need help setting up a vps

[boylsie]

hey guys!

im getting a vps for a month and here good things about photonvps plus they have a coupon for 50% off for the first month which is awesome.

so i would like some help setting it up from ordering it to getting my bot working and how to check up on it etc.

please post msn here or pm it to me if youd prefer it to not be public

thanks

Does it really bot for you while your computer is off?

Yeah that's what a vps does.

hmmm
when i first tried to do it now
what do do i put as the domain server?
anything??
could i get an example.

also when i registered it didnt ask what country i was from
so i made my order
then it said we are making a call now, i didnt get one so i clicked cancel and now the vps order has gone down as fraud.
as im form uk they were obviously ringing the wrong person

should i make a new account and use the half off code again?

thanks for the link aswell

anything.anything.com should be the domain.
You shouldn't pick your vps based on 50%off for firstmonth in my opinion. Finding a better host than photonvps is worth much more than 50%

@kimo
it says this for the option:
Hostnamebox to enter what u want to type) eg. server1(.yourdomain.com)
so whatever i type will that replace "yourdomain" or "yourdomain.com"?

@austin
they have an automated voice call your house to tell you a 4 digit pin so they know they have the right person ordering i guess so they dont get scammed?

thanks
