I'm planning to start up a Minecraft server. It's currently in development on a 2.5GB OpenVZ with @GetKVM_Ash , but I expect to need SAS15k or even SSD for my IO needs. What would be better: A 4GB RAM SSD/Sas15k VPS, or a small dedicated server with SSD. Budget is around 20/30€ a month. Offers are also welcome, both here and in my PM box. Preferably in the EU too.

    For minecraft i would use an SSD for optimal speeds of your server and no lag
    You could take a VPS with an SSD

    I can do a 4GB RAM SSD VPS in the UK for £30/month assuming you don't need masses of disk space or bandwidth.

  • For your budget you can get only a ssd vps not a dedicated.

    I do Minecraft hosting in addition to our VPS servers. Could do 4Gb on our SSD minecraft nodes for €30.

    I have a small server that I play on with a few friends. It is OpenVZ with 2.5GB of RAM. 1GB for the server and 1GB of ramdisk for the data. It works well.

  • Check this out:

    1GB RAM
    30GB SSD
    8,80 euros a month in France.

    This is cheap, what payment method accepted?

    Atom 230and only 1 GB ram, might be cheap, but will not cover the requirements.

  • Well I am not sure how RAM/CPU intensive minecraft is. I always thought it was I/O hungry. Something you don't want on a VPS.

  • offer is pmed to you.

    IO hungry if you don't have enough ram I suppose.

  • @Freek said: I always thought it was I/O hungry. Something you don't want on a VPS.

    It's CPU hungry mostly. Then RAM. I/O isn't as much since things get loaded to RAM.

  • I wouldn't recommend using a VPS for a Minecraft server.

    Your issue will be CPU, not RAM. Minecraft does not hesitate to eat a full core up and keep it that way.

    Would have to go with a Minecraft specific VPS or server.

    @Freek said: Well I am not sure how RAM/CPU intensive minecraft is. I always thought it was I/O hungry. Something you don't want on a VPS.

    It is both....... It will gladly use up a full CPU core and keep it that way.

    RAM wise, it all depends on how many players and if you're running mods, etc.

    @Freek that is crazy cheap - $11.75/mo for a dedi with unlim bandwidth.

    If only I spoke French...

    Google Translate should suffice for the order process I guess
