How does lowendspirit work?

hostnoob

I mean since you don't get an IPv4 address. Is it like shared hosting, do you point your domain to their (shared) IP, and then some software points it to your VPS?

That's pretty much the gist of it. I believe they use nginx or varnish for proxying requests to the correct VPS, based on the hostname.

You get allocated a unique block of ports on the main server IP.

If you want to host something on lowendspirit, you might also look into using cloud flare to proxy against your IPv6 address to bypass the NAT.

Thanks guys. I actually have no use for another VPS at the moment... but I will probably buy 1 or 2 tomorrow anyway

if u got no use, can u try setting up an asterisk voip installation and test if it works. I'd be interested in the results.

You can compare the network setup @ lowendspirit with your home network.
A bunch of machines using the same external ipv4 ( you do get your own dedicated ipv6 ) with 20 ports (over ipv4) forwarded to your server.

HAProxy is used to forward web requests to your server (no SSL available at this moment)

@asterisk14 if you can run it at home and you don't need specific ports I can't see why not.
