Hello,
Lately we have had a high demand from potential clients for us to offer VPS packages. Since the demand has been so high, we have decided to explore this option. Our question is to those who offer VPS packages already. What VPS software do you use? What is your hardware specs and the max amount of VPS's you will put on those servers? Do you have specific restrictions for each VPS (e.g. limiting CPU resources, memory, etc on an individual basis or equal sharing of resources) or do you allow a free for all (as crazy as that sounds)? Do you have any miscellaneous advice or cautions? Do you find that your VPS clients are fairly satisfied overall or do they have a lot of problems?
Right now, we are looking into using OpenVZ running on CentOS 4.4 and offering all the distros available to OpenVZ. The servers would be Dual Xeons (possibly Quad, not sure yet) each running at 3.0 GHz, 4 GB of RAM, 2 x 500 GB SATA drives in a hardware RAID 1 configuration and of course, the option of a DirectAdmin License free to all of our VPS clients or choose a different control panel for an extra fee.
Any advice, suggestions or comments are welcome as this will certainly help us in making a decision on how we set this up. Thanks in advance!
