How often should I restart my server

[MC-Servers Ltd]

Hi guys, I've just been really curious and wanting to know how often I should restart a server with a 10-30 player base!

I also want to know how often I should reset worlds, I was thinking every 3 months but is that too frequent?

Thank you!

Got a server with a similar playerbase, around 130 Plugins and the server runs fine off a reboot every 7 Days or so.
Again, Same playerbase and i normally reset every 3-4 Months, Although this can change. A lot of the time its down to the community.

Don't reset (full wipe, except donor ranks typically) your server. It pisses people off, and they typically leave.

Edit: This is factions, so maybe not. I dont know, typically resets = less players

Restart at night time so there's less people to piss off

Every 7 DAYS?

Is that a typo? or is that true?

Right, way to promote your hosting company hehe.

I'm probably going to re-boot every 8-12 hours, I think that's reasonable tbh

and in terms of the world reset, maybe every 6 months

Reboot the server (minecraft server) every 12 hours and reboot the dedicated server every 7 days.

Make sure that you power down the minecraft server before the dedi because of some rather obvious reasons.

Hun? No, Minecraft server every 7 Days.
The Dedi's uptime is something like 54 Days.

Dedi's can stay on for a while but for a low end server I'd sugest every 24 hours, we do the same otherwise we freeze up cause we dont have a high PB just a fuck ton of chunks and unique joins every day haha

We reboot every 24hrs at lowest point based on our playerbase (3AM)

If a server resets every 6 months.. especially if its a faction server.. thats real bad.. I suggest 2-3 months, If your resets are good more players will play.

Reset every 2/3 months? That's way too short.

But won't players get mad? Because they would feel like they've only been able to play a short time before it resetting
