Kush Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 I'm considering getting a VPS, but I'm not entirely sure what this would be able the handle. The specs doesn't look that good to me, but my friend swears it will handle running apache/php/mysql handling large websites and databases without a problem. I want to run multiple databases that just store statistics and I'm a bit worried about the RAM and the company doesn't even mention a cpu. Here's the specs: 256MB RAM 300GB HDD 10Mbps unmetered 1 IP Address My friend runs two counter-strike: source servers off his VPS (same stats).. so I'm actually considering this, but it just seems like it's not powerful enough. Oh.. forgot the most important part.. it's only $9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.josh Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 A server is not going to be running graphic-heavy applications like Windows or games (as in graphic processing of games) so it doesn't really need the large amount of RAM, processing power, etc.. that a client computer requires. Having said that... as with any computer...it depends on how much traffic you are expecting, what all your site will be doing, etc...if it is going to be for personal use, then that *probably* will be more than enough for your needs. Would help if you gave more details about what you're actually wanting to do with it though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kush Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 I'm wanting to host the clans website (current forum has 3 thousand members) and handle the statistics for 40 gameservers using hlstatsx (lots of mysql). That would be the majority of what I'm wanting to do, but there will still be personal projects that I'll eventually work on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kush Posted February 21, 2011 Author Share Posted February 21, 2011 Think it will be able to handle what I need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulRyan Posted February 21, 2011 Share Posted February 21, 2011 Yeah I believe that would be able to handle your requirements... while you're here, what is the name of the host you are going with? Something I'd be interested, especially at that price Regards, PaulRyan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
