Hello, fellow minecrafters
I don't know if my question(s) belong here, but I am not aware of a better place to ask. Anyway, I am having a difficult dilemma, but I am kinda clueless of what to do. You see, I want to have my own server where I can run many of the mods that you can find in technic plus some more. The modpack I want to run is called the Yogscast Complete Pack, a fairly large modpack. The server will have maximum 5 people playing on it and they might not be online all at once. Here is where my dilemma comes to play. How much RAM do I need to run this as fluently as possible, but at the same time keep the expences to a minimum?
I have currently found a cheap host which can deliver servers with RAM ranging from 512MB up to 10GB. When I talked to one of the support people working for them, I was adviced to not choose a server below 2GB with that amount of mods and people. However, when I looked on some forums I could see people talking about having Tekkit servers with the same amount of people as I want, but they only had a server with 512MB-1GB of RAM, and that worked just fine. So, what do you guys think? Should I take the 2GB server, or will a 1GB server for half the price be more than enough?
