Looking for: Xen/KVM VPS, Custom ISO, High RAM
Hi all!
Looking for a VPS for a Minecraft server, with four primary requirements:
-4GB ram minimum (More preferred!)
-XEN or KVM (No OpenVZ)
-Ability to load a custom ISO (MineOS CRUX, a distro specifically built for running minecraft servers)
-US based (Chicago preferred, but anywhere reliable will work)
On the other side of things:
-Don't need much storage space (20 gigs would be plenty, I already have a backup solution)
-Wouldn't need many cores (4 would do it; Minecraft is singlethreaded but Bukkit makes use of multithreading. Plus I'm looking to run a Mumble server)
-Only 1 IP needed
-No management needed
-Bandwidth won't be high at first but is expected to grow over time... 100mbps and 1TB per month should be more than enough for a very long time.
Given those things, basically looking to go for as much RAM as I can fit in my budget of about $50/month. Am I dreaming on the ram requirements at that price?
Any help would be appreciated! Thanks in advance!Last edited by Darkhand; 09-01-2011 at 03:14 PM.

I had a look in the offers section, lowendbox etc, you can probably get 2GB ram for that price no problem but I seriously doubt you will get 4GB for $50, RAM is usually the limiting factor in XEN and KVM (especially on SolusVM) you MAY find a Host that does not use SolusVM that will offer that price but the chances are the RAM will be oversold and your right back to where you started with your (No OpenVZ)█ -> INCEPTION HOSTING LIMITED Since 2010!

After checking it out and some deliberation, I've signed up for Bitcable's Yotta service at Amar's recommendation... if he's a customer he deserves a referral bonus. Thanks all! We'll see how it goes!

I would recommend bitcable any day of the week. Excellent vps and the initial contact with Preetam portrayed the support as pretty good.
