Re: [bitfolk] Minecraft Server

Honestly, you're really going to struggle to run anything for more than a couple of people, and once you've done a decent bit of exploring and building it's going to become unplayable unless you've really opted for a reasonably huge amount of RAM - and then you're looking at quite an expensive VPS for the purposes of running one game. I ran a server for a handful of people for quite some time on a Bitfolk VPS, and it was painful enough to convince us to fork out a little bit for a Multiplay server instead. The game is just far too resource-hungry to warrant running on the sort of VPS setup that's likely to be affordable - you're much better off getting something that's far less flexible but far more geared towards the purpose. That's not to belittle Andy's VPS options - it's just the wrong hardware for the job. A decent Minecraft server has very specific hardware requirements, whereas with a VPS you're paying for flexibility rather than power, and paying for both quickly becomes prohibitive. Hope that helps a bit, -Tom On Sun, Sep 4, 2011 at 12:42 AM, Matt Molyneaux <moggers87(a)googlemail.com>wrote;wrote:
