[quote="whitesites"]Ok I have a Windows 256 Meg VPS. Before anyone suggests to upgrade to a larger VPS, let me just make it clear that this is not an option ( cheap Client ). Let me first explain my setup. I have the Windows 256 VPS which is intended to run two sites. Then I have a linux builder plan which runs the MySQL DB, Smarter Stats, Smarter Mail, for the big site that is hosted on my VPS. When I first got ahold of my VPS the first thing I did was uninstall most of the crap that comes with it standard ( SQL server, and some other stuff ). But I still see alot of processes running. I am looking for ways to free up more memory for my App Pool. Right now I have capped my App Pool at 120 Megs. This works most of the time unless we send out alot of emails ( that sit in the SMTP queue in IIS ). What services can I uninstall or disable to Free up more memory? Thanks in advance![/quote]

Its pretty good for that kind of stuff. <br />You can limit all of the settings in C:\ASPCom\AspQMail\Qconfig.exe <br /> <br />This shows how to use it: <br /> <br /><a href="http://www.hostmysite.com/support/programming/aspmail/" target="_blank">http://www.hostmysite.com/support/programming/aspmail/</a> <br /> <br />There are also some html docs in C:\AspCom\AspQMail\ that go over using it. I know it has done wonders for some people. <br /> <br />If you are not processing stats, disable that too. <br /> <br />Start > Run > Services.msc <br /> <br />Smarter Stats Service -- Stop and disable (Again, if you aren't using stats) <br /> <br />-- Smarterstats web server <br />-- Smartermail Web Server -- These 2 are pointless. Really, there is no need for the smarter*web servers. This article shows how to set them up in IIS to save on resources <a href="http://www.hostmysite.com/support/vps/windows/stiis/" target="_blank">http://www.hostmysite.com/support/vps/windows/stiis/</a> <br /> <br />Make sure your asp.Net types are in different app pools. If you have a .net 1 and a .net2 site in the same pool... It will die... Fast. Separate them. <br /> <br />FTP Publishing service -- Disable that and go get Filezilla (http://www.filezilla-project.org) <br />It is WAY EASIER than IIS FTP <br /> <br />If you DO have sql installed and don't use it... Just stop the service. Uninstalling it on a VPS might not always end as expected. <br /> <br />Oh, and a Note for VPS Plus plan users ... DO NOT Put anything on the C:\ Drive. (if you have the multidrive config) <br /> <br />The C:\ on a multi-drive VPS is used stricly for windows-required files. Adding or removing things from C:\ can cause unpredictable results.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" class="spacerow"><img src="./templates/Morpheus/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="center" valign="top" class="row"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>whitesites</b></span></td> <td class="row" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/Morpheus/images/gray/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="genmed">Posted: Fri Apr 11, 2008 1:02 am<span class="gen"> </span> Post subject: What Services can I disable?</span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Ok I have a Windows 256 Meg VPS.
