Hi.
I notice I seem to have a 32bit VM. Or, at least, I have a 32bit OS
installed.
Does bitfolk offer 64bit VPSes? How do I get it setup?
I'm afraid only 32bit virtual machines are supported at the moment.
This is just to make life easier for us, but with the low amounts of
RAM in the typical VM they should actually be faster as 32bit for
most purposes.
Is there a particular reason that you need a 64bit install?
There's an open feature request for 64bit support here:
https://tools.bitfolk.com/redmine/issues/27
Please do log in (usual credentials) and vote it up if you'd like to
see it implemented.
I can see it happening in due course as it seems that the
architecture is a bit simpler than i386 and actually has fewer
quirks. Also VM memory footprints are getting larger.
Cheers,
Andy
