Help Picking Best Dedicated Server

None of those will be good. If I correctly recognised the specs, thats Nocix. They don't have any DDoS protection, and with only a 1Gbps uplink, they would be vulnerable to just about every booter out there. So any kid that isn't happy with your server could take it offline several times, for as little as $4.

Edit: Might actually be wholesaleinternet, but they are just about the same, so all the above applies.

Do you have any host that you recommend using then?

Core™ i5-2300 Is the best one for MC. They are part of OVH, therefor the DDoS protection is virtually untouchable.

That's perfect, exactly what I need. Thank you so much!

No, it is not. i5-3570s is. It has a faster single thread score which is what Minecraft relies on.

That one doesn't show up for me, so I didn't know it existed:

The i5-2300 isn't great for MC. It works, but it isn't anything special. I wouldn't recommend it for a 40-50 consistent player base.

As for the DDoS protection - OVH is still able to be taken down. Saying that it is "virtually untouchable" could mislead someone. It's probably better to say something like: "OVH's DDoS protection is untouchable by script kiddies, but definitely touchable by someone who knows what they're doing."

Its not great, but its okay. An E3 would have been better but the i5 was more in a similar price range to the ones he was looking at.

Might have got a little carried away there, most have a favored host, mines OVH. Though as long as a decent firewall is setup, and the webserver isn't particularly vulnerable then it should all be good. In terms of bandwidth 480Gbps is about as good as it gets with a few exceptions and would be a real challenge to take down, even with amplified attacks. They also deal with internal attacks very quickly.

Might not be virtually untouchable, but without pulling out the big bucks, its about as good as it gets.[DOUBLEPOST=1480332998][/DOUBLEPOST]

With OVH you definitely get what you pay for. Cheap stuff, that is.

Its cheap yes. Network might not be the best, and the customer support isnt great. But everything else is fine and as long as you know what you're doing, it's rare to need to contact customer support. I've been using them for quite a while now, and will continue to do so, until I have the funds to colocate my own.

They're definitely worth the money - no doubt, but for a use case like the OP describes, I wouldn't recommend anything less than SoYouStart. Kimsufi just isn't good enough to give 40-50 players a good experience.

Agreed, though I looked at the ones he was thinking of buying and picked one that's alright and in the same price range.

With dedicated servers for MC. E3's are where its at, cheap yet powerful. But the cheapest I've seen is $45 most are in the region of $50-70.
