Need some guide on VPS

[allgotu]

Hello,

Recently, my friend told me to buy a VPS host to host a server (preferrably RAN Online). I purchased a VPS on hostgator but sadly it is CentOS. Here are my scenarios:

I installed a GUI on my CentOS to have a User Interface login.
I installed a Virtual Machine (VBox) but when I try to create a virtual OS, I can't configure the RAM :?:

Next is I used OpenVZ but I can't run it well; it has plenty of errors and had few resources to learn the code debugging. Next thing is I installed a Virtual Machine Tool but when I connect to localhost, it says "CPU Socket Topology has changed".

Do you have any guides/tutorials to base on how to run windows via my VPS?

What you're trying to do is called nested virtualization and it's not a favourable solution. I'm not sure but I don't believe OpenVZ/Virtuozzo has such capabilities as I've only seen hardware virtualization solutions support it. Next time you look for a VPS provider make sure it's using XEN or KVM if you want such capabilities.

I tried contacting centos and they send me this link:

You must be registered to see links

<-- so I might have 2 kernels running on 1 virtual machine. So, its really capable to have nested virtualization in centos..

I just need some experts who had already setup a server using VPS. Because some told me that they are just using a VPS on their server and they won't send me the tutorials/guides on how to do that. They have the same VPS as mine.

You're provider, HostGator, is using Virtuozzo on its host OS (shared kernel) and it is the kernel that needs to support nesting; that doesn't look to be to the case here. Cancel your subscription with HostGator and find a new VPS provider that supports Windows directly if that's what you really need. They will advertise if they do or don't, simple. I don't know where you are in the world but some suggestions for Windows guest support are

You must be registered to see links

(*NOT* VPS Classic, Charged monthly),

You must be registered to see links

(Charged per-hour),

You must be registered to see links

(Charged per-hour), and anyone else who advertises Windows guest hosting.

Which version of CentOS are you using? If you are using 6.x I highly recommend using KVM Platform instead.

It is very easy to install with yumgroup install command.

It should be something like that

yum groupinstall "Virtualization" "Virtualization Platform" -y


You can manage it with Virt-Manager.

yum install virt-manager

KVM needs AMD-V/VT, which a VPS should not have.

How about using other kernels and use symbolic links from other kernels? is that possible?



Or can WINE do the installation of the following windows apps:

MSSQL
STUDIO

No...

To put it simply, on your current machine you can't run windows...
