Looking for a VPS to learn server manegment
hello respected members.
i have interest to learn server management / development and looking for some suggestion in what to buy and what not to buy.

my budget will be $3-$6 per month
also where can i find a good teacher who can teach me A-Z on how to manage a server.
a thanks in advance for those who spent their valuable time to post here or read this tropic.

Your best option is to get a small VPS from lowendbox.com and start learning yourself.
There are TONS of articles. Get an unmanaged VPS, try to do things yourself, if something breaks reinstall the VPS.

It is free. I have one and i recommend to all ppl that want to learn.
It is rather slow but you dont need to move fast, right ?
If you want to learn more about virtualization and stuff, read here:
http://board.prometeus.net/viewtopic...9519d4a7f8c05c
Something about security:

All are very low level and are going well with the free server

Can you specify the companies that these belong to? We want you to choose a reliable company. I know this is only for learning purposes, but you still dont want it to be constantly down.

to learn you need a small one as wont be much load, just the services.
So try the links i gave you, first one is linking to a free VPS with 128 MB.

Make sure you get enough RAM to run any programs you might want to try out. 128MB is good for a lot of things, but not I would go for something bigger if you're going to be learning and testing.
Unless, of course, your goal is to learn how to run a very minimized VPS!██ RamNode - High Performance Cloud VPS
