requesting recommendations for a good and relatively cheap hosting service i could use for a modded minecraft server

@er1n whoa that's a lot of suggestions and like zero details, haha
i'll take a look at those tho

@literallyfenic uhhhhhhh i would recommend vultr or digitalocean. the others are uhh good but i haven't really used them

vultr is like $5 a month for a decent little vps, same for digitalocean

@er1n hmm is 1G of memory really enough for a modded MC server

@literallyfenic sorry i don't really do a lot w/ minecraft anymore? but that _does_ sound a little low 😬

@er1n okay well vultr's pricing seems better, and i doubt i need it up 24/7, so hmm,

@er1n actually it turns out 1G was plenty for my old server so

@literallyfenic @er1n heads up, mine struggled with 4gb, i just upgraded it to 6gb thanks to felthry

@squirrel @er1n something doesn't quite add up here, i was able to run a server with like twice as many mods on just 1

@er1n @literallyfenic also was it the old heavy-on-mods 1.7 or recent 1.12 like mine

cause i suspect cpu is also a bottleneck on mine but giving it just 2gb of ram was definitely choking it

@literallyfenic @er1n yeah dunno then

mine definitely does not run well with less than 3gb in java allocation

@squirrel @er1n also keep in mind i'm talking an Ubuntu VN that's doing literally nothing but running the server

@literallyfenic @er1n mine's a laptop overhead running headless ubuntu server 16.04 and the only other thing it does is like, a transmission daemon for seedbox

@literallyfenic @er1n some 2013-2014 amd a10 apu, not sure what exact model

i totally expect that to be a bottleneck too
