Getting started with VPS

Start using VPS-Linux Enterprise Application-Linux server application information. The following is a detailed description. Today, we officially started using VPS. I use JBWebhosting's Unmanaged VPS (VPS without management services ). This is a small host provider, but I feel that the service is still good. The server is hosted in the SoftLayer data center. JBWebhosting provides two server locations: Seattle data center and Dallas data center. We recommend that you use the Seattle data center because the network speed from Seattle to China is better. Dallas data center, the world's first data center, is extremely stable and I tested it at a very high speed. I pay more attention to stability-selecting the Dallas data center while the speed is tolerable.

Because Unmanaged VPS is used, in addition to hardware problems, the remaining problems must be solved by yourself. Although it is troublesome, it also has advantages: 1. Saving money; 2. Practicing technology. Go to the background and check whether the system can be installed quickly. There are many options (CentOS 4/5, Fedora Core 5/7/8, Debian 3.1/4.0, Gentoo Stage 3, openSUSE 10, SUSE 9.3 & Ubuntu 6.06/7.10/8.04 ). The system I installed is CentOS5, and the Control Panel still needs to be installed (the command has not been learned well). Lxadmin is used (free and cost-effective. If Americans pay attention to copyright, piracy will be avoided ). It will be done soon. Although Lxadmin is free of charge, its functions are not weak at all.
