Topic : Selecting a server: 2 questions


Posted By: fernando_barajas on September 7, 2022, 2:10 pm
Hi! 

a) I'm evaluating options to buy (rent/lease) a server to try Virtualizor.  Any suggestions?  Where can I rent a bare-metal server for 1 or 2 months for testing purposes?

b) One of my options is OVH.  If I buy with them, I can get a server with 2 disk arrays: one 2x512G SSD and one 2 x 4TB HDD.  If I choose to use that, how can I use the SSD for a faster server?  Can virtualizor use it for some kind of cache?  Any other use?  Or should I go for a server with no SSD?

Thanks!

For KVM slave you can separate the SSD storage and SATA storages into different volume groups to create more versatile slave, being able to create VPS with SSD or with SATA depending on which storage is defined during creation.

Thanks, good Idea, I'll try that!
