Vps

[ebaysuck]

Hello what is fair price for a good VPS ? and can I use shared (cheaper) VPS to manage ebay/amazon/paypal accounts or I'll get in trouble?

Of course you would not consider sharing and being a cheapskate.

Always have your own dedicated access to any selling platform.

Never share.

Your idea of fair and mine would differ.

I see price ranges from $10 up to hundreds my fair is $10

And is the 256 MB of DDR3 15 GB of SSD Storage 1x 3.40 GHz CPU would be enough to manage the accounts ?
Thank you

You need to make sure you get a static Dedicated IP and use a reliable company that is not overused

It's not an option I would take.

But I suggest you look carefully at the signature of the poster above me.....

Just bought a VPS from somewhere buffalo NY for $5 a month its got Windows Server 2003 Standard (x86) with 525 ram 2.11 Ghz and 20gb space. and I can tell you it freaking sucks ... so slow can freaking scroll down or up normally Ebay webpage can't operate like that.What are the minimum requirements I should look for maybe its just old 2003 windows server like that and I should upgrade to 2012 one ?
Thank you

What would you expect for 5 bucks? A decent Windows VPS will cost you around 20 usd per month. If you plan to do a lot of stealth, your personal dedicated server is a must.

How can I set up a personal dedicated server to be able to create domains that I can log into from inside the server virtually?

Is it possible to do this?

Please dont believe what this person is saying about a dedicated server is a must. I run a lot of stealths and their definitely not on a dedicated server, lol. No disrespect to this member, but i just hate seeing false information.

why pay for an IP address when they are free. Like Phone Tethering? or altering mac address ???

whats the advantage? especially if it doesnt HAVE to be dedicated?

[RosieTosie]

Yes it does SilentHill, otherwise it would be you and possibly hundreds of others all using same ipaddress, you don't think ebay/PayPal might notice that?, in which case it would be bye bye to your accounts. If you want the best most secure way of operating stealth accounts you can't go cheap, you HAVE to pay for it.

it should be very VERY RARE. for someone to come acroos my IP address while using my home internet and different Router Mac addresses.
this to me seems impossible.



I said it doesn't HAVE to be dedicated because of what thready said.

I honestly see it more beneficial to have a STATIC VPS.

More and more people are ending up on this forum after thinking they can make mistakes and their will be no comeback for those mistakes on their accounts, they get accounts linked and then wonder why they lose them, thready's comment about dedicated VPN's not being essential is at best naive, at worst any one who follows that advice coukd lose their accounts!

Get a Static IP per ebay account.
Multi task on multiple ebay accounts at the same time.
No need to keep ip logs
Its really cheap
I don't have to connect and disconnect every time i want to access another ebay or paypal account.

Just a few things that came to mind.

Why is my message naive?
I did my homework.
My accounts been up over a year and a half now.

I only lost 1 account and it wasn't because of being linked via images, products, ip, account details, etc. It was because a product I sold had a high defect rate so they stopped letting me sell. They warned me but I was trying to get rid of it. Even though I fully refunded my buyers the defect rate was too bad on that item. It cost me my account.

Thats a bit naive for you to say such a thing without knowing what I know about stealth.

Clearly you don't know the difference between VPS and a dedicated server.

[RosieTosie]

You comment about VPN's not needing to be dedicated was quite naive thready, you already had one person reposting your sentiment then admitting they had done it because you had!, people are of course free to make up their own minds anyway, but as you already have lots of accounts maybe wiser to be little more careful about statements that may be adopted by new members of the forum who still have a great deal to learn.

Where did i ever even used the acronym VPN? Please point that out.

In case a member is unable to read my messages properly, I will try to make it clear in this message.


I DO NOT RECOMMEND USING A VPN TO CONNECT TO YOUR EB OR PP ACCOUNTS

vps is good though.

I have GREAT IDEA ! Why don't you guys just use the TOR network?

IT'S FREE!!!

You will LOSE YOUR ACCOUNTS, but it is FREE!!!


VPS's CAN be used successfully. But if you want a Windows VPS, be prepared to pay $20 or $30 per month. Make sure that an IP is dedicated to your account! And, avoid the well-known providers and the $5 wonders - eBay/PayPal/Amazon know the IP address ranges of the popular providers and will shut you down. The $5 wonders go out of business unannounced and then you are left scrambling to find a replacement and the changes put your account at risk. And the $10 Windows VPS's are mostly using UNLICENSED (illegal) software. When they get shut down, do you want to kiss YOUR account bye-bye as well?

COME ON PEOPLE! Have some common sense! If you are going to do this AND you want it to WORK you need to PAY a reasonable amount of money for it! Because the old adage "you get what you pay for" is TRUE. If you go into stealth with the idea that everything must be had FOR FREE, you might as well give up right now, because you are SETTING YOURSELF UP FOR FAILURE! Seriously!

Full respect for JW!

Although I do believe with knowledge (doing your homework) it will save you money.

Yes, you CAN save money. EVERY business looks to minimize it's costs, and I am no exception. But minimizing costs at the expense of account safety is just stupid.

A good eBay account can pull in up to $5,000 per month in sales once it is fully up and running. Do you want to potentially lose that account because the $5 VPS wonder you chose suddenly went out of business with no warning? Or, because you wanted to save the $10 per month it costs to maintain a working phone number?

Expect to pay between $20 and $30 per month for a GOOD VPS and a working phone number. If you want to save money, then LEARN LINUX! Anything less than that is a SERIOUS RISK TO YOUR ACCOUNT!
