Hotswap TX

I gave ol' GReaper a poke, see if he has any recommendations for East coasters.

update:
[12:15] <@GReaper> I would be more than happy to recommend a east coast host, Seymuffin!
[12:16] <@SeymourGore> Thanks G-Bear!

in texas both west coasters and east coasters can share with decent even pings.. east coast server excludes west coasters :(
 
Alright thanks Tri.

Going to get the VPS from linode tonight, I've never used a VPS nor their Linode manager prog so i'll most likely be back with questions.
 
Alright, so i started to look around and found a VPS from cubixcloud.com for less then $7 a month with:

Buffalo VPS nodes are hosted at ColoCrossing in Buffalo, USA.
Intel Xeon Quad-Core E3-1230V2 @ 3.30Ghz or
Intel Quad-Core i7 950 @ 3.06Ghz
16-32 GB DDR3 RAM
RAID 1 Storage
1Gbps Network Connectivity

768MB RAM
50GB Disk
500GB Bandwidth
Linux
OpenVZ + SolusVM
1000Mbps Network

Like i said before i have no clue when it comes to VPS related *chocolate cookies*, my biggest concern at this point is what OS to run.

CentOS 6
Ubuntu 11.10
Fedora 15
Slackware 10.2
Debian 6.0

If someone could tell me what is ideal for a server for legions to run well that would help, because im not even sure what a servers transfer rate is. I imagine it's small but i really don't know.
 
I would personally recommend Debian, but I'm not an expert when it comes to server hosting. The popular distros seem to be Debian or CentOS for personal server hosting, and for the specific case of Legions Debian would be a better choice in my opinion. Here's a good post explaining why.

tl;dr
Debian is put together by a community of volunteers rather than having the backing of any commercial organisation. This means that new versions of Debian are released when the community regards them as ready for public use rather than when shareholders expect a release. The benefit of this approach is that stable releases of Debian tend to be very solid.​
...​
In summary, if you have no specific need for an RPM based solution - use Debian - the software is solid, they have a good security track-record and management of the system is easy once you learn how to use the tools. If you have a need for an RPM solution or plan on working with Red Hat at some stage in the future, use CentOS.​

GReaper would be able to give a much better explanation of which to use and why. He has set up our servers to use Debian Squeeze 6.0.​
 
Bandwidth slightly exceeds 200gigs every month. Though this is only because the hotswaps are quite populated compared to other servers.
