I've got a question about VPS's. I'm looking to purchase one, but I'm not sure which to get. What I'm looking for, however, is one that stays powered on 24/7, even if I'm not logged into it.

For example, I want to run my RuneScape bot and my bitcoin miner (assuming they allow this) on the VPS. After it's set up, I want to be able to log off, come back DAYS later, and still see the bot and bitcoin miner running.

I had a chat with a representative of one of the VPS companies I was looking into. They said that there's a chance that the programs would exit out if I were to log out of the VPS, and that I should learn how to make the programs a "Service". This is what stumped me. So what I interpreted from this was, all applications are exited out to save resource? Is this only a specific type of VPS? Or does this feature depend on the company I'm purchased the VPS from?

So anyway, it seems to me that KVM and OpenVZ are the most common VPSs out there. Not sure which to choose to suit my needs... but any help is appreciated :)

Thanks guys!!

In windows when you log off all applications that where running will terminate. But if you disconnect instead everything will keep running, until it goes into standby/sleep
You will have to disable that, if possible

Ah! My bad, I used the wrong word. I mean to Disconnect from the VPS, not log off. Thanks for the correction DB.
