I'll be doing is hammering on the script with fake traffic

Remember,using Fake traffic exchange sites on your vpses are prohibited from almost all of our Sponsors,
Please read each sponsor's Terms carefully before applying for those VPSs, If we found anything running into your VPSs which are not supposed to run, then we might instantly terminate your VPS without any notice, and might take some strict actions against your account(warn/ban).

On the VPS 9 it seems to indicate I can pick any location that I want? .....

Nope. You cannot pick any location you want.

You will possibly be able to choose your preferred location only if there are more than one VPS 9 available. Now because all the rest VPS 9 are taken except one (i.e.: only one VPS 9 is available for this month), there must be only one location available. But unfortunately it is not so clear which exact location is available now. That was why I somehow mentioned earlier that @perryoo11 should also include the location information in his OP.

Now I understand! Thank you both!

If it helps, I've got fine connectivity to all of them. There wasn't really a huge difference in all the US servers and the ones overseas were still reasonably fast. My ISP isn't particularly fast, but it is rock solid.

I suspect I'm going to have a whole bunch of questions, when I do get started. I've used VPSs before. This time, I'll be doing things like installing a control panel and that's going to be interesting. I'm also a daily Linux user, so that'll help. I use Linux as my desktop and have for a long time.

I suspect I'll be changing distros. Instead of using Lubuntu, I'll be using CentOS. Probably... I expect I'll build and burn to the ground quite a few times before I'm happy.

I also included that I figure I can *maybe* fit the project into a VPS 4 or 5. As it's not production, I don't much care if I have to restore frequent backups and things like that.

I expect to learn a lot with this project. I'm looking forward to it. I am going to bug you folks with so many questions!

Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

I should have been more precise with my language. By "fake traffic", I mean simulated traffic. It won't actually be traffic from an actual outside source, but will be done with load testing traffic simulation.

I apologize for not being more specific and using a poorly chosen word. It'll just be simulated traffic so that I can observe and log. From there, I can work on optimization - which is my ultimate goal.

No, I don't care about outside traffic much. I'll put a public-facing website on the server, but it's mostly just to develop on. The public facing web site will be one that I can share links to and will have references to post4vps and to the sponsor. I might actually turn it into a bit of a development blog, so I can detail my processes and what I am able to learn.

Again, sorry for the lack of precise language. I've absolutely no intentions of playing with traffic exchanges or anything like that. I don't actually expect to use much bandwidth. I expect to use more CPU and RAM, which is why I requested the VPS 9.

For Comparing the VPS Specifications, Users can have a glance at https://post4vps.com/compare/#1,3,4,5,6,9,10,11,13,14,15 (some of the vSwap Boxes are empty since I was unable to get that info from user's past posts, if any user can help in retrieving the details, I would be glad to modify the list).
NOTE: Users must read agree to all terms of the provider (of the vps which they want) before applying which can be found at our Plans Page.[/align]

@perryoo11 Doesn't look as though VPSs 13-15 are included in the comparison. Would be nice if it is possible.

I suppose you better pick out a distro first if you do not have a final decision yet.

Because VPS 9 has no control panel provided to users.

So, in case if you want to change distros later in the middle of your project, you will not be able to do it on your own and will have to wait for admins doing that for you.

By the way, feel free to ask questions if you still have, as I know many of us are willing to offer helps here. And good luck with your VPS 9 application.

LOL I so misread that. I thought I could ask and they'd install a CP! You're pretty helpful!

Yeah CentOS it is! I really should consider changing my application to a VPS 4 or 5!

I highly recommend it. Reloading the OS is the only way to "reformat/reset" the VPS and if one is doing a special project (in my case any way), sometimes when I hit a snag the only way to get out of the snag is to hit the "reset" (reload the OS) button. And for that you need a panel so you can do it yourself. Otherwise you need to submit a support request to the Admin every time.

You still have a chance to edit your application. I'd go VPS 4 or VPS 5 or VPS 9. But add into your justification section you'll need an admin panel because of the project you're doing.

I'm learning a bunch already! I have gone ahead and edited my application to request a 4 or 5.

Because I'll probably be burning it down and rebuilding it fairly often, I'm going to want a control panel. When it said "ask" I read that to mean that I could just ask and they'd install one of the control panel options for me.

I'm so glad that was cleared up! Otherwise, I'd have ended up being pretty frustrated with myself.

This is awesome. I love learning new stuff. I've used a VPS before. In fact, I have a small one on SkySilk right now, but they use a custom control panel. I've even used AWS.

You're all very helpful, and I appreciate that. I love learning new stuff. That's actually my personal goal with my project.

I'm glad to see so many providers for this month. The thing that makes me proud is VPS 5 taking part in the biggest VPS giveaway of P4V. Good luck to all applicants.
