Duckimus Maximus Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 He already noted that he had in the past hosted locally from his house, without any lag complaints. Plus he also posted his bandwidth. If this is indeed true, and I have no reason to believe that it's not, you argument appears to be redundant.

Alectro91 Posted August 14, 2012 Author Share Posted August 14, 2012 So... I have been looking around again, but all the servers I could find seemed either sucky or too expensive. Does anyone have a good brand I can look into, or maybe a good server I can buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nicko6113 Posted August 14, 2012 Share Posted August 14, 2012 the poweredge 2950 is not made anymore however it is still a powerful machine. the only thing is its a rack mount http://www.ebay.com/itm/DELL-POWEREDGE-2950-GEN2-2-X-DUAL-CORE-3-0GHZ-4GB-73GB-10K-COMBO-PERC5-DRAC5-/170887823590?pt=COMP_EN_Servers&hash=item27c9b540e6#ht_1476wt_985 then you may want http://www.ebay.com/itm/370632768976?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1438.l2649#ht_1572wt_985 it handles whatever i throw at it wile running 4 additional windows installations in hyperv. you can put regular sata drives in it if you want more space.

Alectro91 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 This is a great find, and an awesome machine. But... It only ships in the US. I live in the Netherlands. Its kinda far to travel don't you think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VideoBoy Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 If you get a VPS, don't sign up for long term. Test them out first. A lot (and I mean the vast majority) of VPS sellers oversell their computers. Sure you get 2 or 4 or 8 gigs of RAM guaranteed, but they don't guarantee how much CPU time you get and they can give you crap in that regard. I moved my server to a VPS twice and both times my server kept freezing up due either to low CPU time or I/O time. The CPU was pretty much the same I have at home and the internet was at least 20 times faster so yeah. Watch out for these. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duckimus Maximus Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I honestly wouldn't recommend a duo core CPU to run a server. I'm not that familiar with tekkit's CPU loads but in general that's not going to be enough. But seeing you're Dutch, check out www.alternate.nl it's a cheapish on-line store. They sell pre-built, and components as well and I have had good experiences with their service too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A blank Tekkit server with no plugins will not use the extra cores at all. Maybe some Java garbage collection threads but that's it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alectro91 Posted August 15, 2012 Author Share Posted August 15, 2012 I found the dell poweredge 2950 for 299$. But... when I click customise, it already adds 200$. http://store.flagshiptech.com/dell-poweredge-2950-2x-2-0ghz-dual-core-intel-xeon-5130-cpus-4gb/ Will this do, without configuring, and maybe upgrading the ram to 6/8GB myself?

BlasterMaster555 Posted August 16, 2012 Share Posted August 16, 2012 You want your CPU to be over 3 GHz to really run those higher player numbers with speed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alectro91 Posted August 16, 2012 Author Share Posted August 16, 2012 So do you have any link to a server which has that, for around 300$ ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlasterMaster555 Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Not gonna find a system that fast for that price. I built mine from parts on ebay, so it's a 3.2 GHz Phenom II 955 (3.2 GHz Quad Core), 8 GB DDR2, and so on and so forth. Also, I put a cheap graphics card so that integrated graphics wouldn't bog the system. And yes, it does make a difference. I can also upgrade the system by dropping in an AM3+ board and DDR3 RAM and use the existing CPU. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
