Server hardware for Minecraft server (not personal)

You aren't going to get anything for 150€. The CPU alone will nab ya' around 200€-400€.

 

Not possible whit 150 euros maybe something like 1000

 

To be fair you can get a pretty powerful workstation for less than $500, with a proper Xeon and all.

 

Instead of breaking the bank because you have had a few bad experiences I would suggest doing some research. 99% of servers use minecraft hosting companies or dedicated machines so you know that there are some good companies out there. I recently made a post myself asking the server admins which hosting company they found was the best overall, feel free to look at it (http://www.spigotmc.org/threads/best-hosting-company.64239/#post-708742 ). Go through the thread and take a look at all of them and compare them yourself. I agree that it can be frustrating sometimes but a good machine makes a good server. If you are still set on making your own machine I would lift your budget a bit

PS: if you do decide to use a hosting company I would reccomend you get a dedicated machine instead of a vps (shared host); its more expensive in most cases but the quality is much better.

 

If you need a host ovh/sys

 

Yeah use OVH I had a serversystem, never had problems with it, no lagg nor downtime and it was a VPS

 

If you still need help I recommend AMAZON AWS for your server. Basically you create and install it yourself. 100% uptime and you can turn it on only as needed. I am willing to help you if you ever need it. You can do this for $20-$40 a month with a good VPC server.

 

sorry ifi necro too much, but it is (with the right amountof research) entirely possible to build a dedicated server for mc with 150€. how many users do you have on your server is the bigger question...

 

It is possible for $100 or less with server shipped. But again number. Of people matters much more than that.

Just FYI I did buy a dell 2850 for $73 and 6 HDDs for 30 ish and have a quad core 8gb and good hdd speed server for that. But yet again depends on exact intent.

 

Stop necroposting

 

I didn't necropost. the guy before me did i just pay 0 attention.

 

i always have lag on my vps ;(

 

sorry for necro. but i couldnt stand the statement of frash23 .. 400$ for the cpu? we are talking about server hardware m8...there are blade systems to be bought for less then that..used of course. for a mc only server that has about 20users and no extreme plugins like movecraft id wager around 200 euro to be sufficient
