Ultimate Plex VPS Step 2: Choosing a Linux Distro They also have a vCloud option that does not list the fair share use on the port I may test out as well. Their speed is not quite the same and they say it’s a fair share access port. I have moved over to try another provider to see how they go called Direct Space who has KVM SSD options. While they stated unmetered bandwidth they constantly traffic shaped my systems down to 15Mbit/s with no explanation. NOTE: As of July I have since dropped the original provider. The reason for this is when you connect to Google Drive your data will use double bandwidth for the pull from Google Drive and the push to the client, passing through the PLEX Server as a proxy. I personally tried about 5-6 different ones and the real problem is finding one at a decent price that also includes Unlimited Bandwidth. There is literally hundreds of options out there. Ultimate Plex VPS Step 1: Choosing a Provider (UPDATED) I’ve done this so many times and had so many notes it was high time to consolidate them. You really can’t start the VPS build until you get your media uploaded which is the longest part to wait for. I decided to use Google Drive for my media library storage so once it all was uploaded initially and setup to sync twice daily from my master library on premises this build process could start. I set out to build something myself on a Virtual Private Server (VPS) and decided to document the build after a couple tries that landed me on something that worked well. While PLEX Pass gets you a Plex Cloud server, to be honest, the implementation has been less that stellar since its release. The one challenge I have had thus far is providing a decent server that my friends can access without the limitations of my upstream bandwidth. It’s no surprise that so many people use PLEX these days.
