Looking for critiques or suggestions for a dedicated Minecraft Server I am building.
Im self hosted on a AMD Ryzen 5 7600X with 64GB of DDR5 with 2TB NVMe with a 6TB HDD for backups. The whole build was about $1100 from a mixture of Amazon and Newegg.
The upfront cost was only slightly more then the monthly rental price for a bare metal server of similar performance.
Power is cheap we're I host from. (Right next to a hydroelectric dam.)
Using Xfinity home internet for years with a custom network setup. Never had any issues other then garbo upload (~25Mbps) and the occasional script kiddie DoSing the server.
In the latter case, Just log and report the IPs to their abuse email and move on.
In my opinion the biggest cost to self hosting is time. But if you already mess with IT as a hobby it's not bad at all.
My main issue with cloud hosting is trust.
You have to trust your data on someone else's computer.
