In Part 1 of this series on virtual private servers (VPS), we looked at the rationale behind going virtual. In this installment, we take you through some of the details involved in getting up and running.
As you might imagine, your VPS experience all starts with an account. Whichever service you want, you first establish an account. Some hosts may require a separate confirmation stage even after a credit card number is validated. This is clearly to prevent spammers, phishers, and crackers from setting up VPSes using a stolen (but not yet reported or discovered) credit card.
Rackspace says it will call you to confirm within 15 minutes of setting up an account. However, in setting up two accounts, I wasn't called in either case. In the first, an emergency, I called after an hour or so, and stayed on the line for tens of minutes to get activated. In the second, a test setup for this article, I was never called (I let the account remain dormant).
