<div dir="ltr"><p dir="ltr">No argument here whether opensim can be tuned to a VPS (and vice versa); nor that such a configuration can be successfully operated providing such tuning has been performed. </p>
<p dir="ltr">That being said, most VPS are not provisioned by the end user, and are typically being selected out of an abundance of concern pursuant to cost of operations over concerns relating to performance. </p>

For this reason it has been the case that we at OSgrid, historically at least, tend to decline to support instances implemented on VPS. Of course, anyone can offer advice and opinion. YMMV.</p><p><br></p><p>Cheers</p><p><br>

I disagree with this. Aside from a driver issue, resolved a couple
years ago, I've had zero issues running my simulators under VMware
ESXI 4.1 and now 5.0. Properly sized VMs, with appropriate
resources, run OpenSim just fine.<br>
