First off, sorry if I should have posted this in the other threads, but I wasn't sure if I should necro them.
Anyways, I'm considering using a a vps service like Linode to hose a minecraft server, but I saw that they only offer 360MB of ram. Looking at my task manager, the server I'm running off my computer right now's taking far more than that running my 512x512x256 map. Would it still be able to fit within the limits? Would I need to trim the map to make it fit? Also, would I have enough space left over to put a lil website on the server?
I was running 16 minecraft servers off a dedicated with 2GB of ram. They were taking no more than 100MB each and that was with large custom maps, 360MB would be an ample amount for a server :smile.gif:
I used to run a server with a pretty large map from a linode360. Was plenty enough. Although, I only ever had 16 people on it at a time. You should be fine with two or so servers going on it.
Okay, thanks again for the help. I was worried because while hosting on my computer, it was taking about 500mb's of ram. I'll rent the VPS and try it out tomarrow. :biggrin.gif:
Citric, why is mine using 27% of my 512 RAM? Is it something to do with the RAM being super slow (it's like pc3200) and on a P4 2.4 ghz?
Also, the service I'm looking at doesn't have swap space. Will this be a problem with a minecraft server?

That's only ~140MB ram, depending on the map size that's entirely reasonable. It also depends on the players that are using the server, if you're running a 512 custom map with 20 players on lots of the time then anything up to 250mb isn't unlikely.
Okay, I got the VPS, set up the server with centos. Connected to my minecraft server I set up and it works perfectly. :biggrin.gif: I just need to install the Minecraft Server Operator so I can check on files and make backups. So, how would you go about doing this? I know I need to install mono, but I'm not sure how to download it through a terminal or install it.
Also, with a linode360, would I have enough resources with a 512x512x256 map at an average 8 players to handle a small web server on the side?
i do know that with mails modified cMss script. you can set up an irc channel and check on your server that way (ie chat with people and run some in-game commands).

Nvm, usage is increasing.
I'm interested in a VPS, too. Looking at FiveBeans'.

I prefer adura's or cyzred's script for a remote server.
Both have backups.
Quality of output = Skill * Effort
Do you know of some way I could get a system like that in place?
Edit:
Actually, just realized I can check on logs by logging into my vps at any terminal. Hidden perk I just found. :tongue.gif:
Anyways, thanks for all the help.
