hi guys. im creating a reseller.

and i can host windows, linux and VPS (virtual Private Servers).

can anyone help me out with some questions.

1. it has 128 mb  of ram alowance. (i do - Reseller host)

and am allowed 20 processes (i do - reseller host)

now what are processes.

and what effect does having xx mb of ram on an account make.

i know my way round windows and Linux. but VPS baffles me a bit.

can anyone shed any light/ useful info on it

cheers in advanced

Depending on how you setup IIS, let's take Windows 2003 for example. You can have an App Pool for every site, and that means "theoretically" every site would have one worker process. now 20 sites sharing 128MB is very low if there are database operations of any significant size involved.

Just expanding a little: each site would have a seperate thread on the worker process which will store session and application level vars etc.

What vps are you using that crosses os's - or is the vps just unix? I'm familiar with virtuozzo in the unix world where a couple of hundred sites can run within 512kb. Also played with the hsphere vps at one time but found it to be buggy. Some of the larger hsphere reseller hosts have the vps feature shutdown for that reason.

Lead me not into temptation... I know the short cut, follow me.

I do the reseller thing with hsphere. The cp I use runs on redhat, but the plans are on bsd/win boxes. Always found vps to be more useful for the unix world than the windows mostly due to ssh and ftp/subftp logins but ymmv.

yea mine is set up via hsphere. but to the client it is a bare bone.. but can add webmin to their accouints for CP.

not sure if the host allows SSH, there oen packages (don't allow it). but i might be abl eto enable it. got ftp/sun accounts.. etc.
