Average server specs?

[RainOfPain125]

What kind of requirements would i need to host a 24/7, pretty much lag-free server - 24 slots

my idea -

a dedicated
4 GB of DDR3 RAM
3 GHz Processor
50 or so GB's of storage
50 mb upload and download speed

that sound about right? i kinda want a rubric for what each server should be running on, as i intend to have a large list of servers running in the near-future for unturned, and i do not wish to waste $ on extra RAM or such if its never going to be used, etc

not exactly sure, you should be able to look up server specs on a popular host, see what the basic grade for that many players would be

[Johnny Chimpo]

The specs aren't as important as hosting on an Internet source that you don't use for anything else. I am pretty sure the machine my servers run on has 16 gb ram, I am not sure of the rest, but I can run 6 servers on it with no issue.

bump, wasnt give a full or proprer answer

I highly suggest not renting, its a terrible idea (wont bother explaining why) but if you want, i could help you with your server... if that seems interesting to you

Hosting a server from you're own computer is a terrible idea, But if you dont mind people ddosing you or having a slow computer 24/7, Go ahead, But renting one is really the way to go.

They will when you start banning.

True, But If you ban/kick somebody and they are a little salty ♥♥♥♥, There is a chance they will, But it is a small chance.

Our Rootserver got similar specs and works just fine with unturned and some other games simultaneously. gameservers don't need strong hardware in general (exceptions are pure sandbox games or insanely large maps or many mods). The Internet speed and location is important.

Most Server providers say they have these specs but I think it's just for marketing.

"Our servers use the best hardware from anywhere in the world"

"Specs:
CPU: i7 6750K 5.10 Ghz
RAM: 128GB DDR4 3000 Mhz
GPU: (x4) GTX 980Ti 8GB VRAM GDDR5
Internet: Best
HDD: Intel SSD 128GB"

I highly doubt they actually use those specs like they advertise because the servers still lag like sh*t.

They can have the sexiest PC's ever, but when it comes to port forwarded servers, it's the router that matters.

4 gig of ram should be plenty

not sure how quick unturned servers would fill 50gb but one thing i will say is use an SSD for faster loading times, not just when people join the server but when people go in and out of storages/their inventory etc the items will load much faster and cause less performnce issues.

as for processor you want one core per server so your servers can have a core dedicated to each of them, so a quad core 3GHz would comfortable run 4 servers.

also i cant remember what they are called but get one of those processors where you sont need an OS, unless you plan on playing and hosting from the same machine?

[Smokey]

and about server hosters i wouldnt be so quick to bash them, i found one with these specs:

100mb up/down
1gb bandwith (to protect against ddos)
ssd hosted
cant remember the processor but it was decent
8 gb ram

full 24 slots and full access to customize the server via control panel and only £12 a month

you are just not going to beat 100mb up/down and 1g bandwith at home without spending a ton, plus the electricity bill for running the server 24/7 would be around £12 a month anyway (maybe more)

No I mean it wasn't the connection to the server. The server just lagged like hell and took 10 minutes to switch map.

Heh...this won't help if they run 50 servers on it. Hosters must make a profit and they always overload their machines.
