What type of VPS is valid for hosting an RSPS?

[Dervie]

I'm considering investing some money into running an RSPS, though I'm not sure if I should purchase a Linux or Windows VPS. Although I'm sure you can host it on a Windows VPS (correct me if I'm wrong), can't you do it on a Linux VPS? As it is a tad cheaper.

I believe you have to be using a linux OS to use a Linux VPS.

I'd be using CentOS if anything, as I already have a VPS in standings as I also use it to bot.

No, you can use PuTTy or another SSH client. And yes, you can use a Windows VPS (best option for people who don't know how to use terminal).

Yeah, I have a hard time navigating with terminal, I guess I'll go with Windows VPS. Thanks.

You will need atleast 1024mb RAM, anything lower and it won't be able to run the server without any lagg.
Make sure your host has ddos protection, because some RSPS's just take down others for their own gain..

I am running on a 1Gbps line so my server almost never laggs.
My host also has over 10 years of experience with hosting vps's and dealing with ddos attacks.
It does cost $49.99 a month though..

$49.99 a month is not much, I guess. I'll take it into consideration as soon as I learn some things about RSPS'.
