How many vps in that server about?

Hi

How many vps about i can add in a server xeon cpu and 8gb ram and 100mbit speed?

Openvz technology.

Thanks

 

It depends upon the specification of the VPS you add. If you add 1 GB RAM in each VPS then you end up with 7 VPSes max.

 

it depends on the drives also. I would go with nothing less then raid10

 

plus and minus of raid10 and how much it will cost?

Requirments?

Thanks

 

RAID10 - Google it.

It will cost a fair bit, i suggest you research servers a little more before running into a VPS provider company.

You will need a large amount of investment to continue business for 2-3 years.

 

Yes i know i am just asking a few things

Usualy how much the companies charge for raid configuration?

They do the setup or i must do it?

Thanks

 

I allready googled this for you in another thread. I posted a few links about what raid and the levels are about. Here is your thread again:

Raid cost depends on every provider. usually you pay for the card and you pay for 4 identical hardrives.

 

Depends what RAID your getting, if its a hardware controller they will setup that for you.
Chances are you will run out of RAM before power on that server.
I host on Q6600 - 8GB RAM servers and they run fine with about 12 vps's on. also they are really good price for me.
You also need to work out if your overselling or not, some hosts do some don't
Personally I don't agree with it, but you can get alot more VPS's on a server if your not that bothered about the end users performance.
Your Choice.

 

about cost
if you want to save on cost - then you get a blank server and YOU do ALL the raid config server config, etc and all else on your own
that however requires quiet some in depth knowledge and experience - IMO at least a few years practice on own offline server system, own PC and own site-server before going into such business

else your server-host charges whatever there fee - up to 100+$ per hour to have your host configure your server as you like it

or
you take a managed server
and pay hundreds of $ per months or much more and have the solid disadvantage of life long waiting time for every bit you want to configure or change

it's much more than just RAM / GB and bandwidth / selling accounts
a very substantial part of a server admin - may be the most time consuming is security and hacker / IDS / IPS system config and maintenance

example during the past several holidays ( holy week ) I had hackers from far in excess of 100 different servers attempting to knock at my servers. why ?
because many hobby server admin / owners are on vacation and hence no or very limited supervision of all server activities.
these are the days you loose or maintain your reputation as a responsible and reliable server admin.

to be server owner / admin means 365 days / yr / 24 hrs /day on duty or on call and in control

 

A few info about this please?

practice on own offline server system, own PC and own site-server

I add in my vmware a Centos Os and then what i must do to use all basic things like Apache or ssh ?

Can i use lan ip to connect from windows using putty there?

Thanks

 

you can simulate all offline using LAN IP or if only 2 PC involved connect directly by cable PC to PC at home without routers or wlan

best having 2 PCs at home
one simulating your home-PC
the other simulating your www-server

connect via cable or wifi and configure ALL as you wanted to do online
any good Linux OS offers all the tools and SW you need for LAMP and accessories/services on server

I have never used VMware - hence no experience,
but I always fully install SAME OS in my laptop as I have for my server - incl same version
that gives me exact offline situation as my server encounters
which may be important during regular security fixes and updates
first I do offline - if all fine after update, then I do online on server

just study the functionalities and services you want to offer on your server and create the exact same at home
as a server-simulator you may use an old PC without monitor - just HDD or raid
NO touching, NO switching etc allowed at home
in normal remote server management you have NO switch, NO direct physical access, all via SSH and shell commands and in emergency a rescue console for a hard-boot. that.s it.
such situation can be simulated offline if you want.

 

Does Centos offer Apache,Mysql,Php by default?

Thanks

 

I run opensuse ever since I moved to Linux in 1998.
NO experience with Centos
but
since YOU choose Centos, you actually should be able to find those data within your own system or by google.for

Centos LAMP

but as far as I know ALL major dist have LAMP and all necessary server tools included in their dist packages.

 

Ok thanks

If my 2 pc's are on the same network using my dsl modem or a switch it will be ok to access it?

 

any testing environment as direct as possible is fine for our "home work"
I would the most direct connection
like cable PC to PC or switch
and your "server-PC" should have direct access to www, just as your server usually has direct access to internet to download missing SW

in a typical server situation you get a basic image pre-installed
login
and do all the rest remotely

hence you could install a basic default LAMP
then login and do as in real server-world when all is done remotely by you

all via SSH - NO remote desktop stuff
while many use a cpanel of anz kind
my recommendation is to use direct console, its more secure and more flexible but also more demanding at beginning

later when you know what you do, you always can switch to any cpanel
because THEN you know each step the cpanel does and can correct where needed

 

I install Cenos 5.3 and setup using a tutorial in the net and when i restart i got a login terminal to the server.

I add there my root username and password and it was ok.

Then i try using local ip to connect from my windows pc using putty and i got a prompt

But when i add my username there and pressing enter i got this:

 

by default normally remote login as root is disabled
hence to be able to login as root you may have do enable root-login FIRST

that most likely will be in your
/etc/ssh/sshd_config
a line>

PermitRootLogin without-password

or
you create another user account - then login as NON-root user
and then su after login
later you may configure your root login - but together with serverkey authentication rather than password

and
make sure you have NO interfering firewall on any of the machines

and
you may have to learn to google to get faster answers to your problems
maybe you appear to lack even normal Linux user experience ???

make sure you know how to configure regular network before starting remote server
it is same as networking except more security and more configuration/installation stuff to do

i would use Linux on BOTH ends of the test to make things simple and solid

A general rule in case of ANY problems,
on BOTH machines always look at the error logs - any of multiple of below, depending on exact operation / problems you encounter

tail -f /var/log/messages
tail -f //var/log/warn
tail -f //var/log/apache2/error_log

(adapt path as needed for your precise system !!! )

that shows you problems if any
usually the error output is clear enough to find solution
else google using error messages displayed - such as

login as root server unexpectedly closed network connection

good luck

 

How can i browse there?

/etc/ssh/sshd_config

When i login and use ls i can see only some anaconda and install files ...

 

This should answer your question.

 

Yes i don't know the basics but there is not a folder etc.

At least using ls is not there so i can't use the cd command.
