VPS needed, and memory question
Hi
Looking for a well connected Dutch, Belgium, France, UK or Germany based host. I'm not going to resell, I just need a very reliable spot (with a long future ahead!) for the following:
- 1 dedicated IP-address (SSL needed for 1 https domain, mostly for my private mail and that of some friends and relatives).
- private root-owned VPS, no snooping by admins etc.
- for now only around 7 GB storage (preferably on a 10000RPM or faster HDD)
- 6 GB traffic a month now, has peaks up to 10 GB.
I will have to run PHP, MySQL4 or 5 (for only 2 databases, and never more than 4 in total later on), and (my own version of) Squirrelmail, postfix, dovecot, apache httpd. I have about 4 www domains, not many more, for this server. Some extra sub-domain doc-roots and that'll be it.
All on Fedora Core 4 or 5, or CentOS.
Webmin and SSH are all I need. No controlpanels.
Not sure how much memory is needed for this. Any advice on this is appreciated. I never needed a VPS before, and the RAM looks very low on most VPS offers I see, is that enough?
Also, I rarely read about optional bypass on NAT or DMZ for the VPS, how does that generally work? Hardware firewalled would be best I guess, so there's no DDoS on your VPS.
If the specs are good I can pay in advance, around €300 for 3 years (including VAT/BTW).

Thanks in advance.Last edited by bear; 01-01-2007 at 08:31 AM.

try a2b2.com. they have UK located VPS.
I host with them and they seem to be good.
you can have unmanaged, semi managed or managed vps.
i would recommend 256mb ram.
(the prices aren't bad either )

Sorry, they are too expensive for my needs. I'm currently running the above mentioned from home-based servers. I need something that equals the freedoms I have now, and saves me the electrical and hardware replacement bill, plus maybe some worries and time.
Electricity is around €10 a month, hardware-cost would be around €1000 spread over five years time.
I'd say 300 euros in 3 years should be more than enough to pay for what I need.Last edited by marsepein; 12-31-2006 at 04:51 PM.

For a reliable VPS your going to need to increase your budget significantly.
Less than £7UKP a month will NOT get a reliable provider.
If thats your budget forget about VPS and go for a shared account.Ultra High Performance UK VPS without compromise.

And reiteration: I have a lot of personal experience working with and for hosters, I've managed and still manage other people's co-located and/or dedicated servers here in The Netherlands (and some in Belgium and Germany), and I have no reason to believe Navid's VPS will disappoint me for my personal use. Up until now it's been the fastest server I've ever used, both connectionwise and service-wise. Navid is NOT overselling, and for an unmanaged VPS he's doing quite a lot of managing.Last edited by marsepein; 01-01-2007 at 01:04 PM.
