Server questions

[Cursed]

Hello, before I start I must say I am using a phone to type this so it might not be the best. I'm also new to this community and loving it so far. All things aside I am currently working on a server and hosting it with cubedhost. I do like them but I need to upgrade ram later on and it's very expensive with them. I am trying trying to decide on a good cheap host such as maybe Galaxy node (Only $24 a month, which is great. Any thought on it? Apparently the guy who runs it is very known on here and people seem to like him) or bisect hosting, both of which I found from here. Do you recommend I do something like this and upgrade to maybe a dedicated host later on? I can't afford multiple server even though it would be nice to have bungee cord, at this time I'm just using 1 server with many worlds and I am going to have different mini games such as hunger games, hopefully a nice custom pvpplugin and more. Do you think 8gb would be enough for something like this? I think I just need some direction from fellow server owners such as server hosts, etc. I'm looking forward to hearing what type of server your running at this time and what you started with. Thanks!

I do reccomend going for a dedicated, as its better than shared hosting (depends on the host).

Also I suggest instead of having multiple worlds you have multiple servers and than connecting them with bungee (thats also a reason to go for a dedicated as you can create multiple servers on it). I mean, having multiple worlds would work but expect a little bit of lag from time to time as hunger games is quite a heavy minigame to be run with multiple plugins.

Thanks for responding! I don't have much money right now to pay for something like that though unfortunately. Although I could buy a couple 2gb server s and link those with bungee? I see people doing that, I assume it's possible with some hosting company's.

It is possible yes. However 2 GB is for max 3-4 maps (hunger games)

Right, I can figure something out. Do you recommend any shared hosting? I've seen good reviews about Galaxy node in the hosting section of the forums as well as a reputable member running it. I'm for sure though going to get a dedicated further up in the road! Thanks for taking your time to help me.

Sadly I am not a fan of shared hostings.

Hmm ok, appreciate talking to you and meeting some members of the community.
