VPS Thread

[GP King]

Okay so I have been on here for the past few days trying to figure out my VPS issue, and I realize that everyone has a topic about everything VPS here!

So I'm making this thread to consolidate it all and save the RS2 Cheating section lol.

My question:

What is the IDEAL VPS specs to run 2-5+ bots (processor speed, ram, bandwidth, etc.)? If you are currently using a host please include their company name.

I use Photonvps.com->Xen->Warp1 package. Usually can run 1 bot with no lagg or 2 bots with lagg.

I bought a Xen 2 from Chimehost. It has the same specs as a warp 2 server does and is the same price, but they accept payment from your paypal balance not your bank (photon uses bank)

 

[Steingraber]

But do they have the same cpu and 100% uptime as photonvps.com has? Yes there are many providers out there, but only a select few actually follow through with what they are selling..

 

[GP King]

Yea they have a 99.9% uptime and are a verified company by all kinds of payment methods. They, unlike photon, have 24/7 live support rather than a "leave a message or wait til we are on" support

and yes the cpu is still 8 cores

They have a slightly cheaper Warp 3 like server. It is same as warp 3 but about $5 less too

Since no one answered the rule of thumb is 0.5GB ram/bot MIN.

2 bots = 1GB needed at least
5 bots = 2.5GB needed at least

etc.

Thank god someone finally got the urge to post this. With my plan I can run 2-4 on the ram it allows me which is pretty good. after 3 it begins to get a tad laggy.

If memory serves me correctly there was already an extremely informative sticky which had all the information anyone would need regarding VPS'. Although I think it may have been deleted after the database was cleaned up, I'm going to have a look for it now, however if a mod reads this and it has been deleted is there any chance it could be retrieved? Would save a lot of threads being created regarding the same topic.

I agree it would save alot of threads (there are like 10 a day about this when honestly there is a bot nuke coming and it is almost pointless to get one at the moment.)

Here, I found it: http://sythe.org/showthread.php?t=1035234

I'd urge anyone with any questions regarding VPS' to have a look through that thread (I know it's long) but the chances are it has probably answered all of your question 10x times. It is very informative.

If, however, you are still struggling feel free to PM me or post here and I'll try my best to help you.
