Best Configurations for VPS

Hi

I have a VPS of following specifications

256MB RAM
35GB Hard Disk
400Mhz Processor

I want to install an Operating System on it and Web Site Control Panel. Last time I use Koloxo It takes up my all RAM after some days.

Now I am very worried because all of my sites are closed. Please suggest me what softwares to use to work with in available resources

Minimum Resources and Maximum Output

I shall be thank full to you

 

Your spec is not good for give better output. Try ispconfig for Web Site Control Panel.

 

if you want to put cpanel on it you will need more ram

 

256MB RAM isn't loads, but if you are experienced and can put the effort into fine tuning it, you can still get some performance out of it. 400MHz isn't very fast at all though, so if you have any kind of dynamic pages, you might hit some difficulty.

I'm sure there must be other control panels that use less resources. I know DTC seems reasonably friendly in this respect, but it's not very well known at present.

 

I search over internet but not get DTC ! Is it Ispconfig ?? please can you give me url to download that

 

DTC is available at http://www.gplhost.com/software-dtc.html but I only advise using it if you are an expert with Unix. It probably does more than what you want too.

 

I didn't know they even had OS-less VPS hosting available -- not in 2010, at least.

Why not get one pre-loaded? Cost can't be too much different. Look around webhostingtalk.com for latest hosting deals. (Not sure if this forum has anything comparable, still a bit new here.)

256MB RAM isn't enough for most sites, especially if it's running PHP sites. Control panels alone want a lot of RAM to run. I use 256MB RAM for burst alone.

 

Y dont u try Webmin ??

Web min and lxadmin are the best as i know

 

If you don't need a control panel, i'd recommend this mainly due to your low CPU allocation:

- lighttpd or nginx web server with PHP
- Remotely hosted DNS (everydns? editdns?)
- Remotely hosted email (Google apps is great for this)
- MySQL configured for low RAM usage

 

This was a good tutorial for me on how to setup low end VPSes. Have a semi active wpmu install on one without issue:

http://www.lowendbox.com/blog/yes-you-can-run-18-static-sites-on-a-64mb-link-1-vps/

And yes you can run php sites on 256megs.

 

I think this is particularly important. I've found that spam checking functionality (SpamAssassin, tumgreyspf etc.) and even the MTA itself often uses up a lot of memory, so getting this provided for free off-system is a wise move.

 

Well guyz , wat about Vista Panel ??
Is it free ?? can it be used in low end machines ??

and from wer we can get it ?

 

Well Well, i ve bought a VPS from Hosterspoint.com
VPS #1 package ...


and i ve installed LxAdmin !! its really good .. and it has almost all features of cPanel and also it is userfriendly !!

 

Try VHCS. On my VPS works great.
