CubedHost AOTBT

[MFCopenhagen]

Wondering why our AOTBT server, hosted by CubedHost, has significant lag and crashing issues. The server is set up with 2 GB RAM and we only have two players. We don't have any additional plugins or mods.

 

I don't understand, with our server running the way it is, how others can possibly run 30-60 player servers and experience little lag.

 

Maybe there is something I can do to improve the performance...?

Sounds like you either have a crappy server host or your MC server is not setup correctly. Care to share the IP address/hostname of the server? I can run some tests.

 

You can do so also, just open the cmd prompt, and use "ping <server>" or "tracert <server>" (Windows tools)

 

Ping while test round-trip packet timings (in milliseconds).  

 

Trace Route will map out the hops/hits to the server.

Can't really run any tests ATM...I'm at work. Any help with this would be much appreciated.

Ping isn't bad at all.

 

traceroute from my server got null routed.

 

Your connection seems fine. Seems like its the actual server itself, or how you have your MC server configured

[MFCopenhagen]

Don't really know. It's pretty much "out of the box." The only thing I've changed is the server difficulty. 

[MFCopenhagen]

Need to find some way to allow the two of us to play this incredible modpack without the constant lag and need to restart the server every hour.

[MFCopenhagen]

If anybody could provide any helpful information, it would be appreciated. I know the server host to be decent quality. We've re-installed the modpack multiple times. Just looking for a little information to find a solution. Thanks in advance.
