Setting up a Cheap VPS for Virtualmin and Aegir for VPS Newbies
Aegir .4 Alpha 5 Came out last week and so I thought i would do a quick video for those VPS newbies out. Aegir really is sweet and if you are wanting to ever just test it, this is a good starting point for you.
This can be done w/ almost any linux VPS host. I chose to go with Burstnet for the screencast because they got decent reviews from web hosting forums and is DIRT cheap.
I would recommend Linode if you are looking for a good VPS host. I have a node w/ them and they have always been wonderful. Don't take my word for it, they have hundreds of reviews all over the web bragging them up.
So don't be scared... jump right in.

Part 2:
Here are my slides w/ links for the video:
- aegir /
- drupal /
- Drupal Planet /
- virtualmin /
- vps /
[...] just re-did my VPS that is located at Burstnet, the same cheap VPS I talked about before. This time around I ran into a couple of issues and decided to only use webmin instead of the [...]
Jamie,
I havent really been using my burstnet host that much since I posted this video, but the little I haved use... seems decent.
I plan on running it a lot harder this next month. My plan is to put up several (ie, 10-20) drupal sites on it, some of them aggravating sites and are more resource intensive. I am also going to be running a couple of other custom scripts that can be heavy sometimes too... I'll let you know how it goes.

Hello Peter,
Just watched your video's - thanks for the excellent info well presented. I am currently using VPSVille which I thought was quite a good deal but burst.net seems cheaper and provide more resources for the money. I know cheap isn't everything but I wondered what your experience with Burst.net has been like. How reliable have they been and would you consider them for production sites - I pretty sure drupal would thrive with more RAM etc - expecially if it is reliable.
TIA,
JamieT
