VPSes for botting - Talk about them here!

Lol, warp=Xen's plan.
Beam=OpenVZ.
In this case, what i'm trying to say is Xen's warp 3.

 

Warp 3. I have warp 2 and I can run 2 normally, 3 with the BURST RAM.

 

Warp 2 might suffice, but I recommend warp 3 for what you describe ran at 512-768mb each BDK. That includes a Kminer on the side at 500mb. Warp 1 would run one bot, but I would not suggest it, remember the OS takes up memory too - so 512 is not alot.
Yes any domain will work.

As for your electricity bill, it will be about $5-10USD regardless maybe less, especially if you have the right hardware/power supply.

Openvz - Beam 4 would work not as stable
Xen - Warp 4 is recommended, but higher cost

More info in my sig at their official website btw guys, I only know so much but I am still happy to answer. :s lol

 

Lol thanks for the answer, well, lets just say i bought the 512mb one, just running one autofighter at bd's, would it be able to run or it will it crash often?

 

Just so you know, the coupon code HALFOFF in your signature was discontinued a bit ago. WHTHALF is the only one that works, and it's only a ONE-TIME discount of 50%. The reoccurring payment is full price.

 

NP. You tell us, let us know how that works out I am curious as well.

Well there ya go, thanks for the info.

 

Lol i don't really want to buy it if it doesnt run one
i'll probably get beam 2 with the coupon, thanks

 

Don't get Beam. If they catch you running java, they'll continually kill the process.

 

Meant to write warp >_< lol

 

What operating system should I be getting? The default is Centos 5 64 bit (for warp 3).

 

I think CentOS is the best

 

Cent os 5 or cent os 5.5, I prefer 32bit.

 

Why 32, not 64?

 

Once you are giving access to the VPS what's the next step for setting up the bots? I assume it is to connect via SSH using something like PuTTy. Is a VNC the next step for setting up the bot or is it possible to do this through the command line?

 

Use Kero's guide HERE, It explains it all step by step:

My question for you guys with PhotonVPS:

I currently have a few Beam 2 packages. I normally run 4 bots on each, but my client randomly closes at times. Should I upgrade to XEN Warp 2-3?

 

I believe the answer is yes. Your client is being randomly closed by Photon mods/admins because you are running JAVA on a non-JAVA supported/allowed VPS. By getting Warp X you are enabling java and will no longer have the random client closes.

 

I bought the wrong package from PhotonVPS
their support is outstanding and once I get some money I'm looking forward to Warp 2.

Thanks to this thread now i know why ;P

 

(Last question i swear lol)
Will Photon's warp 1 run one account at sorc?

 

It should. Run at 500mb.

Test
memory_get_usage:
32bit kernel & 32bit php - 18875368/19136512
64bit kernel & 64bit php - 35654376/35913728
64bit kernel & 32bit php - 18875368/19136512

tldr: Apparantly 64 bit uses more memory for stuffs

 

I just switched all of my Beam 2 VPS'es over to Warp 2, hopefully I can still run 4 SG accounts on each VPS.
