Get Opensim Running On Osgrid.Org For Cheep Cheep

Get OpenSim running on OSgrid.org for cheep cheep

Inspired by that other thread which shall remain nameless - this guide is a guide, no guarantees, etc etc. Total cost can be done for$15.00/month, less if you can share with someone else.

Step 1.
Get a server account which allows you to run applications - for this guide, I'm going to assume Debian or Ubuntu Linux. A list of recommendedproviders for this, and expected performance is below:

Virtual Private Server (VPS) Hosting from TekTonic - Their Level-1 Unmanaged VPS is a steal. $15.00/month and that should give you a singlerock solid sim (you could probabaly run a couple, but that's pushing it), this is a VPS, so random performance problems could be an issue, but the people who have used this service haven't reportedany.

Dedicated Server | Windows Dedicated Servers | Server Cluster | Linux Dedicated Servers - For dedicated options, Cari are pretty decent, they have a good reputation and a lot of the otherOSgrid regions are on here, so teleports and border crossings are faster. (All the "Plaza" regions are at Cari.net). This is the better option for something which is likely to not just be a randombuilding factory or place for a tiny number of friends to congregate. The Kentsfield (Xeon Quad-Core) configuration is probably the best bang-for-buck ratio - especially for personal use.

Ordersomething, and wait until you have the login. This can take 1-2 days. Remember this guide is for Debian or Ubuntu Linux - if you pick another distro, you will need to know what you are doing. **IF YOUWANT TO MAKE LIFE EASIER, PICK A 32-Bit INSTALL**

Step 1.5.
Register an account on osgrid.org.

Step 2.
Grab PuTTY from PuTTY: a free telnet/ssh client

Connect to the IP address you weregiven, enter the username "root" (no quotes), hit enter and the password given.
