Best current host for modded ?
Hello,
I can't post in Marketplace. I am looking for the best plans for a Forge 1.20.1 dedicated server with 200+ mods for <10 players, located in Europe, and if possible, France.
Budget is between 16-40€ monthly.
I have previously tried Godlike hosting and I am very disappointed with the server performance, which has not increased from when I've been self-hosting and playing on my laptop. As soon as we are 2-3 players playing at the same time, the server couldn't keep up and we were always lagging, most notably the entities were almost immobile. The plan included a AMD Ryzen 7 5800X CPU, 8 GiB RAM and a SSD for something like 40$ a month.
I am not as savvy as most of you. However for this price, I expect no lag for this small amount of players. Also I have already pre-generated a 7000 blocks radius around our playing area with Chunky, yet the exploration or being in different parts of the map seems to cause heavy lag.
From what I've gathered, the best way to get a solid performance is to get a Ryzen 9 7950X/9950X CPU, on top of SSD Nvme, and 6-8 GB RAM.
Thus I am looking for a reliable hosting solution which includes this CPU if possible and is not located too far away from France to get decent ping.
My main criteria is flawless performance. I pre-generate the world and use approved performance mods, so I expect the TPS to remain high.
If there is a customer support skilled in modded server management, that's a good plus.
Thank you for your help and I would love to read your recommendations and pro-tips if you've got some !

Sahara Compute is a relatively new hosting service that has been performing well, with no complaints received so far. Overall, it comes highly recommended.
Tank Tussle runs their servers on Sahara, and they have not encountered any issues so far.

Tank Tussle, a popular community ran by the Youtuber Qarsan has had a major issue with server performance. See how Sahara Compute fixed that
Interesting, thank you for the recommendation ! Is the ping good for Europe though ?
I'm in the UK, and I typically average between 60MS and 80MS. Your experience might be different.
The Ryzen 9 9950x machine is located in Florida.
We plan to expand into Europe in the future.
Is there a way to do a ping test from the website ?
what? That's just vercel
It is?
Oh whoops forgot
I thought i connected it with my Mc server
23.153.72.34
Ping that
120ms is a bit too high for me unfortunately so I'm hesitant because the rest of the plan is appealing
here are just a few hosts that are known in the community. I'm not sure if all of them are in europe, but most should have a europe location. Feel free to take a look and figure out which one seems to be the best deal for your usecase.
Pebblehost, Pufferfish, Bloom, Prism, Lilypad, EnviroMC, ServCity, Birdflop, and Berrybyte
I recommend ServCity for Europe.
Thank you for your recommendations ! I'm currently comparing every offer right now.
they are a MASSIVE scam host
never suggest them.
they rob hardware from other hosts (mainly ruby) the owner is facing legal issues with ruby for stealing hardware. forging signatures and etc
overall bad host
Thank you Clyde for this important precision !
I'm thinking of going with either Prism or Lilypad, they both seem very good to me, it's hard to decide 🤔
I was gonna say, the "data center" is the same one that does ruby...
yeahhhh
hey, sahara compute employee and investor here. i'm not sure how to make this sound un-shill-y, considering my clear conflict of interest, but i can personally vouch for cam as a cool person. i'm not fully aware of any legal action going on but i personally use sahara for all my compute stuff and it's been smooth sailing so far
i am not aware of any fraudulent behavior by cam and will immediately quit if i find out it's true. at the moment it looks like the ruby owner's personal grudge against him for leaving
if in europe, then maybe teracast? nvm i'm dumb, i thought teracast had a europe location but it doesn't
we're also in a different datacenter. the ruby DC is in dallas, we're in miami
doesn’t change the fact that the only two bgp customers at that “datacenter provider” are you and ruby
(i don't know the technical details on the networking or hosting side, i just do marketing and BD)
oh wait @Cam has a new account now whoops
uhh
Only 2???
I wouldve though PlasmaDC had more customers
Its the one all summerhosts go to so they can say they have ddos protection lol
when they're charging almost $300 for 4u...
Oh lol
So it's a reseller of a reseller of a reseller
You have no idea how many summerhosts have plasma ips
And also an entire page explaining how their proprietary ddos protection is the best
Even tho its just resold resold resold path
it's neoprotect
They switched to neo?
Even worse lol
Resold resold resold resold datapacket
and their ipv6 is just cogent, which makes me wonder if the same link for cogent ipv6 is used for their neo bgp session...
Lol
Likely
they claim it's a 40gbps link. do with that what you will
Who
idk, anybody
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
plasmarack is teracast now afaik
Teracast Networks
Teracast Networks LLC
Enterprise digital infrastructure and service provider offering affordable cloud and internet services for all.
Yeah.... 40gbps lmao
I might be dumb but isn't this just measuring your internet speed?
My server has 40gbps
Plasma's link is only 1g
If they had 40g it should show a bit more
ohh wait youre hosting in plasmarack
Unless they limited the speedtest for 1g which is stupid
No
Im not
Ew
oh
lmao
We were talking about their service and how they claim 40gbps, i saw them on speedtest and decided to test
maybe the particular server theyre using for the speedtest only has 1Gbps but the upstream connection is 40Gbps? idk i have no idea how this works
ill go ask cam hes more knowledgeable than me on this
btw @Upioti we've rented space in a cogent dc and are probably gonna be doing things from there in the future instead of using teracast
@Cam
please keep the admincrafters away
thanks
alright then
they scare me
lol
lol
lol
Yeah it's possible but why? You want a speedtest server to speedtest correctly, usually most servers are at least 10g
idk
i speed test local host
can i claim i have a 200493929383tbit network? :trollface:
Vietnam hosts:
:thumb:
lol
You could have just recommended long-standing and reputable companies and not ones you have a vested interest in, in the first place :)
i didnt really have any equity or get paid lmao
I mean, you still put forward the host because of your affiliation with it
