Hi all just a quick question, could anyone tell me if it would be possible to run a small server on a rented hyper v server ?

Yeah a crystal server would run providing windows is installed. I run a server on server 2012 with no issues. Doesnt matter if its virtualised.

You need pretty good specs though

Hi mate, could i get away with 12gb ram with 2 cores ?
Also would 300gb bandwidth be enough 1gb up and 1gb down line

ram more than enough, depends on the processor, how many threads and cycles it has etc. I've heard people not always get good performance from virtualized cpus.

Be better if you can try it before purchasing it as can't say easily otherwise.

Careful with Virtual servers, as you need to get the balance of cores and processors right or it can actually have a degraded performance on the server.

No problem mate, I'm confident it should still run. I've paid for a low package at the moment just to give it a test...... if it doesn't ... it doesn't lol

do you guys know what sort of bandwidth roughly 50 players would use per month ?

if you're not using it to host the client - then hardly anything.

under 1GB easily

well guys
just thought I would let you guys know just incase your ever curious in the future. I went ahead and got myself a hyper v server ..... very low spec just to check if woool would work.

I'm running server 2012 r2 with 1 core, 1gb ram on a 1gb line.

myself and sanity have connected to it and spawned around 300 mobs in one spot........ Its still running sweet as a nut.

Thanks very much again far.

I ran my server on a Cloud server for first month.

It was 6 Cores, 4GIG of ram, It ran, but there was a server delay. I wouldn't recommend it for anything over 5-10 players.

Wouldnt recommend virtual servers, be it VMware of hyperv, not sure why but must be something in the code that doesnt like VMs

The cycle delays on a VM with 24 cores etc had cycle delays of 150-350+
On a physical host with 4 cores it was <10

Just get a cheap physical host from ovh
