soyoustart is pretty good value imo, just know if you want a faster processor or something, you need another host. I planned on using SYS if i need a dedi because I can't pay more than than 50 for one and their prices are very low.

what would there processors be like for a Minecraft Network (Factions & Skyblock) based

what would there processors be like for a Minecraft Network (Factions & Skyblock) based

for factions, i would defo go for a faster processor. Anything like an i7 6600 or higher (i7 8700, i7 7700, i9 9900k, etc) or an amd equivalent like a ryzen 7 or higher (ryzen 7 3700, ryzen 9, etc). I don't know much about skyblock but I would probably allocate more ram because people afk a lot and there are lots of entities present in sb. If you have a smaller server, that dedi should be fine though

SoYouStart, if you did not know is an OVH subcompany, it’s there cheaper line up. As PradyXT said, I’d recommend something more powerful. I personally use server4you.com which is quite amazing (they are a sub company of go daddy).

good luck with your server

ps, I believe pebblehost used soyoustart for a while, so it’s quality

SoYouStart is ok. I personally use them for some of my hosting servers but we're trying to move away from them to main OVH or smaller providers such as R2F or Nexril.

As mentioned in earlier replies, if you need anything beyond an i7-6700k, 64GB RAM, and two 480GB drives, you'll need to look elsewhere.

SYS doesn't have the best reputation for the fastest support either, they're usually quite slow. I once had a ticket with them sitting there for 4 days with no reply.

If you really don't care about their support too much and only need the server specs they can provide, then you'll probably be fine with them.

If you need something more powerful than what they provide, I recommend looking on the main https://ovh.com website first. You can also look at providers such as https://ready2frag.com or https://nexril.net although they may cost you more. You may be able to get a discount from R2F or Nexril if you open a ticket with them and show an equivalent server at OVH.

Make sure you actually need a dedicated server though. If you're not planning on using all of the CPU or RAM, see if you can make do with a VPS and save money.

If you're opening a hosting company and want the most hq servers don't buy sys, just buy ovh or hetzner

If the servers they have fit their needs, they'll be fine using SYS.

if your talking about for minecraft servers, ive used pebblehost for minecraft hosting, I had the best experience with it out of all minecraft hosts.
I also use it for discord bot hosting, and ive had a better experience than digitalocean. its easier.

yea but if you have a good budget always go for a dedi rather than shared which would be AWEFUL on large scale servers considering there are many others on your box potentially lagging your cpu.

I think they wanted to start a hosting company, for that they 100% need a dedi if its a high playerbase and a demanding game mode

not even then, personal servers dedi's from ovh is the way to go. only buy shared hosting if its for a friend serer with 5-10 people on.

Definetly not for a hosting company, looking to start out a none laggy casual factions server
