general

Pays for itself in 4 months

i made my pc 4 years ago too, so i bet similar specs would be much cheaper now

Its basically adding more ram makes prices go insane for no reason, like 16gb of ram really isnt that expensive

Not to mention all of these servers are running a fuckload of mc servers at once, you will never find dedicated hardware

8gigs of ram is about

50 USD right?

or are ram prices higher than i rememebr

way more now

like a stick of ram

really?

easy

53 usd

blame coinmining for stupid prices

I stand corrected I guess, genuinely thought you'd have a hard time finding decent DDR4 RAM for under $10 a GB

You try and find a server with 32gb of ram and youre gonna pay stupid amounts

I'm finding a lot of DDR4 8gb ram for around 50-70

so its about what i thought it was

32 is just overkill Reggie

12 is overkill

for servers?

Yes

Oh

I think 8 is probably fine

maybe a bit too much

depends

You only need 6-8 for modded

I think 8 is a very good number when it comes to ram in general

Reggie i'm playing with one person

Then 1

I think probably 2-4 is enough

really?

sorry one person + me

Just find a good cpu

Ram doesnt matter much

1-2 is fine

Isn't

ram everything for a modded mc server

See

Do you have any webhosts/vps hosts you like then?

Hm okay

As long as you

Pregenerate the map a bit

Its really not taxing on the server

Was planning on loading a lot yeah

I do that in singleplayer too

makes it much less laggy

Modded runs better than vanilla

At least for me

Not server wise.

Well ya

Modded runs worse for me. Though, I technically never play vanilla and always use optifine

Its slightly heavier server side but its not that taxing

Optifine boosts my fps by about 250%

So you think 2gb is enough for 2 people modded?

Server wise.

We're going to live together so same chunks will be loaded.

Should be unless modded mc has gotten ridiculous in the last year or so since i last played

hm

See, I was going to opt for 4

but if you think 2 would work

will a 2.4GHz processor handicap us too much, or should I find a different host then.

Uh

Most other servers I saw all did 2.4Ghz processors too

So I assumed it was fine

Minecraft based servers*

I mean they will be xeons

So all low speed

This is just a VPS

Yea

so this would work? https://i.imgur.com/g7508iM.png

If not then it's fine.

Oof, if that means 1 core then no

alright

You might have to go with 4 just to get better cpu options

I've been searching alot tonight, and it's either: Overpriced garbage No lowend options

Pretty much

and I don't want to go with "Minecraft" options really because they're even more overpriced and they don't give me full control

Also, from what I read aren't MC servers only able to use 1 core

I thiiiink they managed to get them up to 4?
