VPSes for botting - Talk about them here!

Just wondering i mostly browse this forum without posting, however im sort of stuck which photon package i need to buy.I only want to run around 3 bots, however there is openvz,Xen,windows,hyperv etc...

which package should i be looking to buy?

 

I bought a volumedrive just to test it out because I thought it was too good to be true. Well, it is.

I was running 4 bots on the 4gb plan, and they banned me for "resource abuse".

 

You can only use Xen for botting, or else they will discontinue your service.

I bet they use openvz or something similar. Openvz is where everyone shares resources, and botting is very intensive on bandwith. Use photon's Xen next time !

 

Don't blame it on openvz =p It's up the provider and you can tell by the prices generally.

Also it's not bandwidth intensive but it is heavy on the CPU and memory.

 

So i finally got my root passwords etc but im having trouble setting the VPS up, ive been following the guide but none of the:

yum -y install nano (nano is sometimes installed on some VPSes)
yum -y install firefox
yum -y install java
yum -y install unzip
yum -y install vnc-server
yum -y groupinstall “XFCE-4.4


seem to work i get the error:

# yum -y install nano
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror

I personally own VPSInfinity.com. Been in business since April 5th, 2011 and have grown exponentially since. Recently, we've ordered all new nodes (New Sandybridge E3-1230 processors 16GB of ram using Xen PV) and many of our customers have stated these are the best servers they've ever used.

Servers come pre-setup with:
Java
VNC Server (Starts up on boot of course) w/ KDE GUI
Nexus
RSBuddy
PowerBot
EpicBot

All servers are now instant activation We're currently sold out but will be adding more nodes shortly - already ordered the hardware and are waiting on the shipment to come in.

Check us out :love:

 

My bad on the bandwidth, but i stand by my statement on openvz. I will never order from a company using openvz. I know seershost uses vz and that generates your oppinion. vz is cheaper but as I keep saying, you get what you pay for if you catch my drift

 

Ok. So, I am super new with the VPS thing. I bought KMJT's guide, but it isn't too clear on how to set it up. But, anyways, it says I have to enter in ssh -1 (username) and main ip after that. So, I do that, but every connection thing I use requires frickin dial up?! I don't have dial up, and I don't know which one to choose, because all of them don't work. I really need a lot of assistance, if someone could pm me, or post on here, would really appreciate it

 

So I was about to buy a seerhost silver plan, but I realized the only payment option I can use is paypal.
Also on topic: What's better photonvps or seerhost all I need is a vps that can run a 2-4 bots for my skill training business.
One with no hassle, and I can monitor from my macbook.

Anyone use their $1 3 month vps?

 

i was planning to get warp 1 on photonvps.. but i saw there is a bandwidth limit on it lol.. so is it even worth it? like if i run as many bots as possible on it will it get finished before my 1 month ends?? :S

 

You would run out of ram well before hitting the limit. Warp 1 can run 1 bot. To estimate the ram used, do 500 mb per non intensive bot and 1 gb for intensive (aka sw). Unless you're using rsbuddy, which I heard requires at least a warp 3 because you need 2 gb to launch. I dont use rsbuddy so I don't know for sure.

Well, Photon uses paypal as payment, just be sure to use Xen

To your question, I'm a photon user and supporter so I'd say photon is. If you ask any of the seershost fanboys from above, they'll say seershost. I originally had the same issue as you (paypal as the only payment option) so I turned to Photon and let me say, their 99.9% up time is not a joke. I think 1nce in the past 3 months have I had an issue, created a ticket and it was fixed right away. I'm glad I went with photon.

 

User SeerHost and you won't run into that problem.

They have all the clients already installed and an easy guide to start you up.

 

Just bought a seerhost vps.
First time setting one up took me 5 minutes, very happy with my choice.

 

Whynotavps.com is also cheap and can run many accounts!!!

 

Is volumedrive.com any good? Prices are low but is what they offer any good at all? Anyone use it?

 

Guys I'm still confused on what VPS I should
buy to run my soul wars bot...
I'm currently using the RSBuddy premium
soul wars script (by peach)...
Someone told me that RSBuddy scripts
are more CPU/Resource intensified.

which one should I go for?/

 

I need help. I'm not new to the botting world, but I am COMPLETLY new to VPS's. The only thing I really know about them is what they are :S Here is some questions I have, all answers will be apprieciated.

1. What is the best VPS to run 20 bots off of?
2. Can I use 1 Vps and run bots off 2 computers?
3. Where should I buy a VPS for 10+ bots?
4. How much will a VPS that I need cost?
5. IF 1 account gets banned, do they all?
6. Are VPS's hard to use?

 

1) You're looking more at a server rather than a vps. If you want mutliple vpses you can pull off 21 with 3 Xen warp 4s.
2) Sure! it's like a seperate computer in itself. Your coputer doesn't even need to be on! Just make sure you have seperate auths for each computer/vps.
3) Well if you want 10+ bots, you'll need a server more than likely, since most providers only have up to 4 gigs (7-8 bots max)
4) Depends where you buy. You get what you pay for. If you pay $3 to run 20 bots, you'll get terrible service. I reccomend photon or seershost (but if you can only use paypal, you have to do photon out of the two).
5) No. You should know this from botting only way you get banned on all is if they are same world and they do a raid and bust em all. Or if you bot in a stupid place like sorc garden, you're just asking to be banned.
6) At first, a little. But, if you follow a guide you'll have no problem! I'm far from a computer tech guy and I use mine with ease.

Anything else just let me know!
