Your comments are welcome.

 

Agnivo,
Run this benchmark on your vps and tell us the results..
# wget http://members.dslextreme.com/users/andylee/unixbench-4.1.0-wht.tar.gz
# gunzip -dvc unixbench-4.1.0-wht.tar.gz | tar xvf -
# cd unixbench-4.1.0-wht
# make
# ./Run

I'd run the benchmark and post the results...personally, I think it'd be fine.

 

oops! some files not found while running the benchmark...seems a centos minimal install is not enough for it.

Anyway, I'm quite satisfied with the performance so far.

 

where is it? I would like to know where you get your vps

 

You can get it install via yum?

 

It's not expensive ,but do you need to pay extra fee for cpanel?

 

DA is installed, cPanel isn't needed.

 

The deal isnt bad if you gettin 100GB of bandwith as well 10 IP's
but how come you manage without CPanel ?

 

Why these bulky packages never comes with cPanel... if they do, there is a big price to pay....

 

He is using DA becuase of several reasons..
Da is recommended becuase on vps if you want to run cpanel on vps you need atleast 512 mb ram for good performance!

Interesting deal...
I understand $10 is hosting and remaining $6 is for DA

No doubt deal really sounds to good to be true. Hope shellcom.info turns out to be a reliable service provider..

Is ashagg offering you some kind of offsite backup

Please do keep us updated...

 

hey neogen! you zeroed in on the vps provider quite easily...
offsite backup is extra.

Now I need some help to optimize apache and mysql...any server admins here willing to help me for a green rep ?

 

What do you want optimizing within apache and mysql?

 

Thanks, being a old timer at WHT gives some advantage and some additional insights..

 

Well, hunted for some good tutes and advice and found the perfect settings for apache and mysql and my mem consumption is only 50-100MB now
