VPS choice

My solution in this challenge was wrong. I got quite a lot problems with Contabo. After moving on dedicated server on Hetzner in Challenge 013 some my problems were solved: my uptime and produced/expected chunks ration have increased.

I have used HostAdvice to find suitable VPS solution.

Filters I used	I got

The best VPS offer I have found is Contabo because it is not only suitable but also it is the cheapest.

Suitable solution for my requirements is CLOUD VPS L and it's quite powerfull than recommended requirements.

Hardware	Chunk-Only Producer Specifications	Contabo CLOUD VPS L
CPU	4-Core CPU with AVX support	8 vCPU
RAM	8GB DDR4	30 GB
Storage	500GB SSD	800GB SSD

Total payment

My total payment was 66 USD per 3 months. It's 22 USD/month and it's the best cost with my VPS configure.

After payment we will see information to connect to VPS with usig PuTTY connect here by SSH

Creating new user

To avoid security problems we have to create user who won't super-user by default

useradd -m timur
passwd timur
> New password: # enter password
> Retype new password: # repeat password
> passwd: password updated successfully

usermod -s /bin/bash timur
sudo adduser timur sudo
> Adding user timur to group sudo ...
> Adding user timur to group sudo
> Done.
