[13:15] or support [13:15] support@arpnetworks.com if not [13:15] you've got a vps? [13:15] well i just have a couple of questions [13:15] no , but wanting to purchase one [13:16] some of us (me included) are happy customers that might even answer questions if only they were asked [13:16] heheeh [13:16] i want to run bots irc on the vps [13:16] is that allowed? [13:16] Yes, but don't be illegal about it. [13:16] just eggdrops [13:17] no xdcc [13:17] In general, do anything legal unless it bothers another customer/the network. [13:17] ok [13:17] hmmm , im looking at the packages [13:18] (Note: I am also not an admin; also just a customer.) [13:18] how much does the ips does the vps acc come with ? [13:23] *** scwt has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 260 seconds) [13:48] *** vtoms has left [15:22] *** dj_goku is now known as dj_goku_ [15:22] *** dj_goku_ is now known as dj_goku [15:24] *** scwt has joined #arpnetworks [15:24] im back [15:24] hd crashed [15:24] lol [15:26] i have a couple questions [15:26] on a vps , how many bots *eggdrops* would i be able to run? [16:09] you will have the mem limitation and your admin skills and the efficiency of your program and bandwidth charges if you used too much bandwidth [16:09] cpu and mem are not overcommitted [16:09] also your choice in os will make a difference only you can quantify [16:10] if you decide to choose an os not supported it is common to provide an iso that you can hit f12 on the vga console via vnc and just re-install to your choice of os [16:10] s/not supported/that does not have a template provided by arpnetworks/ [16:10] so in the end, it depends [16:10] you decide what resources you need in a system to run your bots [16:10] and order the vps accordingly [16:11] considering of course that the vps at arpnetworks tend to be `snappy' compared to other places based on the comments of those who have migrated here [16:11] I can't comment, since this is my first place I've got a vps at, and am quite pleased in general [16:12] its known but not officially advertised, if your bots reach networks via v6, you'll end up with no bandwidth usage charges for that [16:13] ok [16:13] sounds resonable [16:13] :) [16:14] you'll find that anything outside of instantaneous vps setup is typically more than reasonable around here [16:14] aka provisioning happens overnight [16:33] toddf: oh, i did not know ARP was your first VPS experience. I've de-virginized you, hot [16:34] I've had some clients and vmware experiences, but ARP is the first VPS I've paid for [16:35] I tried another one at the same time, but only paid for one month of their nat'ed non public `but mapped from an assigned public IP' vm [16:35] haha [16:35] oh yeah, i remember that [16:35] that's just weird [16:36] I'll gladly pay $.05/mo more for more ram, real ips (and v6 as well), and secure remote console access, thankyouverymuch [16:38] :) [17:36] 'lo folks [17:37] up_the_irons: may I query you? [17:46] any admin around to setup vps [17:49] phlux: if it's quick, otherwise email support [17:57] * up_the_irons wonders what the question was... [18:10] any admin around to setup vps [18:36] scwt: vps provisioning is generally done within 24 hours of order, during non-low-stock times (notices are placed on the website and order confirmation email if there *is* a low stock notice) [18:37] ok [18:37] at which point, the notice will tell you when you can expect the vps by. fyi, right now, i'm not low in stock (just built a new server a couple days ago), so the 24 hour turnaround applies [18:38] ok [18:41] so the special if i get 5 ips its seperate boxes? [18:42] ok ordered [18:42] Thank You! [18:42] We will contact you by email at scewter@hotmail.com when your order is ready. [18:42] Feel free to contact us at support@arpnetworks.com should you need to make any changes to your order, or for any other reason. [18:42] Thank you for choosing ARP Networks, Inc. [18:42] ;-) [18:46] scwt: no, 5 IPs assigned to your VPS, should you want more than 1 IP [18:47] ok [18:47] and 30 subnet? [18:48] /30 subnet yields 1 available IP [18:48] so ex [18:48] 123.234.234.122 [18:48] 123.234.234.123 [18:48] 123.234.234.124 [18:48] etc? [18:48] huh? :) [18:49] well , if i want to run eggdrops lets say 10 [18:49] i wont use the same ip :o [18:51] then you'll need more IPs [18:51] 5 IPs total is $4 extra; 13 IPs total is $8 extra [18:51] as stated on the order form [18:52] i see [18:52] mmm [18:52] what is 30 subet? [18:53] what im trying to ask is [18:53] i have 1 ip alwready [18:53] Thank You! [18:53] We will contact you by email at scewter@hotmail.com when your order is ready. [18:53] Feel free to contact us at support@arpnetworks.com should you need to make any changes to your order, or for any other reason. [18:53] Thank you for choosing ARP Networks, Inc. [18:53] wwops [18:54] double paste [18:54] hehe [18:54] (/30 subnet, FREE [18:54] scwt: /30 subnet is 1 IP [18:54] scwt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIDR_notation [18:55] here's a cheat sheet: http://infocenter.guardiandigital.com/manuals/IDDS/node9.html [18:55] see the /28, /29, and /30 on the bottom [18:56] 'number of hosts' is the # of IPs in the subnet, but **NOTE** 3 IPs are always used up right away for: network number, gateway, broadcast address [18:57] so basically with the option i choosed , i cant run anymore then 1 bot [18:57] ? [18:57] scwt: if you require 1 IP per bot (forgive my ignorance, I have not ran a bot in a long time ;), then yes [18:58] well i can run 20 bots on ex 213.123.123.2 then those would be clones [18:58] I know several customers run bots and tend to get by without a bunch of IPs. Not sure how that works though [18:58] ok, i c [18:58] brb [18:59] well with one ip vps is useless to me :o [19:01] so can you not put that order threw [19:01] i thought i have 1 ip with 30 subnet masks like 123.123.233.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 [19:01] :0 [19:06] scwt: i'll cancel the order, no problem [19:10] thank you [19:10] :) [19:10] see some vps companies provide alwready with ips and ipv4 6 [19:13] sorry for the miss understanding [19:40] *** prowl has quit IRC (Ping timeout: 276 seconds) [22:30] *** scwt has quit IRC (Quit: ( www.nnscript.com :: NoNameScript 4.22 :: www.esnation.com )) [22:47] fuck eggdrops.
