Title: VPS mining Post by: Daily Anarchist on April 01, 2012, 05:33:01 PM I have a 2 GB RAM server with Linode. I do run a production website off of it. Is it possible to run mining software from this VPS in the background and also have it not conflict with the needs of the website?
If so, I have no idea how to mine. Any links that would point me in the right direction for what I'm looking would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

So forget it.

No, they'll just close your account. Resource abuse is a standard item on any legitimate provider's Acceptable Use Policy.
