Which of these VPS is good to run GSA?
Hey,
I was wondering which of these VPS will be good to run GSA On. I want to run at least 40-50 threads simultaneously.
Option 1:
Ram: 512 MB DDR3
CPU: 1 Xenon Core 3.2 Ghz
Speed: 1,000 mbps
CPU: 1 Xenon Core 3.2 Ghz
Speed: 1,000 mbps
Option 2:
Ram: 768
CPU: 1 Xenon Core 3.2 Ghz
Speed: 1,000 mbps
CPU: 1 Xenon Core 3.2 Ghz
Speed: 1,000 mbps
Option 3:
Ram: 1024 mb DDR3
CPU: 1 Xenon Core 3.2 Ghz
Speed: 1,000 mbps
CPU: 1 Xenon Core 3.2 Ghz
Speed: 1,000 mbps
Thanks a lot!

None of them in all honesty
Would you run any windows operating system on a low spec machine like that?
Personally, 2 gig of ram, at a very minimum
Thanks !
I can also tell you my VPS is 1gbps and my home internet is 100 mbps and really there is no difference in performance, so i think 100mbps is enough for GSA SER.
Hope that helps.
Connection, anything more than 100mbps is wasted, imo
SER is a 32bit program, designed to run on 2gig of ram.
But Sven has tweaked it so it runs well on a 64bit operating system, which most people run these days
I can do 250,000 to 300,000 submissions most days and over 100,000 verified on a good day
Running 200 threads @ 195LpM, Im not going much over 10mbs average
You don't need a massive hard drive, on the vps I use, its about 60gig. Nothing massive
CPU, ideally, a quad core and about 4 gig of ram
I cant remember seeing anyone mention they run ser on such a poor quality vps as you mentioned above
Certainly none of the experienced users that give regular advice on her
If I was to screen shot this weeks verified graph, you would salivate at what ser can do if you spend the time setting it up
Everything @Lee said is true. You definitely want a minimum of 2Gb RAM. I wouldn't even consider an arrangement with less than 2 Gb.
It is also true that 100 Mbps is a complete waste. You will do no faster on 100Mbps compared to a 20Mbps connection. Been there, done that.
My fastest LPM was at home with my quadcore and a regular cable connection.
I would say the biggest lesson I have learned is you must have at least 2Gb RAM, and a decent processor. These days, almost all vps's have good processors, so the challenge is to get enough RAM.
I swear all guys are the same. We want the fastest pc's, and the biggest big screens, lol. You don't need the fastest system to run SER, but you can't run it on an old, slow or weak system. You want something in the middle with enough RAM.
And to be honest I've seen people claiming they run it on 1GB machines, and it wasn't only 1 guy who claimed that lol...
How many threads I should be able to run on it?
Threads is done by eye
What I always do after any update is use resource manager
Run that, watch the cpu. Keep the cpu making a nice wave and not flat lined to its max
Some releases I have run ser at 300 threads, others 180 threads with no changes to any settings
If your looking for a good deal on a vps, wait until the Americans have a vacation
You normally get the software deals fill your email in box about the time
Then check out the VPS suppliers, some do half price deals
The company I use, I missed out on 50% off at such a time. A day later I got a 40% off deal
A little trick, some people miss
Ron, should be able to give some insight into the dates they have the national holidays on
Well, Labor Day is coming up in 2 weeks, and that's a big sale day for retailers.
By the way, you will be lucky if you can fill up 4 TB of bandwidth.
I just had to pay my vps bill and checked my monthly bandwidth used whilst on there
Max: 8 TB Used: 1.88 TB Available: 6.12 TB
As some know, I don't mess about with ser, I push it to its limits most days
That's doing up to 300,000 submissions on a good day, 7 days a week
300,000 submissions at how many computers - configuration?
Sorry just curious :-)
300,000 a day on a single vps running ser and cb
I have shared how to do it plenty of times on these forums
4 core cpu on the vps, 6 gig of and 100mbt connection.
Nothing special
Price is very fair too.
The interface via remote desktop is laggy when SER is running. I use 125 theads and depending on what it is doing it is either bouncing up to 100% or pegged at 100%. It sees up to about 50-60 lpm (but often lower) with my usage.
