Release Notes - 32-bit Virtual Machine Templates

There are 32-bit templates available for the Virtual Machine in the Cloud hosting plans. These plans are for customers who need to use applications that are known to be memory intensive, but for various reasons do not need the resources of a large plan.

The 32-bit version of the CentOS 5 operating system uses less memory overall than the 64-bit version of CentOS 5, which means that more memory is available for your applications. This can provide better performance if you are on a smaller plan, typically one with less than 1024 MB of RAM.

With the 32-bit templates, you can easily upgrade your resources if you find yourself outgrowing your original plan. Please see the User Guide: Upgrade/Downgrade for more information.

If you have already set up a Virtual Machine using a 64-bit template, and want to move to a 32-bit template, please contact Billing for more information. A new VM will be created for you, and you will need to move your site and data to the new VM. If desired, eApps Support can do the move for you as a billable service.

If you have just purchased a Virtual Machine using a 64-bit template, but realize that a 32-bit template would be better suited to your needs, please contact Billing. If you have no data on the Virtual Machine, it is a simple matter to rebuild your VM with the correct template.

  • CentOS 5.x 32bit Control Panel (eApps)
