How do you use a VPS?

[bradz93]

I've bought 2 VPSes with Ubuntu and it just looks like a command prompt.

Back when I used to bot RS07 etc. it was like I was remote controlling another computer with an interface just like a computer.


How can I find something like that? I would like to run bots on it.

Thanks.

Running Bots on a VPS has some requirements to the VPS hosting them. For example you'll need graphics acceleration, provided by (also, for example) RemoteFX for Windows2012 Server, etc. Your best bet though would be a rootserver with an i7 containing an integrated graphics. Using Ubuntu is another case, because there is no (known to me) gpu-acceleration in a virtualiezed server. And to make Honorbuddy and wow working correctly is sky-high to impossible, due to HB using a directx-hook (correct me if i'm wrong) and linux distributions only able to provide OpenGL as a graphics api. So it is suggested to get a windows machine.

You'll find more about that topic googl'ing some of the keywords in the sentence above.
