Please guys.
I need some pointers from the big shots here on LET. (keep in mind I'm a 29 years old Industrial designer, with expertise on CAD modeling and furnisher manufacturing, so, be patient.
Ok, here we go,
I kust rented las week an OVH.ca server (http://www.ovh.es/servidores_dedicados/kemsirve.xml) model KS-R8G.
1- First of all i would love some pointers on basic security, like running Proxmox web panel on local host and proper iptables config. (i don't want your security precious secrets just the basics (not fail2ban, tripwire or harden-servers, i can look that myself) i mean the known secrets of the trade :-)
2- Need a way to closely monitor VPS activity (overload, bandwidth, etc)
3- what kind of virtualization you recommend? keep in mind this are private VPS, and if the user asks for 1gram, he should get it no matter what. (total dedicated resources, and that mean CPU cap if he becomes a *dick, Because friends and coworkers can become dicks too. (certainly!!)
4- I asked for my 4 free ip fail overs. This IPS can be used to bind to the VPS?
Y really, really, really hope to get some help :D
PD: looking for open source VPS managers, and it seems the most developed is Promox. if you know something better and free ping me.
