urm. how do you remove a vm from the control panel?
Cancel the service?
I'm trying. I clicked on the vm, there's nothing to cancel.
Ah. That's done by e-mail. Send an e-mail to support@arpnetworks.com.
thanks
Sure thing!
anyone know what is used to host the bsd systems? it's not xen is it?
KVM.
I was just curious. I'd like to experiment with bsd a bit.
Awesome.
sorressean: Same here :) Just had a FreeBSD VPS created, to have something a bit more longterm/real to play with than just a local virtual machine.
all dedicated servers are expensive as hell though.
Hmm, seems like the vm hosting business is already rather well saturated, unless you can offer someting really extra, or combine it with other offerings.
sorressean: More like hopefully cover your expenses, but learn lots and lots of cool stuf in the process.
andol:  I'd be cool with that too.
interserver has some nice dedicated servers, but 1.6 ghz processor is about the same speed as my netbook.
the other is $60 more.
sorressean: On a more general level, managing a sytem with actual users is a whole other learning experience than just experimenting with a system only yourself rely on.
andol:  nods. I wouldn't mind it.
andol:  would let me learn, anyway.
ON the other hand, when you pay for a dedicated server you usually also pay for redudant network/power, etc.
It would be cool to get into the vps/dedicated business. I could do the coding to build the panel and all that for sure, but I don't have much to offer over anyone else besides resources.
sorressean: Well, if you have any friends/acquaintances/classmates interested in having their on virtual machines you might setup something for them, and make it worthwhile for them by offering a much more personal setup and support. Economy wise it might not scale, but it would allow you to get a feel for the concept.
andol:  hrm nods.
sorressean: What school are you in by the way?
andol:  colorado mesa university
andol:  it's nothing amazing, but it works to start.
sorressean: Perhaps not, but uni/college is definetly a good place to find likeminded to learn together with.
andol:  nods. I've not found many people that know much about linux or anything else really here. couple of the profs are nuts.
Might have been lucky myself, ending up a university with a rather strong *nix interest  among the comp. sci students.
