[HELP] - VPS vs Low Cost Dedicated server (~15$ a month)

Sanguin · Dec 13, 2012

Hello guys,

Here is my problem: I got my account suspended on my Low Cost VPS because I was causing troubles for the other users.
My budget was very low (~ 7$ a month).

Now I am thinking about upgrading into a real VPS or a small dedicated server.

My short list is:

Bermanhosting VPS:

Kimsufi Dedicated Server:

12â‚¬ is like 15$

I really feel like Kimsufi has a killing offer, but less CPU than Bermanhosting.
However, it is a dedicated server, meaning I won't have any problem with other users on the machine.

What do you think ? If you have some other interresting services around 15$ a month, let me know !

Thx to all.

I am doing all kind of SEO things (webscraping, API uses through PHP) and need a good Mysql database.
From what I have seen, I mainly need RAM.

Tweak the MySQL not to use too much RAM, here's how I configure the /etc/my.cnf file:

Code:

[mysqld]datadir=/var/lib/mysql
socket=/var/lib/mysql/mysql.sock
user=**********
 
log-slow-queries = /var/log/mysql-slow.log
long_query_time = 5
skip-innodb
skip-locking
skip-bdb
 
[mysqld]
local-infile=0
skip-locking
query_cache_limit=4M
query_cache_size=32M
query_cache_type=1
max_connections=300
interactive_timeout=100
#wait_timeout=100
connect_timeout=10
thread_cache_size=64
key_buffer=16M
join_buffer=1M
max_allowed_packet=16M
table_cache=1024
open_files_limit=5120
record_buffer=1M
sort_buffer_size=2M
read_buffer_size=2M
max_connect_errors=10
# Try number of CPU's*2 for thread_concurrency
thread_concurrency=4
myisam_sort_buffer_size=64M
tmp_table_size=64M
max_heap_table_size=64M
 
[safe_mysqld]
err-log=/var/log/mysqld.log
open_files_limit=8192
 
[mysqldump]
quick
max_allowed_packet=16M
 
[mysql]
no-auto-rehash
#safe-updates
 
[isamchk]
key_buffer=64M
sort_buffer=64M
read_buffer=16M
write_buffer=16M
 
[myisamchk]
key_buffer=64M
sort_buffer=64M
read_buffer=16M
write_buffer=16M
 
[mysqlhotcopy]
interactive-timeout
 
[mysqld_safe]
log-error=/var/log/mysqld.log

pid-file=/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.pid

On the thread_concurrency make sure you know how many cores you have access to. In this case it is set for 2 cores, but if you don't know how many you have access to then just run:

Code:

grep ^processor /proc/cpuinfo | wc -l

and you're good to go.

For VPS providers - I see that your budget's around 7$ so why don't you check some of the offers listed on lowendbox.com, there are tons of providers and more feedback from real clients, so you won't go wrong.

Hope this helps!

I am using for the last 4 months an comapany called Prometeus, you can check their site at:

Code:

http://www.prometeus.net/sito/

(I am not affiliated with them just a happy customer )

Never had any downtime, fast servers, great support and cheap prices. They also have an dedicated mysql server for a cheap price. Check them out.

Sanguin · Dec 14, 2012

Thank you both, I go on looking for somethig that suits my requirements.
I didn't thing about optimizing Mysql config file, thx delta_force.

I would have to say go for kimsufi because all resources are dedicated to you.

Bostoncab · Dec 14, 2012

Does that come with Windows for $15 a month? I could use a vps running windows that cheap!

xtr3m · Dec 14, 2012

You are still looking at cheap options and there's no guarantee they'll be any better. I'm on Linode and paying $20 for 512MB.

Yes you can put Windows on kimsufi but the price is not the same.

t0p3a · Dec 15, 2012

I guess you have to pay for 3 months in advance for kimsufi if i am not wrong...

No, you can pay month by month.
Everything I read tells me I have to go for Kimsufi !
