hi all, ive just got a new 128mb vps which i'm using for a secondary name server. I have installed Debian 6 64bit minimal install (overkill for small ram but just to keep everything the same ) and noticed upon first update it had apache2 installed. I have been using the create your own DNS tutorial: http://www.howtoforge.com/how-to-ru...and-secondary-with-ispconfig-3-debian-squeeze but just for adding to my existing server running ispconfig 3. What im wondering is, would i be ok to remove Apache from the name-server box without it messing anything up also what else would you recommend to remove or tune up? cheers matt
dont remove pache, just stop it so it does not use resources: /etc/init.d/apache2 stop update-rc.d -f apache2 remove
128mb of ram is plenty for basic web, mail, etc. My first VPS was 32mb and over the years linode has upgraded me so I now have 1gb ram for my $20/mo. Transfer has gone from 200mb to 2tb, and cpu speed has gone up. But I still create LOTS of 32mb and 64mb servers in virtualbox to set up lab exercises for my students. They work fine.
