xen for nothing

    Ask your provider where you purchased your dedicated server. Incase they have VPS servers, they'll most likely provision you with a small VPS for your SolusVM master panel. Thats what we do atleast.

    You'd want to put it on a VPS. If things go wrong, you can quickly move it around to another node.

    Major I/O.

    It would be best to buy a dedicated then and install solusvm on it and then install solusvm on a vps created from that. You'd have more control of I/O.

    Funny you say that. How do you plan on creating a VPS from a SolusVM slave install?

    If you do manage to create it manually, I don't think you are going to have any flexibility. Primary purpose is lost.

    We have our Master for our XEN-HVM nodes on a HostDime VPS.

    Wouldn't it take ages to sync 10x 4-5 GB ISO files?

    Doesn't take long at all, the max ISO size we have is 2.8GB and both sides have 1 Gigabit Uplink's so that helps.

    VPS or Dedicated both just as easy to move/restore/backup, etc

    So, you are saying is not a good idea then? No. I haven't tried it yet and I was just wondering about it.

    Doesn't xen-in-xen end up just doing passthrough so nested vm's behave like normal vm's

    I can create an image snapshot of a dedicated server and re-provision it elsewhere during an outage?

    I can do that with a virtual server Does not even have to be in the same data-center. Dedicated servers, you'll have problems with device drivers, network settings, etc.
