Making Classic server. What mod packs should i remove?

[Mineshaft87]

Hey, when i say what mod packs i mean... which mods are going to allow players to grief, lagg out or just muck up my server completely.

Instead of removing whole modpacks, get a bukkit plugin called Tekkit Customizer. It will allow you remove specific items from the game without remove whole modpacks. For griefing I would reccomend removing nukes, red morning stars, destruction catalysts, nova catalysts, and nova catalysms. For lagging remove dimensional anchors and automatic crafting tables mk2. Energy condensers/collecters can give players infinitely many items if that is a problem. Nuclear reactors can have destructive meltdowns if that worries you. Forcefields can be a cheap protection system if you plan to allow sharing of houses. Also, some choose to ban swiftwolf's rending gale as it allows players to fly. If your server is going slow, remove the computercraft modpack. It can cause lag problems on low end servers. Railcraft can also cause lag problems on low end servers.

Thanks alot! I will be running my server on 2GB dedicated RAM which is meant to hold 50 people (probable less considering it's tekkit). Not sure if that counts as low end? Costs $30 tho... anyways thanks for the item list and plugin not sure if my server would be considereded low end?

2GB dedicated RAM should be fine. My server was running on 2GB before I switched to 4GB and only had problems with worldedit (an amazing plugin). Also, $30 a month is way overpriced. A cheaper solution would be to buy a new pc, and just run the server on your own pc.

Yeah but baring in mind not all server make it to being popular and getting lots of donations. Plus i wouldn't be allowed to keep my PC running all night not to mention the electricity bill. Any websites you know of that host tekkit classic server for cheaper? Thanks

Here are some sites that offer the same amount of ram or more for the same or a cheaper price. I was unable to find the $10 a month for 3GB plan I found when searching for my own server (I just decided to use another pc). Please note; 2000MB = 2GB. http://mcprohosting.com/plans.php http://redstonehost.com/clientarea/cart.php?gid=1 https://minecraftserverhost.net/secure/cart.php. Any higher than 2000MB is even better than 2GB.

Thanks very much! I found a few of those websites myself but i heard that some of the servers are laggy and not as good as they seem or somthing? Guess it's worth a try. And if you really did find $10 for 3GB maybe the computer running it wasn't very good? Like i don't think it's just about the memory when it comes to hosting servers.

Here it is: they have changed their plans... but they still have great prices: http://craftyourbox.com/minecraft-servers/ I checked. They use one of the fastest processors available. The processor is the most important part of the server's speed. Also, if your server is running slow, they will allocate more processor power and RAM to your server for up to a max of 1 hour.
