Hosting Tips.

Hello,

I was wondering how much would be required to run a lag free Server with about, 2 Main servers & a few lobbies. (Dedicated Server) As in how much of RAM, specs etc I would need.

It will hopefully contain 500 players on HCF SOTW. And maybe 200 on Practice and hubs, with max slots of 1000 on all servers, players may drop a little after a week or something. And I would like this to be lag free. Our plugins are all sorted, and recoded at its finest, we don't use mass files such as Essentials and leaked cores etc. We have everything custom coded. So I was wondering how much I would need for a lag free SOTW. Just give some tips, I would prefer OVH anything can do or just suggest how much of everything I'd need. The dedicated server will need to have space for Databases, web hosting probably, and like a ts. So I want to know how much altogether I would really need.

If you have that many people coming on i would get 2 dedicated servers if your running to run teamspeak 2 servers, lobbies and 500 people. You will want to spread out server load onto multiple machines if i were you

I was planning on splitting into sections / VPS. As in a place for databases, web hosting, teamspeak 3, and the main server.

1000 players is alot. Before you start working out what dedi(s) you are going to buy. You need to consider if the server is really going to get 1000 players online. Not even a #1 .org slot would bring in that many. Unless you have several 200k sub + YouTubers and popular streamers thats unlikely to happen. People always over estimate how many players they will get.

If thats really the case. Get an 8GB OVH VPS for the website, TS and DB (8GB one since it has 2vcores). 2 x 64GB Dedis might be pushing it a bit. So I would get 3. Devide your HCF server into 2 HCF servers. You cant really have 500 players on a single server. It wont run well at all. You will find most large networks spit their servers. CosmicPvP for example. They have several 350 slot servers. You would be better with 2, 250 slot HCF servers. Both on diffrent dedis. Could get the hubs and practice PvP on another.

https://www.ovh.co.uk/dedicated_servers/game/ go for the OC one. Since its the same price as the other.
