I was wondering if anyone had used a Virtual Dedicated Server with a
hosting
company for their plone sites or knew about them? This is where you get
your own
Linux instance on a system shared with other users, with its own root
etc.
Companies like jumpline offer this type of arrangement using tools such
as
Virtuozzo, Sphera, Xen or User Mode Linux (UML).
Are there any gotchas with putting Plone into such an arrangement? We
are about
to move a sports club over to Plone and this looks like a good option
compared
to shared hosting, but I am concerned about performance.
What would be the memory requirements for the virtual instance running
Plone,
given that its usually not light on memory use normally? Most systems
will offer
something like 128MB burstable to some level like 256MB when load is
lighter.
To be perfectly honest with you, your time is worth more than that.
Getting Plone running on such a setup will take a lot of skill and be a
waste of time. It's not what Plone has been designed for at all.
