Simple VPS Question

[derangedyeti]

Okay so my friends and I are planning to make a server we have been hosting live (minecraft). And we are debating on letting a Minecraft Server hoster make a pre set one for us. Or to just actually buy a VPS and start it from scratch <--- will be harder and take longer. Thoughts?

watch out, if you ask a question, people rage/flame you.

Darn, people are flaming left and right.

It's not hard buying a VPS and setting it up, I've done it.

Setting up vps is easy, read this guide http://www.powerbot.org/vb/showthread.php?t=638521&highlight=installation can be done within 15 minutes without much sweat. Best of luck!

So how was adding that contributing to the thread either? -.-
OP, a vps is not very hard to set up, (get a linux one! ) and it just requires a small amount of patience and then you're all set

I know how to setup a VPS, I am asking if I should be buying a pre-set one for minecraft or a plain VPS.

DO NOT get a managed server.

Setting up VPS is this easy...

login to the vps
wget whatevertheshityouwant
java -Xms|ram| -Xmx|ram| -jar whatever.jar nogui

Yay!

Crayo, no need to be so mean.. It's just because I know pretty much nothing. If I can do it, anyone can.
