I want to create a server with a pc that I have and use it to rent minecraft host

Hi all,

I'm new here and this my first post

So I'd like to get my own dedicated server and set it up at home to be used for games only but I have no idea what kind of specs that is needed when it comes to servers and the distribution of system resources such as CPU, RAM etc. Storage is self explained obviously.
I'm looking to host like a Minecraft server, 7 days to die server, Rust server etc but in general, if possible to say, how many game servers can you run on a single machine?
What is a good server Intel Xeon CPU these days that is not overkilling my needs to run a few game servers on the machine? Is 64 GB of RAM enough to start with?
What is best for my needs when it comes to the server type like a tower or a rack?

I'm just trying to get an estimated cost to set this all up and i'm a bit overwhelmed what is enough and not so my apologies if I don't provide much information so if you need any more details in order to assist, let me know and I'd be happy to be more specific in the topic .
Internet speed is not an issue as I have 1 Gbit up and down.

Thanks in advance!

I'm investing in the system to run the automated tool in the browser, I'm wondering the following problems, hope you can help me.
The servers I'll be running Promox on create multiple Windows 2012 VMs.

Should I buy XEON E* series servers or Xeon Sliver, Xeon Gold, Or AMD Ryzen.. ? I am targeting server rental units like Hetzner, Workldstream.

The purpose of each Promox server is to create many VMs, so when buying a server I need to pay attention to core theard ?

The intel and AMD lines have different number of cores and theards which confuses me
Each VM I will create is 1 socket, 2 cores, 5G ram.

Should I buy low CPU lines to have more cores instead of buying a powerful server with only a few dozen cores for example?
Looking forward to just replying. So that I can optimize costs and improve performance.


Here is the %CPU image I will be running, currently I am on a Hetzner server. Please advise, With the tool % cpu and ram I am running like this, which server should I invest in to be able to create the most VMs to optimize costs.

Thank you

I'm currently designing a new server architecture in colab with a server tech, we'll need 4 dedicated servers and he has recommended to setup server virtualization via Virtuozzo, his reasoning is that it will make it easy to migrate to better hardware when needed. This seems like a good idea but some devs are telling my that it will degrade the performance of the boxes is this true? His plan is to install OS on 2 x SATA(Raid 1) drives and then place the virtualization on 2 x SSD's (Raid 1)
I would like a 2nd opinion on this,
Does the virtualization degrade performance, IF it does then by how much? Is it really this convenient to use such a virtualization setup in reference to migration? Any other thing to consider?

Thanks!

Hi

I'm looking for an AMD Ryzen server these days. My requirement is stated below.

AMD Ryzen 5 3600 Hexa-Core
64 GB DDR4
2x 512 GB NVMe SSD
40TB Bandwidth

I got a good price from Europe. It was 40.00 . But I'm looking for a server from USA / Canada. Anyone can match this price in US ?

I am in need of a dedicated server for my business which will be running a white-label version of Mailwizz.

The amount of clients is approx 25 and growing daily.

These clients run various websites, blogs, membership clubs, create courses etc etc..

They have email lists that range anywhere between 5k to 500k subscribers.

The server I need WILL NOT be in charge of sending email to these lists. It's main purpose is housing the self-hosted email marketing application Mailwizz.

I am looking for a quality host that can handle the following requirements to run Mailwizz:
- Linux operating system
- Apache/Nginx webserver
- PHP >= 5.2
- MySQL/MariaDB, with InnoDB storage engine
- Cron Jobs access (linux crons not web crons please)


My budget is around $150-200/mo for a single dedicated CPU. I can allocate more of a budget if you think dual cpu is necessary.

I have these in mind:

MOJOHOST FAST E3-2: Xeon 4 Cores 8 Threads, 2 Storage Bays - $159
E3 Intel Xeon CPU
4/8/8M Cores/Threads/Cache
3.2/3.9 Gigahertz (min/max)
16 GB DDR3 1600 ECC RAM
(2) 1 TB Enterprise HDD Storage
(2) Total Drive Bays
1,000 Megabit WAN Uplink
1,000 Megabit LAN Uplink
25,000 GB Included Transfer
.01 Cost per GB Over


MOJOHOST FAST E3-6: Xeon 4 Cores 8 Threads, 6 Storage Bays - $199
E3 Intel Xeon CPU
4/8/8M Cores/Threads/Cache
3.2/3.9 Gigahertz (min/max)
16 GB DDR3 1600 ECC RAM
(4) 1 TB Enterprise HDD Storage
RAID CARD Optional
(6) Total Drive Bays
1,000 Megabit WAN Uplink
1,000 Megabit LAN Uplink
25,000 GB Included Transfer
.01 Cost per GB Over



ProlimeHost
Intel 2276G
6 cores, 12 threads
32 GB
480G SSD or 2TB HDD
40 TB
$99/mo


I am even considering a Ryzen setup from either ProlimeHost or Hivelocity which has servers using EPYC. Although I am not sure if it's wise to go with consumer-grade hardware for this setup?

This is the one from ProlimeHost:
AMD Ryzen 3700x
8 cores 16 threads
64 GB
480G SSD or 2TB HDD
40 TB
$119/m



DatabaseByDesignLLC also has a special going on for a dual cpu server with 96gb ram although they are using an older X5560 cpu.

Not sure if that's too outdated though...

96GB + SSD Dedicated Server

Dedicated Server Specifications:
Dual Quad Core
96GB ECC DDR3 Memory
1x 240GB SSD
1Gbps Public Network Port
100TB Premium Bandwidth
1 Public IPv4 Address
Remote Access Card (IPMI)

hi i'm looking to buy new dedicated server. my requirement is to create windows vpses.
8 core
64gb ram
1.5tb ssd/nvme disk.

i need 62 additional ips. currently i'm using ovh. but there support is bad. they provide failover ips for onetime payment. thats the only + point. please recomment me a good provider

Hello,

I am looking for a dedicated server provider that can preferably provide servers in both US and Australia. Happy to consider different providers if the prices are really good.

Minimum Requirements
16 Cores / 32 Threads @3.5Ghz+ (AMD Ryzen 3950X)
32GB RAM
128GB SSD
DDOS Mitigation

Hello,

I know that servers with EPYC CPUs are very reliable, but are Ryzen servers reliable enough? I've seen there're many Ryzen servers on sale on Hetzner. If I rent a Ryzen server, do I need to reboot it every some days? Thanks a lot.

Hi guys,

i am looking for a server provider that has good and fast support.
i currently have a Ryzen 5 3600 server it's not powerful enough. Support is taking days to reply thus i am looking to move asap.

anything other than hetzner please.

regards

I know when you buy a dedicated server it is always possible that the disk fail.

Now my question does it make sense that I ask the provider to run a test on my server disk to make sure the disk is in good health?

I mean during my service or before I buy?
