Server network using mcprohosting. Considering switching to OVH, is it worth it?

[acuaticyas]

Hey! My server is a network and I don't have a dedicated server :/ so I have to buy one every time I get a new one from mcprohosting. Is it a waste? Should I switch to OVH? How do I switch? How do I use a dedicated server? Thanks!

Wouldn't a screen take more resources though?

Oh god no. Not at all. Barely anything. Multicraft, or any CP in general uses A LOT more.

Compared to the amount of resources that your server(s) will actually be using, the resources that screen or Multicraft would be using would be unnoticeable.
While screen provides an advanced solution with lots of options available, Multicraft will allow you to fully manage your servers with ease from a web panel, including MySQL and FTP, and not just SSH (good if your on your phone, etc).
Also, because the Multicraft daemon is completely separate from the Multicraft web frontend, you can also easily create multimachine setups and manage them all from one panel as well.

Don't buy the gaming servers, they're shit. Just buy an Enterprise server.

are you crazy, do you even know what is the CPU?
My friend runs a server with a MC-32 and he has over 600 players running with any lag...

So what type of dedicated server should I buy? An enterprise or gaming?[DOUBLEPOST=1438602204,1438602058][/DOUBLEPOST]I could buy a gaming server. It would be nice if it was available tho. ;P

Centos 6 with OVH would work perfect I think.

I'm pretty sure if you ask OVH to transfer your files for you, they would (maybe for a little extra).
OR: If you aren't sure on how to and don't want to risk it, hire someone with a good reputation to do it for you.

Do you have the knowledge of linux ? Do you know what your doing ? If your not 100% sure, your wasting your time

 

[acuaticyas]

Wasting my time? How? I would like to know.

Instead of OVH, try out SoYouStart, they are cheaper and your network + website (Optional) will work perfectly on it. I'm aware they are the same company also.

I've been with the. I have alot of knowledge with servers ect. They are indeed the same company.

 

[acuaticyas]

I've heard a lot of bad reviews about SoYouStart. Plus there are never any available servers. Have you used it before and/if you used it what do you think about it?

Sorry I'm a little new to this. Why should I learn about Linux?

 

[acuaticyas]

Better than windows by doing what? Hosting servers? Sorry, I'm a little confused here ._.
