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 !
