Photon has OpenVZ and Xen... but if you want a photon VPS buy it from Yardvps.com
same company, but cheaper because photon is managed and yard is unmanaged.
also Xen vps are better than OpenVZ just fyi.
Don't buy form yard its 1 cpu man last time you posted this I replied. The price is cheap yeah but the specs don't cut it and the owner won't allow botting on yardvps anyways because of the low specs so you risk termination.
Don't bot on yardvps.
SeerHost runs dual xeon 5520 cpu's with 24GB DDR3 RAM
This is only true if the openvz provider oversells. If not overselling, openvz is more efficient and stable.
Be careful buying openvz servers from a normal provider as it is expected that they will oversell. However, SeerHost does not oversell- Openvz is just significantly simpler for custom OS templates (aka with vncserver, java, botting client, etc. already installed).
Openvz allows for overselling which is why i prefer Xen based virtualization, easy templates are one thing but when it affects my ability to run X amount of bots on X amount of ram I'd prefer Xen. As an example a member here dimkachum and I compared packages while using high resource scripts and he was only able to get 2 running using max resources whilst I ran 4 easily. His Openvz vs my Xen, if that's not overselling then it's not configured optimally at the least.
Is there a way you can be positive that SeerHost doesn't oversell? I'm not saying you are wrong or lying, I'm just curious.
Compare resource usage with another member of the same specs might work. No provider would want to admit it.
Only way for an OpenVZ provider to make money is to oversell their services.
This does hold true in alot of circumstances, if you remember Hazenet (sold to thrustvps which used to be damnedvps) Hazenet oversold openvz alot, there are so many providers that do.
WHY do my clients keep closing themselves? This is happening with Photon only, and it is pissing me off.
Every time I open a client, it closes within a few minutes. Every time.
This used to happen every couple days so it was no big deal.. but now I seriously cannot keep a client open for more than 10 minutes and I am getting so sick of Photon. I can only assume it's on Photon's end because my other VPS doesn't do this. Nor does it do it when I run it on my PC.
Before anyone tells me to do this- I already submitted a ticket, and like I figured, they are absolutely no help whatsoever.
So any ideas?
This happens to me as well but I run different providers.
to change ur root password just open putty, connect, and then type this
"pssswd"
then enter ur new password and press enter
I quoted you due to the helpful information. Also good luck with your VPS let me know here if you have any trouble.
If they assisted you with your issue why are you flaming them? I have nothing but good things to say about them they offer me high quality services. I currently have 5 VPS with them at the moment.
As far as clients closing, it could be a NeXus issue. I was experiencing that at one point but everything is running smoothly right now.
Oh and its good that they are monitoring the security of your VPS, you wouldn't want any intruders would you? This to me is quality service.
Yes alot of people must understand that just because your bots arent running good does not reflect their provider. I can say Photon is a great provider I run multiple vps from them and as soon as they offer dedi's I'm grabbing one. To shed some light on their CS you must understand the many types of management when it comes to webhosting.
Code:
[B]Unmanaged[/B] - good luck your on your own and screw tickets unless your paying for admin time which is expensive. Know your stuff.
[B]Managed[/B] - Monitor and fix everything and you can pretty much ask them to wipe the computers arse but you pay $$ out of yours for many things.
[B]Semi-Managed[/B] - A balance in between you don't pay an arm and a leg but you also have to know a few things and be willing to learn for yourself.
Photon is semi-managed and for that price is a good one for the Warp packages, believe me I done alot of research and have ran bots on vps for awhile now.
I was flaming them earlier and last night because I was frustrated. I probably shouldn't have flamed like I did but I was getting very frustrated.
The clients closing is not a Nexus issue. It doesn't happen on another VPS provider I use, nor does it happen on my personal PC. It isn't doing it as often now, so I can't complain.
While I am glad they are monitoring my VPS, I just get a random email stating I am abusing their VPS and that they will suspend me if I don't stop. What am I supposed to think? All I do is bot and I was a bit angered they threatened to shut off my VPS.
I do apologize for flaming them as much as I did. It wasn't necessary at all.
Yes Photon does great at monitoring their systems and if they say you have been intruded upon personally I would believe it's very common and you should quickly reinstall and secure your password. Also you should look into installing security as using VNC programs through SSH and SSH unencrypted connections in general are dangerous and unsecure. Your password should be a combination of letters numbers and symbols, 123abc$#@as an example and look into learning linux security programs.
I think at times everyone experiences client closings, some more then others. When I had a photon vps I experienced them.. when I had servers I experienced them.. even on my mac I sometimes (but rarely) experience them. I guess its just something you have to deal with and hope for the best. From past experience, the client closings would happen frequently for a day but then the problem would be over, so maybe the vps was just having an off day? Maybe resource abuse from other people on your node?
Bad time of the month for the vps? Maybe it's having an extended monday?
I agree with you kmjt the client closing is a common problem with me and can be frustrating. I find it happens after updates.
That actually seems to hold true. The past few days it's been fine but today the client's are closing again..
*sigh*
Don't even know what to do at this point.
Just keep firing them up at first without hitting the Add bot button, if you need 6 fire up 8. Then log into the 6 and let them stablize for a bit. Then fire up another to the runescape screen or keep them there depending on resource usage (check free -m and free -cpu in console), if one crashes it's quickly replaced. I am assuming you have a higher end vps package.
what happens when you use up all your swap space?? can you get more
You actually shouldn't be using the swap space to bot lol. You should upgrade to a bigger vps package.
