Hey everyone, I'm looking for a VPS to bot on since I am unable to bot at home. Currently attempting to get a cheap dedicated server from Kimsufi but I think they are backed up. Anyways does any know or have any idea about a cheap VPS that would run 1 bot (at a decent FPS)?
Regards,

I use OpenVZ.io (INIZ) - http://openvz.io/

IO3G runs smooth, they don't really care about CPU usage (I was using 10.0 and they didn't blink an eye)

If you wanted to test ping/download speed - 95.47.119.181 - http://95.47.119.181/100MB.bin

I'll give you a machine that can run it if you want, I have a laptop that sits doing nothing
just a few $ per month to cover electricity I guess, lol
its literally a dust collector, I just keep all my old stuff

dude they have lines like 3 blocks away, but who the hell knows when they'll start to activate that stuff

I think they're focusing on kansas city till end of 2014 Q_Q

my net is more than plenty to run a runescape, I host like 7 websites out of here no problem.. and it's gone out for like 3 minutes total this year.. so it isn't really bad

I tell ya, I'm having a hard time getting Simba to run. But to get VNC working properly use this guide:
http://blog.raidlogic.net/2012/07/02/how-to-install-vnc-w-ubuntu-desktop-on-vps/
I realize this isn't the most efficient desktop environment but it's the only guide I could get working lol.
btw just use putty or OSX terminal to SSH into the server (for osx: ssh 95.147.xxx.xx -l root) and they email your root password.

simba & java work the best on fedora / lubuntu.. most other linuxes its pretty MEH

Reheehealy… Is that so? I can see that Simba (pre-compiled binaries) might struggle on some Linux distro that's not based on the distro it's compiled in, but it should not really be any problem.. If there is problems, it might be resolved by recompiling Simba on that distro (depending on the problem). If you say Simba works on LUbuntu AND Fedora.. Then it should work just as well on a LOT of other distros then.. (Ubuntu-based, and RHEL-based/Similar), from the top of my head: I can remember that I have had Simba on LMDE (mate), Fuduntu(gnome), PCLOS(kde), and Mageia(KDE)..

Java have never been an issue for me, and I have used a lot of distros. If however Java is being an ass then you can use OpenJDK(includes JRE) instead of Oracle JDK which might be a little more straight forward.

good for you, what I said maybe went way over your head?

wheels work fine on any vehicle
engines work fine on any vehicle
but you need proper wheels, to go with your engine.. because little bicycle wheels won't hold that kind of weight

simba & java, together.. java mainly, doesn't play nicely on an assload of distros, I don't really care if you can get it to run or not… compared to fedora & lubuntu (both latest and greatest for the most part) there are many distros that struggle to run it well, you'll get much more from those two

Hey guys, @grats has hooked me up with an old laptop sitting in his server closet and it is working great so no VPS or kimsufi. Justin are you considering it? (have I mentioned also that grats is the bomb)

I'm looking for a dedicated server so I am able to move my video converting VPS to something else where I can use 100% cpu the whole time.

Ive never had a problem with Simba/Java running on Centos Before. Im Not huge with linux tho. but from my experience its fine.

You have any experience with java and centos?

I haven't had any problems with them either..

hell my 8 year old laptop runs the internet fine, is it the better than this computer? no


redhat has its core OS, fedora is its test core and centOS is a free clone of redhat, so they're all very similar

I just notice a fps increase with the light weight - up to date - OS's

Definitely not a bad idea, the cheapest i5 would probably do you right! (It's just a bit steep $-wise as a comp purely for botting lol)

assuming his video converting is using all cores (multithread or processes) one of the amd 8cores would beat it in that, and much cheaper

didn't see his post though
@Justin build one for that yourself? or you need it off site?

I'd need it off-site, otherwise I would just use my desktop for it
