Cheap VPS for minecraft
Hey LowEndTalk,
I am searching for a VPS that i can use, for my minecraft server.
My current vps provider only allows 20% CPU usage from 1 cpu..
I need a VPS provider which could offer me 2.5gb (or more) RAM, and where i can max out my CPU (single core or more), if possible in europe. (Or USA with possibility to ping, and check download speeds)
Regards, Thomas

Vultr is solid choice for minecraft, you can store your VPS as a snapshot when you don't want to play.
He wants to max out % CPU usage on VPS.
Vultr is kinda expensive, but i looked at your signature and found the "OVZ 4GB Special" quite interesting, and it fits my needs. Currently i have 1 core and with no players 7% CPU usage (583mb ram)
The 4 CPU cores, how much CPU Usage (%) can i use? or are these 4 cores reserved for me to use?
Not 24/7, but it can happen that i use much CPU usage for a few hours

I always use Vultr for gameservers.
I run Source servers (Gmod) though, but Minecraft should be fine too.
Hello,
What is your budget ?
Not too much >.< max $5 a month for now because im still working on it
Currently at Venetx, the VPS works great but the 20% CPU usage is the bad part..
Have you ever thought about using a game server provider or is this out of the question?
Also, how many slots does your server use?
Well most of the time game server providers are more expensive. I have set it at 40 slots.
But im currently still building the server, and most of the time im at school.
High CPU for extended period + 2GB of RAM for $5 is going to be tough.
Look at Vultr's $7 plan. Decent RAM + generous CPU usage.
I recommend @drserver, especially with his AbusiveCores that allows you to use the CPU 100%
You may look for a dedicated server for it: http://www.soyoustart.com/us/essential-servers/ (with Anti-DDoS protection) All of the resources will only be used by you. (guaranteed bandwidth: 250Mbps)
They also have installation templates of game servers.
For a cheaper one, http://www.kimsufi.com/en/ (guaranteed bandwidth: 100Mbps)
If you are willing to shell out a few bucks, http://www.ovh.com/us/dedicated-servers/enterprise/ (it has Anti-DDoS Pro protection free of charge, up to 1Gbps with 500Mbps guaranteed bandwidth).
Fair ol jump there, from $5 to a dedi.
If you're worried about CPU usage then Vultr / Abusive cores are going to be your best bet and saddly I can't see you getting anything even remotely reasonable to run a MC server on for that price.
In that case vultr works even better for you, snapshot the server when you finish working on it at night and spin up a new one when you get home from school. Then you're only paying what you're using on a high teir VPS.
