Getting a VPS
Hello folks,
Am planning to get a VPS. I will mainly use it as Teamspeak3 server under NPL, I do expect between 50-100 users at once. I will be installing Linux CentOS 6 32bit with LAMP and no control panel.
Most of my clients are from Europe and Middle East.My budget is pretty tight, Iam welling to spend less than $15 a month.
I found two hosts so far: Hetzner and IntoVPS. Both offers 512Mb of guaranteed RAM and only IntoVPS offers burstable up to 1GB.
Do you think it's enough to run TS3 with this expected quote of users ?
Regards,,,

In Europe you have a lot of reputable providers offering budget plans with solid hardware plenty of resources and good networks for under $15. IMO it is more a matter of first define the requirements and then find the provider.
You will only find out how good a provider is when the going gets tough

A lot of providers can cover your requirements. IntoVPS are good though, we host our master solusvm server with them.

I wouldn`t know of the top of my head, its really just a case of seeing how it perfoms with different amounts of users and keeping an eye on it. One of the joys of having a VPS is upgrading and downgrading resources easily

Well, the Teamspeak web site says this about system requirements:
TeamSpeak 3 Server - Linux
- A reasonably modern Linux environment with libstdc++6. In addition, TeamSpeak 3 requires the epoll API which was introduced in Linux kernel 2.5.44. Support was added to glibc in version 2.3.2. Note that Linux distributors may provide packages which have different requirements.
- Intel Pentium III, AMD Athlon XP, or any newer CPU (recommended: 800 MHz or faster)
- 128 MB of system memory (recommended: 512 MB or more)
- 5 MB of disk space
- Internet connection
So find a VPS that meets those requirements.

If no one can answer your question here... try TS forum.

Having severs with customer data on it without proper monitoring is like having one night stand without using protections - eventually, there will be an 'oh s**t!' moment.

Hint: get a VPS and run some tests. Most of the providers have a money back guarantee policy. This way you actually risk nothing and can have a test VPS for free .
If it doesn't work - ask for a refund. If it works but you haven't decided yet - ask for a refund.
(assuming there's a money back guarantee for whatever reason you're asking the refund)

Maybe get that VPS, see the load when users are on it and decide if you have to upgrade or not?

LOL
But anyway... CentOS + LAMP assuming you don't know how to optimise it and I assume as your installing a LAMP stack your going to actually use it so there is 300MB straight away.
100 TS3 Users @ 0.6MB per slot = 60 MB
TS3 itself 128 MB
Even assuming you do literally nothing else on the server that's 488 MB
That's not leaving yourself very much room at all and heaven forbid a few people hit up your site at the same time.
I would suggest you would have a much more stable environment having with either a 768 - 1024 MB Server or better still 2 x 512's█ -> INCEPTION HOSTING LIMITED Since 2010!
