I mean you the company which you buy the Virtual Server from sets it up for you to use etc. If you want to set up your own I heard Xen is pretty good but it's probably difficult and requires lots maintenance.

You buy a VPS.
You'll get an IP and account.
Log into your VPS with this information.
Mail your VPS Company to port forward 8078, (In case you're not able too.)
Done.

That is... if you want to use it for EO Private servers.

You use Remote desktop connection (I think most computers have it already). They should have sent you an IP and account. You type that into the box that comes up when you open RDC. Then your connected to your VPS, put your server onto it by download or (there's another way through direct harddrive, but you will have to look it up). Then just leave your server up on your VPS and then shut down RDC (It will still run).

We are thinking you are trying to set up your own vps, not connecting to it :P

Programmer, Web Developer, and Graphics Designer

i didnt even know u had to connect to it in the first place.....

Well u see all these "supposedly" tutorials on the net only say that

"vps is a virtual blha blah....."

when they should be doing tutorials for beginner users such as yours truly, ME...

a good tutorial would be

How to obtain a VPS

- Buy a VPS account

- DONT PANIC IF NOTHINGS HAPPENING (THATS WHAT I DID AND I WENT ON A FRENZY SHOPPING OF IP ADRESSES AND UNECESSARY VPS DOMAINS AND SHIT)

-Dont panic because you have to wait at least a day or so for the company to process your order

-once processed THEY WILL send you an email the following

Host

user

pass

blah blah blah

usually in a pdf?

-Take those information

- Now TO CONNECT to your vps

on your computer you should have a pre installed program called "Remote Desktop Connection"

- Search it and run it

- up pops a box

now enter necessary information from the vps company

press connect

AND TARAAAAAAA

VPS is actually another computer where you can do stuff your normal computer does except it stays on all day all ports forwarded and good connection

now feel free to install all your server files download whatever you want (Well not what ever some programs are not downloadable)

and yes you can copy and paste stuff directly off your computer to your vps computer

What I thought a vps was before

virtual private server? Oh it must be something you had to send your server to the company they run it for you and bam vps is up and your server is stable

i thought the only function was to have a stable server....
