Setting up VPS on a dedicated server

| What are some things I need to do to be able to offer VPS on my dedicated server? What are my software/hardware needs, etc.?

| What OS you planned to run?
|
| Posted by Nick A, 12-09-2010, 03:57 AM |
| Probably CentOS but I would like recommendations.
|

| Check on SolusVM if you wish to run on CentOS.

| I forgot - I need to use cPanel. Where do I go from there though?

| Well bud im asking the same sort of questions so would be glad to offer what i have learnt (xen style).
If your planning of using CentOS 5.5 (this is what i would use) then you would need to install Xen and then either HyperVM or SolusVM as a control panel. I am then pretty sure you just upload your other web hosting pannel through the VPS control panel.
Here are some useful links that i use:

| Try Plesk Virtuozzo, it is one of the best and easily manageable

| For virtualization tech, I'd recommend Xen. I'd much prefer to use KVM, but neither solusvm/hypervm offer it yet...hopefully in early 2011. Personally I consider openvz not suitable for my needs - I want to offer "real" VMs - dedicated CPUs, dedicated memory and disk, not something container based. If you're looking to oversell/offer cheap VPS, openvz might be a reasonable solution for you.
My recommended soln would be solusvm + centos + xen

| What sort of system hardware reqs would that involve?

| Really comes down to the size of the VPSs you want to offer, and if you want to oversell. At a minimum, SolusVM doesn't want to be on the same server as the VM server, so you need a separate server or a VPS from your provider. I'd look for a server with at least one multi-core cpu that supports hyperthreading, a good amount of RAM, and lots of fast disk. (from my exp, VM servers run into disk IO bottlenecks long before cpu/memory)

| openvz + centos 64Bit + solusvm my recommendation
also xen + centos 64Bit + solusvm also great if you are not looking for overselling

| It depends on what you want to run...OpenVZ is good for running *nix based VEs, Xen, ESXi, etc. if you need Windows.
OpenVZ is probably the easiest, I suggest playing with it CLI style to get to know it before throwing a control panel on. You'll be glad you did "down the road".

| Ok back with more questions:
How would I run something like xen + centos + solusvm and use cpanel? If I wanted to offer cpanel on each vm, would I need individual cpanel licenses for each?
|
| Posted by instantIT, 12-19-2010, 10:44 AM |
| Yes, there is a cPanel for VPS and it is cheaper compared to ordinary cPanel license.

| centos 64bit OS + SolusVM will do you well. I would go with OpenVZ over XEN.

| Xen, a para-virtualisation platform that gives you much of the dedicated server behaviour.
On the other hand you have OpenVZ, an operating-system level virtualisation system that is just a thin layer on top of the underlying OS.
Both of them are different technologies and it depends on what type of application are to be hosted on the VPS.
