Cheap UK VPS 4GB RAM SSD - Minecraft

in Requests

Hi Guys,

Any suggestions / offers on a UK/FR located VPS with about 4GB RAM, 20GB+ SDD?
Budget is around £4 to £8.

It will only be for 3-4 players so don't think too much ram will be needed, let me know if you think otherwise! (Mod pack is FTB Infinity Evolved for now).

Thanks :)

    @AlexBarakov seem to have a plan within budget (https://alphavps.bg/ , 4GB OpenVZ) and matching / exceeding your spec / location requirements and budget.

    Honestly throw it up on Hetzner cloud. I've got a Forever Stranded server running beautifully with a 30ms ping

    Edit:

    Pings are a bit high on my crappy ADSL connection, 30ms is actually the low end for me. Even pings to Google DNS are 25ms

    Hetzner Cloud, 5.98€/m (vat include) for 2cpu, 4gb RAM, 40gb nvme, 20tb bandwith. Nvme is a must for Minecraft server. Run well.

    @Jackious As Minecraft is a single-threaded application, it runs pretty badly on most VPS providers. Additionally, FTB Infinity is an extremely heavy modpack pack. Even for 4 players, you would need a VPS with a dedicated core to get any kind of acceptable performance.

    For this price and use-case, a shared Minecraft hosting would suit you better.
    I recommend using ShockByte - they have great prices, servers are powerful and network is good (OVH), though the support is a bit lacking… I ran Direwolf20 1.10.2 on one of their 3GB plans and it worked like a charm.

    To comment a bit on the acceptable latency (ping) for Minecraft, anything under 100ms will be perfectly fine. At ~180ms, the latency becomes noticable and ~300ms is unplayable (at least for me).

    Also, be careful about VPS providers - some will (especially on OpenVZ plans) kick you out for abusing CPU.
