$300/month Dedicated Server Budget.

[chermpy]

Recommendations? I should be able to run a peak of 800 players, and an average of 350-400 players at all times. Some requirements are:

+ 100% uptime. Not 98%. Not 99.99897%.
+ Business Time Support
+ Must own the machines. No resellers.

I know very little about servers, so now is your chance to scam me into buying anything that says 'Dedicated Server' on it.

I recommend taking a look at LimeStone Networks: https://www.limestonenetworks.com/dedicated-servers/bare-metal.html
Great servers, great support, great network. You won't be disappointed with these guys. These guys know what their doing, they aren't your "Minecraft Skiddie" hosts you'll find on here.

It's impossible to have 100% uptime guaranteed as north Korea could just nuke the area

$300 a month?
You may as well just buy a great PC and great Internet. Sure you can afford some dapper plans with that.
Or just go with IBM, they have good servers

North Korean nuke can't reach as far as China

For $300 you could get overpriced Vultr dedicated instances:

4 X 120 GB SSD
$240

• 8 CPU
• 32768MB Memory
• 40TB Bandwidth

Billed hourly.

They got a 100% SLA uptime guarantee, you can view more here:

It's a pricy thing, however, their network, support and uptime is truly amazing.

Well you don't need 300$ a month for this persay, never overspend man.

Look at OVH game boxes. If your plugins are optimized, from what a system admin told me in the past, (amazing people like Tripps ) https://www.ovh.com/us/dedicated-servers/game/ Look at the MC-64 OC. Should be able to withstand nearly 1k? and way cheaper than your 300$. You could spend the rest on the optional upgrades that ovh offers, not that they're even needed, per box. OVH owns their boxes too and who 99% of hosting companies resell their boxes from, aside from like rackspace. I'm not a sys admin though, just know business from talking to quite a few at my companies/servers overtime.

I'll look into this, thanks
