Darthmineboy...a minecraft server can only utilize 1 core. A single core 4 Ghz CPU would be more suited for running minecraft servers than a Quad core 2 Ghz CPU.
GreenTitanLPEuropia79GreenTitanLPHello,
I've been paying $50 a month for hosting for a while, and want to have more control over it. My server right now has 8 Worlds and 51 plugins

We are looking to buy this PC and have it ONLY run the servers. Would this be able to run all that?

if you want to run Minecraft version 1.2.5 or below, then that computer will be fine.
if you want to run any Minecraft version 1.3 or higher, it will NOT work.
Reference the link above: posted Aug 17th 2012... where I ran a Minecraft server with a Core Duo... Notice how the average CPU usage in 1.2.5 was only 10% (with 30 plugins). Then notice how the average CPU usage went up in 1.3 to an average of 40% (heavy spikes from 10% to 80%).
When you run a server, there are 3 primary things to consider:
(1) What is your upload speed ?
(2) How powerful is your CPU ?
(3) How much RAM do you have ?
And also, like others are saying... you want server grade hardware that can withstand the stress of running all the time.
I would suggest you focus your server concept... Don't try to attract all different types of players... Choose 1 primary concept and do it well... I would suggest that you dump Skyblock because it's gay. If you want a cooler idea, do a Space World (similar in concept, but not gay because hardly any servers do a Space World).
I suggest you focus on either McMMO, Factions, or Survival as your primary... As your secondary focus, you can add Creative and/or Minigames.
Since you're utilizing less RAM, try to get your budget down to $30 per month and find a good VPS provider because that root SSH access will give you complete control over your server... And that's one of the things you wanted: more control.
At $30 per month, you can last 10 months without donations... Since you're focusing on one thing and doing it well, donations will be easier to get because your players will recognize that you have a quality server environment that's enjoyable.
I will NOT change my type of server, we are diverse in our game types and will stay that way.
Alright, I did find a dedicated server - https://www.dedispec.com/client/cart.ph ... roduct&i=0
Here's the issue, I have NO idea how to run a server off this, and I feel setting up BungeeCord would be hard without any help. I was able to do it off of a Windows Computer, and Shared Hosting was easy. This just seems impossible, since I don't normally use Linux. Can anyone point me in the right direction toward how I would access this?
