Multiplay or Perfection Servers?
By: Bla Date: October 24, 2013, 9:04 am
---------------------------------------------------------
Vote for whether you think we should continue to host Blacraft
on Perfection Servers or Multiplay.
Some current stats on Multiplay:
Cost: 7.75 £/month (69 DKK)
Slots: 8 players
Memory: 600 MB
Current stats on Perfection Servers:
Cost: 11.97 USD/month (66 DKK)
Slots: 12 players
Memory: 1024 MB
"Features: 1 GB Dedicated RAM, Full FTP Access, RAMDisk Storage,
Ready for Vanilla/Craftbukkit and virtually all plugins, Free
On-Demand Backups, 24/7 Support, Multicraft Control Panel,
Instant Setup."
For comparison, Multiplay with 12 players and 1024 MB RAM costs
13.55£/month (121 DKK).
---
I think I do experience more lag on Perfection than Multiplay,
horses often seem very laggy and water also seems laggy, Yqt
reports that redstone in general is also more laggy. I think
their CPU or whatever else might be responsible may be worse
than Multiplay's, which could explain some of the cost
difference. But it is true that it has much more memory, and
more slots, for the same amount of money, and the restarts no
longer happen. For these reasons, I think I will prefer
Perfection Servers.
You have 23 days from now to vote, and you can change votes
until the poll closes.

Ever since we moved to the perfection servers, the restarts have
stopped, I'll take that even if there is a bit of lag.
As for the location, can we have one in the US.
With the horses, they have the same amount of lag problems as
minecarts do.

We haven't tried any servers in US, but Darvince has complained
a bit about it, even though many US and Canada players don't
experience the lag that he has complained about, making me think
it's unlikely that it'll make much of a difference, in any case
the distance between Arizona and Germany is about 5800 km, a
distance that it would take light 0.02 seconds to travel, with
the occasional chest lag lasting for seconds and things like
that I doubt that is the important thing here. The same argument
could be used to say it really doesn't matter if I host it in
USA or Europe the other way around. It probably doesn't matter
much. It would be a bit of a mess to move server again though
unless we upgrade if the location isn't important.
Why do you want it in US smjjames?

I thought maybe we could give it a try and see how well it
works, but if it's going to be a mess to do, then ok.

The amount of mess it would be would be the same that it was to
move from Multiplay to this one. Downloading everything,
uploading and setting it all up again.

Yeah and that was definetly a bit of a hassle, so, change vote
to stay on current server in Germany.

I noticed that in Perfection though it is less laggy when we
have more people on, so maybe we don't get the full 1024MB
unless 10 or more people are on?

Lag shouldn't depend on RAM amount, only on RAM type, CPU, etc.
If you run out of RAM the server will simply crash.
