stuff hello an admins around ? or support support@arpnetworks.com if not you've got a vps? well i just have a couple of questions no , but wanting to purchase one some of us (me included) are happy customers that might even answer questions if only they were asked heheeh i want to run bots irc on the vps is that allowed? Yes, but don't be illegal about it. just eggdrops no xdcc In general, do anything legal unless it bothers another customer/the network. ok hmmm , im looking at the packages (Note: I am also not an admin; also just a customer.) how much does the ips does the vps acc come with ? im back hd crashed lol i have a couple questions on a vps , how many bots *eggdrops* would i be able to run? 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 cpu and mem are not overcommitted also your choice in os will make a difference only you can quantify 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 s/not supported/that does not have a template provided by arpnetworks/ so in the end, it depends you decide what resources you need in a system to run your bots and order the vps accordingly 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 I can't comment, since this is my first place I've got a vps at, and am quite pleased in general its known but not officially advertised, if your bots reach networks via v6, you'll end up with no bandwidth usage charges for that ok sounds resonable :) you'll find that anything outside of instantaneous vps setup is typically more than reasonable around here aka provisioning happens overnight toddf: oh, i did not know ARP was your first VPS experience. I've de-virginized you, hot I've had some clients and vmware experiences, but ARP is the first VPS I've paid for 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 haha oh yeah, i remember that that's just weird I'll gladly pay $.05/mo more for more ram, real ips (and v6 as well), and secure remote console access, thankyouverymuch :) 'lo folks up_the_irons: may I query you? any admin around to setup vps phlux: if it's quick, otherwise email support any admin around to setup vps 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) ok 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 ok so the special if i get 5 ips its seperate boxes? ok ordered Thank You! We will contact you by email at scewter@hotmail.com when your order is ready. Feel free to contact us at support@arpnetworks.com should you need to make any changes to your order, or for any other reason. Thank you for choosing ARP Networks, Inc. ;-) scwt: no, 5 IPs assigned to your VPS, should you want more than 1 IP ok and 30 subnet? /30 subnet yields 1 available IP so ex 123.234.234.122 123.234.234.123 123.234.234.124 etc? huh? :) well , if i want to run eggdrops lets say 10 i wont use the same ip :o then you'll need more IPs 5 IPs total is $4 extra; 13 IPs total is $8 extra as stated on the order form i see mmm what is 30 subet? what im trying to ask is i have 1 ip alwready Thank You! We will contact you by email at scewter@hotmail.com when your order is ready. Feel free to contact us at support@arpnetworks.com should you need to make any changes to your order, or for any other reason. Thank you for choosing ARP Networks, Inc. wwops double paste hehe (/30 subnet, FREE scwt: /30 subnet is 1 IP scwt: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CIDR_notation here's a cheat sheet: http://infocenter.guardiandigital.com/manuals/IDDS/node9.html see the /28, /29, and /30 on the bottom '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 so basically with the option i choosed , i cant run anymore then 1 bot ? scwt: if you require 1 IP per bot (forgive my ignorance, I have not ran a bot in a long time ;), then yes well i can run 20 bots on ex 213.123.123.2 then those would be clones I know several customers run bots and tend to get by without a bunch of IPs. Not sure how that works though ok, i c brb well with one ip vps is useless to me :o so can you not put that order threw i thought i have 1 ip with 30 subnet masks like 123.123.233.1 2 3 4 5 6 7 :0 scwt: i'll cancel the order, no problem thank you :) see some vps companies provide alwready with ips and ipv4 6 sorry for the miss understanding fuck eggdrops.
