Due to some serious problems with shared webhosting, as I blogged here and here, I’m now seriously considering to self-host all my sites.
With this I wish to setup a server for this purpose, and host it in a datacentre. To make it financially and practically feasible, I plan to provide what’s so called Virtual Private Server (VPS) by using whether Xen or VMWare ESXi at the server to whoever interested.
Details of the plan are as the following;
The server should have the following minimum specification;
- Quad core processor
- RAID 1 configured HDD
The server is to be co-located at Jaring’s Secure Internet Datacenter which feature the following;
- 100Mbps port per rack
- Unmetered bandwidth
- 24 hours visit to server room
- More info of the datacenter is available here.
Xen based (or probably VMWare ESXi) virtualization for each VPS (guest OS) configured to have the following resources;
- 384Mb RAM
- 25 GB storage
- 1 fixed public IP
Why would you be interested?
- For whatever reason you need to have a proxy server
- For RnD, or whatever you call it
- Starting a small internet business
- Hosting web applications, with total flexibility and without problems with shared webhosting issues
- Just for fun
- … and for many other reason la
Depending on the number of "participant", monthly commitment is estimated to be RM85 per VPS hosting, and is open for discussion.
So, are you in?
