[zwebx]

Amd Dual Core Opteron 2Ghz

2GB Ram
Dual 250GB Hard Drive
2TB of Bandwidth

instead of 2TB bandwidth i can get 10 mbps unlimited . what is more beneficial to making profit when reselling like fast speed or more bandwidth

I personally wouldn't put any on that system.

That server can handle maybe 2-4 at absolute most, assuming you have very low hard disk usage and very low RAM requirements (You'll only have about 1-1.5GB available for the VM's themselves).

This server just isn't designed for virtualization.

what about just shared hosting

[Jim K]

for shared hosting with whm/cpanel it is a good start for some customers.. It depends on how many you are going to host.. If you start now it is a good start

[mugo]

Let's put it this way, I had almost that exact same system I had OpenVZ hosts on, just for development. I tried a simple mysql master-master db (drupal) between the only 2 containers on the host, and it balked out of memory forks, and that was with 3G RAM. We were only testing replication, no traffic other than small modifications.
For hosting static web pages, maybe 2-4 at most. If anything larger, you would be better to use that machine as a stand-alone.
It would be fine for just playing around on, but I wouldn't consider selling services at all, just asking for trouble.

For shared hosting, probably 15~50 accounts - depending on how resource intensive the sites are.

RAM of your server is not enough to use it as shared environment.
You will not get good performance.

So you're telling me that everybody running shared hosting off of a VPS with 1~2GB of ram are doing something impossible?

Point is - it can host shared accounts, just not a lot of them.

Probably 200 light accounts at $1 per month each; (10GB traffic, 1Gb disk per account, 1000 page views per day per account).

A single heavy account using an SQL-based CMS or forum could consume the entire server.

1-2G of RAM available to the container, sure...on the whole node? No.
You should understand that most of the VPS providers nodes (any worth spit, anyway) have 16-32G or more ram on the NODE. Having a 1-2G VT on that system, sure, you can sell shared hosting, everyone isn't fighting for that 1-2G.

1-2G to split between nodes isn't going to cut it except for anything but development. I did tell you what I got out of my Opteron w/ 3G. Memory forks galore, with 2 VTs, both just running mysqld.

It also depends on the virt technology you use. But if you are just wanting to host shared hosting accounts, why do you want to use containers?
I'm not understand that part.

Shared hosting much?

[mugo]

Ahh, for whatever reason, my mind had it I was responding to the OP Mike. You of all people know exactly what they will do. I was preaching to the choir on that one, huh?

I was very surprised how little it took for OpenVZ to fork out on a pretty hot machine w/ 3G, though. How much are your mins on your OVZ nodes? (hey, that may be useful to OP, so maybe even OT still...)

Good times

16GB RAM minimum if that's what you were asking.

[Hosting Now]

Also, the hard-drives, are they dual SATA HDD? Are they SAS? I would never do much more than static sites on SATA HDDs, as they simply just don't have the I/O requirements.

[ms-warren]

You will probably have to add another 4 to 6 GB of RAM to that machine
