Need Dedicated Host.

[CheesyBrotato]

Currently, I am looking into buying an 8 gb ram server from Myiume, for 24$ pm, with the following specs:
Location: St. Louis (Central US, perfect latency for US players and decent latency for Europe)
Specs: i7-6700k Skylake 4c/8t 4.7Ghz ( best processor for gaming servers on the market)
Storage: 2 x 2TB HDD (Raid 1 - Mirroring) 7200RPM
Network: 1GBPS Connection
RAM: 64GB DDR4-2133 PC4-17000

I want to know if i can find anything better.

It sounds like your getting a VPS.

He is most definitely getting a VPS at this price.

The i7-7700k is better

Like others are saying you're getting a VPS. Which if its 8GB, and the node has 64GB RAM. Then you are getting a 8th of that. Which is still good though. If you wanted a dedicated server with those specs, you are looking into the hundreds price range.

They are very good specs, the only thing that can really be picked fault with is the fact its using HDD's over SSD's. Which doesn't matter as much as hosts lead you to believe. The performance gain of using an SSD, or RAID 1 HDD's isn't really noticeable, especially with a small server / network.

$24 is pretty good for that, tbh. You aren't really going to find a better deal with those specs.

We as a host try and be as transparent as possible and I completely agree with this. SSD's are the best option for a Minecraft server but this is still based on your usages. For chunk generation/updates, startup and backups where the drive is reading and writing a lot, it's definitely preferable.

For most smaller servers I'd say spinning disks won't be that bad. Considering they usually are around 80MB reads and writes on a slow drive and the best I've seen is about 135MB/s read/write on hard drives. Obviously, mileage may vary but people definitely put too much emphasis on SSD's...

The only time you'd want SSD's 100% of the time are if it's a shared environment such as VPS or Minecraft hosting when multiple servers are running and this is simply just to ensure no other servers would be bottlenecking yours.

Although, if your server is big enough and you have the budget a dedicated server is definitely your most ideal solution.
