Server Setup Questions?

[Invert]

Hello All,

We've been running into some unfortunate issues with our server lately with not only losing our player base but feeling that Factions isn't for us at the current moment.

I was wanting some advice and thought this was the best place to come to ask questions.

Questions

What sort of server should we make?
How much RAM should we buy for wanting to make a Hub Server?
What do you recommend doing advertising wise?
Is paid advertising a wise choice?
How much money should we invest into our server?
Any bonus details on what we should know about and any extra advice you have?
Should we build our server, download or buy?


Thanks a lot.

TotalPrime, Chilled_ and TotalCheetah.

If you have a IP to the server id like to check it out and look around. I too have a server and at the start for the first month had 20+ players on constant and it just kept slowly dying down, and now it has peeks of 5-10 players at night. During the day it will have maybe 1 or 2 players on.
