Hello All,
I am planing to rent a dedicated server to host a pet project I am working on, and a few websites (4 actually) for friends.
Isolation of services is important, and with that in mind, I was thinking along the lines of the of the following setup: - The bare metal OS, handles my main website / e-mail / DNS services. - A virtual machine to handle my pet project and all the websites (low traffic) for those friends that don't contribute towards the costs of the server (a single public IP for all the websites in this environment). - A separate VM is setup for each of the friends that contributes towards the costs of the server (each VM with a separate public IP)
The ability to set/change resource limits (CPU, RAM, disk and network I/O) would be a plus.
What OS, Virtualisation (KVM, OpenVZ, LXC) and auxiliary software (Control Panel) combination would you go for?
Sorry for such a generic question. I have played with a few technologies, and read about others, which I would like to test. Unfortunately, time is limited, so I am trying to figure out of a direction so the tests will be the most relevant.
The server spec is likely to be: - I7-4770 - 32G Ram - 2 HDD RAID1 (2TB each)
Thanks, GeorgeG
