22 Chapter 4. BUILDING THE VPS 22

23 $10 = 1 CPU, 1GB, 30GB Cheaper plan is just too small. 1GB is enough for moderate use but will not allow Solr and memory use will be ~ MB active 2GB would raise MySQL cache, allow for Solr (~200MB) and leave some room for more performance. 4GB is expensive -> Dedicated 23

24 INSTANCE BUILD: DEBIAN 7 32BIT Debian: 6 or 7 Ubuntu CentOS FreeBSD Darwin/Mac? some exotic? 32 bit No need for less than 4GB 64 bit Imperative if you have more than 4GB 24

25 SUPPORTED LTS OS 32/64BIT MINIMAL ON SERVER OR DESKTOP ON LOCALHOST Debian 7 Wheezy (recommended) Debian 6 Squeeze (fully supported with automatic upgrade to Wheezy available) Ubuntu Trusty (limited support) Ubuntu Precise (limited support) Ubuntu Lucid (limited support) 25
