Hardware requirements
You can use these formulas to get minimal requirements:
For a single LinkedIn account | For N LinkedIn accounts (N - number of simultaneously running LinkedIn accounts) | |
RAM, Gigabytes free | 2.5 | 0.5 + 2 × N |
CPU real cores, free | 0.5 - 1 | From 0.5 × N to 1 × N |
HDD / SSD free space, Gigabytes |
4 | 2 + 2 × N |
Renting remote server
If your PC is not powerful enough to handle all LinkedIn accounts you want to manage, you can rent a server in order to run Linked Helper there. You can get certain advantages such as:
- No interruptions. Linked Helper's work will not be affected by the PC failures, electricity blackouts, issues with your ISP, etc.
- 24/7 availability from any part of the world. All you need is a laptop with an internet connection.
- You can give access to the remote server to your colleague/boss in case he/she needs to check your performance rate or change the workflow and add new prospects to the Queue while you are on vacation leave.
- You can rent a much more powerful machine than the one you currently work on and run more LinkedIn accounts than your PC can handle.
You can find complete instructions on setting up a remote server, either VPS or dedicated self-managed server in this article - How to install Linked Helper on a VPS / dedicated server
In case you`re planning to rent a server for managing multiple LinkedIn accounts, please, consider buying a dedicated server, not VPS (Virtual Private Server). It is possible that you will get only ~20% of the real capacity from your hardware if you choose VPS.
I'll give you an example: our software was hosted on a VPS and we had occasional drop downs as if it was overloaded. Therefore, on VPS the results were 4 times worse than on the dedicated server, yet the latter was 2 times less powerful than the former. At the same time, for few (1 - 3) LinkedIn accounts VPS may suit as well.
As an example of the above-mentioned services:
Dedicated hosting:
The configuration in the screenshot below is able to handle 11 LinkedIn accounts running at the same time:
The dedicated server from InterServer can manage up up to 23 accounts at the same time. Here is the link to InterServer website.
VPS: Ionos VPS
For managing one LinkedIn account:
For managing three LinkedIn accounts:
You can try the software for free during 14 days - download it and activate a free trial.
