Amazon on virtual machines
 

I never had a az account on a virtual machine. Being how I want to start traveling for long periods of time. Carrying 4-5 laptops seems crazy. As for a virtual machine, how many can I run on one laptop. What kind of ram,processsor etc would I need. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Amazon on virtual machines
 

i have 50 amazon accounts on 50 vmware in "1" single laptop all the time.

Re: Amazon on virtual machines
 

May I ask the specs of the laptop, how much ram, what kind of processor, what size HD etc.

Re: Amazon on virtual machines
 

How would you get 50 bank accounts?:nono:

Re: Amazon on virtual machines
 

If you plan on operating multiple virtual machines, say less than 10 shops, get yourself a SSD drive.

i5+ and SSD with good ram and you'll be cruising

If you're going to be using more shops, get a larger SSD drive, i7, max ram etc

Also, having 20 shops on a VMWare isn't insane or nuts.....running all 20 at the same time might. I run all my ebay, and other selling platforms on VMWare....but I only really have 1-3 VMWares open at any given time.

Also, I run OS's that are not going to need a lot of resources. This may drive some people nuts but Windows XP will do the job. Some say, but what about security? wtf...I'm not going onto Porn sites, or trying to do some weird ****.....I don't run any Antivirus, not had a problem.

i have a BOA business account :)), so i can create 50 saving account without problem

Just experienced a problem with my VPN provider. They stopped the service because they said I had a virus. So I checked and indeed one of my VM's got infected.

Be careful when running Win XP without antivirus. I have accessed, gmail, ebay, etsy and amz only. And 2 of my win XP VMs had a virus. The host machine and the other guests weren't infected. Win 7 and win vista no problems.

:focus:

On a decent laptop 10 VMs are absolutely no problem, especially if you acces the one after another. :thumb:

Re: Amazon on virtual machines
 

That would be classed as highly suspicious!

Re: Amazon on virtual machines
 

Don't know, so far i have no problems with BOA , but who know what lie in the future.

Re: Amazon on virtual machines
 

Thank you for the tip. Which type of business account is it with boa? I saw a couple different types. Does each savings or checking account come with a CC also?

Re: Amazon on virtual machines
 

You can have many account run on VPS 1account/1VPS.

Re: Amazon on virtual machines
 

That won't go well if you don't know what you're doing, you're easily vulnerable to linkage.

Re: Amazon on virtual machines
 

Wow! that must be a lot of hard drive space taken up. I read on here, each VM is about 10gb each. So you have 5 terabytes? wow!

Re: Amazon on virtual machines
 

They shouldn't be that big, you can custom make them to have the minimum requirements

Also depends on the operating system you're using, some significantly smaller than others

Re: Amazon on virtual machines
 

just use linuxs, they are very light

Re: Amazon on virtual machines
 

I prefer linux as well for the speed/small size but gotta realize your fingerprint is pretty unique using linux, just keep that in mind if you plan on having many stores

Re: Amazon on virtual machines
 

I use a macbook pro with VmWare, and have a SSD for my live accounts I am in and out of on a regular basis, and just an 8 TB external for keeping all of my historical, accounts in process on etc. Your really never going to have more than 1 account open at any time, and if you gives 2-4 cores, and 4 gb of ram to Windows 10 it runs great.

Re: Amazon on virtual machines
 

As Beautiful mentioned - be aware if you'll need a lot of accounts with using just Linux.

It's an OS used mostly by 'hacker-friendly' people and tech enthusiasts.
Windows/Mac are however more general public.

So I'd rather mix it up with Windows in some ratio, like 6 windows machines, 1 linux. Or etc. ;)

Re: Amazon on virtual machines
 

umm when you create the account you used the same ein for each of the different saving account ein?

Re: Amazon on virtual machines
 

So far as I know Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (EC2) is the Amazon Web Service you use to create and run virtual machines in the cloud with at least 7 virtual machine

Re: Amazon on virtual machines
 

The bank account is fine, but what about the ID?
