thanks again guys lots of help much appreciated. I'm planning on getting this up and running by middle of may because of college crap. Love for you guys to come and check out the server and help me if i need more assistance
Here's a list of great plugins for your Bukkit server.
thanks everyone for your help can you also give me some plugins every server should have besides world edit, permissions, essentials
Yes, you should be able to host a server for that many people. As long as you have a decent uploading speed, such as 1-2MB, you should be fine.
so in simple terms if I upgrade my PC to 4gb RAM i should have enough room for 12 or so people allowing teleporting and fly only for ops and admins and should have little to no lag? and I wouldn't be playing directly from the same computer I'm hosting from
Most of the info you posted is unnecessary. You only need to worry about spare RAM to allocate to your server, and upload speed. I'll go over real fast how to find your uploading speed, how much you need to host a server, and how much RAM you need to allocate to your server.
The following information can be found HERE and was posted by ZaphodX. I'm simply passing the info on, not taking credit for any of it.
Find your upload speed here: http://speedtest.net/.
This is approximately how many people you can support. You can possibly support more, depending on what people are doing on the server. Flying, minecarts and teleporting greatly increase the amount of data you need to upload to people (because they move faster you have to upload more chunks). Having a vanilla server with no teleporting or flying will allow you to support many more people.
Upload speed:
0.25MB = 1-2 people
0.5 MB = 2-4 people
1 MB = 5-10 people
2 MB = 12-20 people
However you also need enough spare RAM for the server. Decide how much spare room you have to allocate to the server, but remember to leave at least 0.5GB for the operating system and at least another 0.5GB if you play minecraft on the same machine. If you want to allocate more than 1GB to minecraft or your server, you will need 64-bit java
Spare memory allocated to server:
0.5GB = 4 people
1.0GB = 8 people
2.0GB = 16 people
Correctly setting up 64-bit java

Minecraft 1.8 and 1.9 have put even more stress on memory and processor usage. Now more than ever it is recommended to use 64-bit java. This will give you less lag and is essential for high resolution texture packs. 64-bit java also allows you to give more memory to java. If you are getting out of memory errors moving to 64-bit will help.
If you only have 32-bit java, the most memory you can allocate to java is 1GB. ZaphodX: You can allocate up to 1.5GB, but only 1GB will be used. Remember that even if you have 64-bit java installed, 32-bit java will run by default unless you have changed it.
1 Check if you have a 64bit operating system:
i) Click Start and right click 'Computer'/'My computer'
ii) Choose 'Properties' from the menu
iii) Under 'System' you should have 'x64 Edition' or '64-bit Operating System'
2 Install 64-bit java. I recommend java 6. Install java 7 at your own risk, I can not offer support if you choose to use java 7.
i) Go to http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp. Download 'Windows 7, XP Offline (64-bit)'.
ii) Double click the downloaded file and install 64bit java.
3 Change the default run path to the 64-bit version of java:
i)
For Windows XP:
Click Start -> Control Panel -> System -> Advanced
For Windows Vista/7:
Click Start and right click 'Computer'
Choose 'Properties' from the menu
Click 'Advanced' or 'Advanced system settings'
ii) Click on Environment Variables.
iii) Under System Variables, scroll down, find 'Path' or 'PATH', and click on it.
iv) Click the Edit button and then scroll to the front of the edit window, and paste this:
C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin;
v) Click OK->OK->OK
To verify you are using 64-bit java, open minecraft or your minecraft server. Press CTRL+SHIFT+ESC to open the task manager. Find java.exe and right-click it and select properties. If the location is ' C:\Program Files\Java\jre6\bin;' then it is using the 64-bit version of java.
If you only have 32-bit java, the most memory you can allocate to java is 1GB. ZaphodX: You can allocate up to 1.5GB, but only 1GB will be used. Remember that even if you have 64-bit java installed, 32-bit java will run by default unless you have changed it.

Damn the pc sucks *BUT NOT AS MUCH AS MINE, OWNED *ahhm sorry, Yea the server would run fine but better 4gb it will be smoother and hold up to more people and depending what those plugins are I say its fine
