reccomendations on which datacenter to use would be helpful as well, server I'm looking at is in helisinki finland
east coast should sit around 100-120ms
Wouldnt do that one
west coast you’re looking upwards of 180
Known to be subpar latency wise compared to germany
1180 is very high huh
if you’re expecting a lot of us players just host USE 🤷♂️
i swear
mars rover ass delay
💀
I decided to pick up a server in germany instead and I'm getting latency results of about 150ms in the midwest (roughly illinois region)
should be fine for a non-competitive mc server, right?
are you in the midwest?
depends if your players are fine with that
i mean if theres eu and us players someones gonna get ping
I guess I'll see how it goes
and yes I am from the midwest
as long as its stable 150 players should be fine with it
it would be like playing hypixel from eu🤷♂️
you'd need some sort of ddos protection, so add on that latency too
hetzner comes with ddos protection however I do not know how good it is
very awful
which is why I said about ddos protection
cloudflare is the way to go right?
would be a very expensive solution
for MC servers common options are tcpshield/neoprotect for proxying the MC server
let me look into those
ive only used tcpshield out of the two
this is my first time hosting a public minecraft so I'm not super familar with all the security and stuff
I'd recommend hiring a sys admin
or something
I'll probably do that at a later date
I think for the start I can handle all the system stuff, it's not my first time doing server maintinence or running a minecraft server
alright
Do note a panel can leak ip if done incorrectly causing neoprotect/tcpshield to be ineffective
a panel as in something like multicraft?
God please dont use multicraft but yes
Use pelican/ptero
alright
I also like using AMP but it is premium
