Possible VPS Services

[AndrewT]

Ok, then, If I reset my VPS, install and configure cPanel by myself... you can copy the CPSkins stuff without charge or will be still 10.00 to do that?

Basically, I want the VPS to "play" with it, but I will no bother you if problems arise... don't worry

We'll copy over the CPSkins stuff free of charge.

Another question:

What OS will be installed on the VPS? Will they be upgraded (ex. Kernel) if patches for main OS's components are available?

Red Hat Enterprise AS 3. With kernels we're at the mercy of Virutozzo, but they will be updated accordingly.

I'm still working on getting everything finished to begin offering these. We're just working on configuring the OS and the packages installed on it, we want to make sure what is needed is there without too much added fluff such that it is wasting disk space. I had every intention of relasing these this week but right now it looks like it won't be until next week.

Thanks for the update. I have been dying to ask, but I knew if they were ready, you'd have the sign-up page updated.

[FirE-dRaGoN]

Any new updates on this?

[AndrewT]

Not to sound like a broken record here, but very soon

Right now we're just working with a Sablotron issue w/ PHP.

Once again the hold up is SWSoft, as it turns out, their latest patch didn't actually fix the bandwidth shaping/accounting issues that are present in the linux version of Virtuozzo. We're hoping to have this resolved this week.

Andrew- broken records usually sound all ugly and awful and promise alot that they
dont' deliever. I think you've already proven you/DIS are not like that

[halyfax]

I hope they come available soon, I am quickly running out of space on my current account and would prefer to upgrade to a vps

[FirE-dRaGoN]

Same here!

[andeelym]

Ditto that!

Andrew:

I have a suggestion for you... How about offering plain vanilla VPS? (Only main OS installation, no cPanel/WHM). I know this maybe will be cheaper for you and cheaper to offer to your customers, and a entry level VPS might have very good resources compared with the ones with cPanel/WHM (Or that's what I think).



Just my two cents...

[AndrewT]

That may be something that we'll offer in the future as well. And, actually, we're going to be dropping the lowest $20/month plan with these. cPanel simply cannot be run with that amount of RAM along with everything else so there is no way that we can offer it.

We did resolve the issue with Virtuozzo, the developers are Russian and the documentation failed to explain certain features properly which had confused both myself and several people at The Planet. We're hoping to launch these later this week or early next week.

It's kinda of sad of hearing that
