Bennyh789 Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 Evening MWG members, I have recently started up my game again however I am looking for a reasonably priced host that allows 1 minute crons. Can anyone recommend any? Thanks Ben Quote
KyleMassacre Posted November 5, 2015 Posted November 5, 2015 You can try Digital Ocean <- Yes its a referral link Quote

rulerofzu Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Why would it be any more difficult as its a VPS? I use a VPS setup was no different. Quote
~Rob0t Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 Why would it be any more difficult as its a VPS? I use a VPS setup was no different. Because without installing a GUI (Plesk, cPanel, webmin, etc) you need to do everything via SSH. So no spoon-feed-me GUI to set up your crons. Also, crontab in vi is just slaughter. Quote
SRB Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 spoon-feed-me It has a spoon-feed-me community though - should help with crons on their servers Quote
~Rob0t Posted November 6, 2015 Posted November 6, 2015 It has a spoon-feed-me community though - should help with crons on their servers Absolutely, which is great. DigitalOceans community tutorials are pushed through review though, so it's more professional advice than it is random-joe's giving shitty advice. Though the set-up is different than to a server with a server management GUI, like cPanel. Quote

So you have to do a lot of things via command line. Crontab can be a nightmare if one you aren't used to command line, two you aren't used to UNIX commands and three because it's just genuinely horrible to try do lol. Quote
rulerofzu Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Unless you order a GUI at the time the majority of VPS come without one unless its a German provider! Although there is free easy to install ones out there. Centos web panel is quite a good one, Froxlor or Webmin. I am more of a nano person as I hate vi. Easier to work with. Lock down that SSH on a different port with key only access and work by console. I work a lot using ssh just find it quicker and easier to implement changes or something new into code live on the server. Especially as on some of my sites I use xml to drop it into the main code so dont actually edit the main code. Crontab isnt that hard. I find a lot of people shy away from working on servers as they fear they will break it. Quote
KyleMassacre Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 This can probably help out with a lot of things that has to do with SSH. Quote
