how to make a VPS? - Onfroi - 04.07.2013

How can I create a VPS out of a PC I have that I don't use anymore? I've been looking for a tutorial for a while but haven't found anything useful. If anyone knows a good tutorial please comment it

Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

What you're looking for is a hypervisor. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hypervisor
There are different ones out there, each with their own pros and cons.

Just a suggestion, just because you want to use your old PC and turn into a VPS. If that works think about the internet speed you might need. and other stuff.

If you're wanting to use windows, use hyper-v.

If you want to turn your PC into a simple server, just install a server OS on it like Windows Server or a GNU/Linux distribution like Debian or Red Hat. You can also use a "normal" Windows but you won't have as much tools as Windows Server.

If you want to have multiple VPS on a single PC, you need to get a virtualization software or OS. It depends what you want to do. As written in the wikipedia article that DaRealShazz gave you, you have two types of virtualization :

Use VMware virtual player and open the right ports and you have a bit of the same..

Hyper-V doesn't work on all Windows versions, he needs to be running Windows Server 2008 R2+,
or Windows 8 64-Bit.

And hardware assisted virtualization.


And as far i read he said "old PC" so i don't think he would be able to run Hyper-V.

Actually, there is a free version of Hyper V for Both 2012 and 2008 R2. They must be 64bit, and yes It does use hardware assisted virtualization, but most hypervisors use that.. You could also use VM Ware's ESXi.. But like a previous post said, your best bet is just to install a server os on the pc, whether it be windows or linux, is up to you...
