VPS question

[Tulip]

Do I need to run my computer while my VPS is running a server? Does I need to be on?

 

[Charlie]

Depends what your using the VPS for.

If the VPS is not on your computer than you don't.

So say I run a Minecraft server on an OVH VPS, I would not need to run my computer?

Of course not?

Thanks.

Yes, your computer and your OVH VPS are connected via an ethernet active connection, if you shut down your machine, the server will detect that you have gone offline, and go into sleep mode.

Im just trollin,
A VPS is a completely separate machine that OVH hosts and will keep online 24/7.

Your laptop/desktop is not connected, and the VPS will only turn off if you log into your OVH panel, and shut it down.
Which I don't even think you can do, I believe you can only restart OVH hardware, not turn it off completely.

All you're doing when you connect to the VPS is remoting into it from your machine. So your laptop acts as the monitor, to a computer that can be anywhere in the world.

You're completely safe to turn off your machine.

It was just such a silly question, I couldn't help but joke with it.

Hahaha yeah I saw it threw you off too and then I was like "ahh.. maybe I shouldn't troll these guys.."

You were right originally though, unless your machine is also the machine that the VPS is being hosted off of, you're fine.

Thank you so much.

If you would really like to check, you can always shut down the laptop, and use your phone (if you have one) to access OVH's control panel, and see that the VPS is still online and functioning.

OVH will also email you immediately if their hardware monitoring service detects that your server is offline / shutdown.
They will then assign a technician to your VPS to figure out why it's off, and to bring it back online.

Came here to troll, but it looks like someone already did a good job. I will see myself out.

I'm gonna point out one thing. OVH doesn't keep it online 24/7. Recent fiber line cuts bro.

That can happen to anybody though, not just OVH.
Coincidentally the same day that OVH lost their fiber lines, I had a 60lb box of printer paper, in a closet, fall onto a bundle at my office and we lost 3 of our fiber lines that day. Just a yr ago a backhoe a quarter mile down the road dug some fiber up and we went offline then too.

No such thing as %100 uptime.

Does anybody know how long OVH take to setup their VPS's? I still see VPS (0) in the control panel.

It's usually within the hour.
I'd be surprised if it took longer than that.

They auto-email you when it's available.

Just got it. Do you think you can help me set up a minecraft server on it? I'm completely new to this.
