Hello everyone, currently i'm hosting my own server and have been planning to get a hosting company to do it for me because I don't like hearing the sound of my computer at night, so i just wanted to ask a few questions

I was wondering what type of hosting i would need to get to be on par with what my computer can currently host at the moment.

Also could somebody explain to me what are some major differences and advantages of having a hosting company compared to hosting it on your own computer?

Currently my computer has 8 gigs of ram, a quad core i-5 3570k at 3.4ghz
My speed-test results are :
(not sure what else on my computer is used for the server so if i missed something just ask for it)

The major limitation for hosting out of your house is your upload speed is always poor. If you have a bit more technical knowhow I would suggest getting a VPS. (Virtual Private Server) You have complete control over what goes on it and they are rather affordable.

This is the company I use

If I may still recommend you a hosting company I recommend ClanSlots

They charge you per slot and not for RAM, this means you have 'unlimited' RAM I personally host my Tekkit server with them it's moderately 'big' and it runs great!

Customer Support is 10x better then Beastnodes (I've been a customer with them)
They reply almost instantly (there is always someone on live chat)

Here's a link if you want to further explore what they have to offer.

It all depends on how you run your server, like did you only dedicate 4gb to your server or max it out to 7gb? And the speed will be massively increased due to the connection speed and the solid state drives they use.

I would guess by the player slot ammount and maybe get one package above that.

Yes, www.beastnode.com has some really good features and the internet speeds are in the gigabytes surpassing your speeds

Plus, they're cheap!
