I'm happy Xen is multi-threaded, thanks for telling me something I didn't know. However, if multi-core power may be used then saying the using the amount of cores and clock speed (which no one can find) as a selling-point is superfluous and possibly misleading. Normally you'd give someone the totally processing power available to him, such as this:
https://order.server4you.com/pages/vserver/index.php (Platinum X4)

Certainly no processor is tuned at 10GHz. We're not getting all the details about this VPS; I'm not doing anything incorrect.

You can't do a straight up comparison of a Xen virtual server and a dedicated resource. Go read the Xen manual if you'd like to get a greater understanding, it's really quite interesting.

Since, according to your description of Xen's prioritization and multi-threading, it's not the core frequency but the total processing power (which may be changed according to configuration) that matters, I can conclude that the core frequency shouldn't be a selling point. They tell you it can use 3 cores; don't we need the frequency to figure out the power he's getting? Wtf is wrong with you?

Yes but you can't use it as a direct comparison. Two virtual machines on the same host hardware with the same domain CPU scheduling and core numbers won't necessarily achieve the same performance.

You attacked me and claimed I was ignorant right after I requested a clock speed:

Kalphiter yet again showing he doesn't understand virtualization.

They can be compared because they're supposed to be minimum, guaranteed performance values. The average power available to a VPS of a certain size is most likely calculated by someone.

Saying I have "three cores" to use without providing an average or guaranteed power can result in these two extremes: I may get 3 cores tuned at 1.8GHz, giving me 5.4GHz of power, or with a frequency of 3.6GHz giving me 10.8GHz of power.

Of course that doesn't include if it's shared and by how much, so it's really not clear at all what the VPS host is offering.

Sorry to interupt your amazing conversaton here, but how can I run a program made on and for ubuntu on debian though the console?
I thought I could just do:
$/folder/that/its/in/applicationname
But it says 'no such file or directory'

[Rub]

cd to the directory then ./file.sh or whatever.

[DrenDran]

cd to the directory then ./file.sh or whatever.

[Rub]

./luawebserver

[DrenDran]

./luawebserver

Permission denied.
At least it's different.
Let me make sure it's root.

[Rub]

chmod +x luawebserver

[DrenDran]

chmod +x luawebserver

Worked.
But I needed to install the sdl dependences...
...so I did that.
Then I needed to install the sdl_net dependences...
...done.
Then I needed to install the lua dependences...
...so I typed in apt-get install liblua*

And well, I'm still waiting for it to download things.
Apparently it's getting hundreds or thousands of packages. Maybe I should have been more specific.

[DrenDran]

Okay, so I can't seem to run anything I compile on ubuntu.
Think I'd be better off buying a ubuntu server when I do?

Hello Nathan,

We are currently experiencing a capacity issue in Chicago on our Xen nodes. We hope to have these resolved very shortly.

You are correct in understanding that usually we setup VPS's instantly, I apologize that we weren't able to do this at present.

We will update you with an email once your VPS is up and online.

Thanks!

In otherwords, my order should be here very soon, and it's basically the same service I had before it went down.
So, starting completly anew, what should I host?

[Nethog]

tekkit lite or just tekkit idc

[TheChaosCarrier]

Tekkit.
With some major anti-greifing measures.
