Running servers on Dedicated Root Servers
Hey guys, just trying to find some information on servers that are running off of Dedicated Root Servers and not through a third party host. How many servers do you guys run from 1 server and what are the specs? Im trying to work out if i could run 4 servers (1 on each core) using the following specs:
CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1245 v5 - 4c/8t - 3.5GHz /3.9GHz
RAM: 32GB DDR4 2133MHz
Disks: SoftRAID 2x2TB SATA
Any input on how hard or easy it was would also be greatly appreciated.
I currently have 5 servers at the moment but i experience massive lag during peak hours, even with low Pop. Im expecting this is because these are large hosting machines with many servers per machine so during peak hours they are under stress and therefore causing lag to all servers.

Thanks for the input, Can i ask how many servers you have running on that machine? and roughly how big is your player base?

I run two off an I5-3450 with 16gigs of ram and no SSD & no client with no problems. My Ark client runs on a separate computer.
But the player count is limited to 7 & 10 (normally only 2 or 3 are on tops).
Don't know how high a population it could handle - don't care as it is a private passworded server.

Once the base server is running, Population = Server Load.

Hi @leslie Thanks heaps for the reply, Do you ever experience any lag with the servers? or does it run smoothly?

We have 3 Servers (Rag, AB and Ext) and one Experimental Server. Running about 25 Mods Each server and have a Playerbase of 10-15 Player each server.
