for $300 you can get a dedicated server with 16gb of ram, so why waste ur money on a VPS? most of the time those things are ran on shared systems, which means you dont even get the max resources as stated, hence the name 'VIRTUAL' server, its not an actually server.
yeah, u can run it on 8GB of ram, hell you can run it on 4GB of ram with 8GB paging file, but just because you can start it and log on to AN account, doesnt mean you can call it any sort of server, get 10 ppl on 6GB of ram and have a huge lag party all night long, grab you a drink while waiting to take the next step, you will have time
but if you want a server you can actually play on with a few ppl, 6GB of ram is not going to allow that no matter how awesome or super smart you are, its funny u say you have ran all those servers on a VPS, funny how none of them are around :| i bet i know why, but im sure it had nothing to do with the server running like dog shit. . . .
you have an extremely flawed perception of these forums, you think server want to keep their players (which DUHHH, no shit, you never wanted to keep ppl on ur server before?) and they cant get anything to work, and blah blah blah, but in reality, the ppl you are talking shit to atm, are ppl who have got it to work, no one helped them, they figured it out on their own, which is a hell of alot more than i can say for 80% of the members here including you, i think jan has earned plenty of respect and understanding on these boards, his account is hardly 1 year older than yours, he has 1000+ thank yous, you have fking 12, you have accomplished nothing, no releases, no posts on threads where ppl are trying to figure shit out that isnt plain common sense, for all practical purposes you are useless compared to jan, and yeah he gave it up, but he spent years of his life on it, knows 1000x more than you about front end and back end, could script circles around ur smartest family member im sure, so you can get off ur soapbox and take a bow, ur underneath him not above
bottom line is simple; you want a shit server that you and 2 other ppl can get on and play GM, go with a VPS, you want one that ppl can actual play and have a good time without wanting to throw the monitor in to the street, get a dedi, its not rocket science ffs
and $300 for a VPS, wtf? oO why?
