How much ram and disk do i need for the ns2 vps?

How much ram and disk do i need for the ns2 vps?
Im using my main vps for ns1 and I'm not sure how much ram i need for keeping the ns2 nameservers, whether it is 512mb or 1024mb, please let me know.

 

whats a good provider I could go to for a small budget?

 

That depends on where you are from and where you want to locate that VPS. Usually all the big providers have very similar deals. Check them out and see if one of them may have a promotion running that fits your needs

 

I've been looking, I found racknerd but they only have NA locations, my ns1 is in finland so I thought I'd get a ns2 vps in germany, if its fine to host the ns2 vps elsewhere then I can use racknerd, let me know.

 

It generaly a good idea to host ns servers at different locations. Anyways you should host them close to the userbase that is most likly using them. And be aware that hosting parts of your infrastructur in other counties may violate privacy laws depending on our county.
You may want to choose two locations within the EU if you are located in finland. Either both in finland or 1 in finland and another one near by.

 

I found layer7.net doing some good yearly plans.
I already have a pulsedmedia dedi
Going to use those both but I'm a little confused with the installation, do I need to run the auto install on both the servers?

 

Check out the guides for a multi server setup for example this one: https://www.howtoforge.com/tutorial/ispconfig-multiserver-setup-debian-ubuntu/

All the steps are explained. Make sure to read through the steps before taking any action.

 

Ive read through it a lot of times, Its confusing like why is this named panel? It literally tells me it's web01 a few steps above

 

Because the "Master Server" in a Multiserversetup usually is called "panel" within the community, as it's the one that hosts the frontend for ISPConfig e.g. the panel. And for each server you setup in a multiserver setup you have to specify which server is the master server the slave, in this case web01, should connect to.

 

Right so I still don't understand what I'm supposed to do if I want to install everything in one vps and just the ns2 on a 2nd vps. The multiserver blog doesn't explain that and it's very confusing to understand.

It explains how to install on separate vps servers but not about how to install everything in 1 vps and only the ns2 on another vps. One blog said I need to do server1 server2 but now you're saying web01 is the slave server, it's very confusing and there's no proper guide on YouTube too.

 

Hi is that all the steps? If so thank you very much. I've been reading the blogs since yesterday and I've been going nuts. Thanks a lot for telling me that.

 

Hello,
this is how my file looks like on /etc/hosts


its said to look like this


so I'm confused, what do I change here?

do I change this?
185.148.3.171 le1-3-171
cuz le1-3-171 seems to be the hostname when I check /etc/hostname

 

got it

 

don't I need to add ns2 ip in /etc/hosts of master server? if I do as per your 3 steps, then this step doesn't happen

 

The host file for all servers should follow this example

Code:

127.0.1.1 panel.fqdn.tld panel

10.10.10.10 panel.fqdn.tld
10.10.10.11 server02.fqdn.tld
10.10.10.12 server03.fqdn.tld

In the top line 127.0.1.1 always set the name for the current host your setting up e.g. localhost. Make sure to provide the correct IP for all other hosts. Don't overwrite any other default entry in the hosts file and make sure that you don't set anything twice.

 

I just installed ispconfig, is it okay to edit the hostname after installation?

 

ok I finished the part for server2/ns2, now do I need to do anything on the panel to setup these nameservers?
