hello guys. I'm planning on renting a VPS but i'm unsure of how it works. Has anybody had experience with a VPS, can you tel me what im supposed to do after i purchase one? Like do i need to set up odbc connection again or where do i put my files and such. Please help, i'm very anxious.
Where did you get it from? If VPS land, well you're fucked. I suggest you look into Frantech. They just moved to a new data center with amazing servers :D. I can keep you posted if you PM me or DeltaAnime.
I got mine from Server Choice, based in the UK however. If you want a good VPS, go to KickAss VPS 100% uptime and their support is amazing.
SolarVPS, Linode, Slicehost are the best, non oversold options available - OP, if you're positive on host, just know a VPS generally will be identical to managing a dedicated box. Everything you'd have to setup on a dedicated box you're renting from is pretty much the same as a VPS.
so its like setting up a server on my computer, but its not my computer?
will i need to "open ports" and stuff
Whats the problem with Vpsland? O.oQuote:

6tb of bandwidth for $25/m? You're looking at low-quality bandwidth (e.g.: Cogent), on a box with oversold offered specs.Quote:

Sounds too good to be true :PQuote:
