Dedicated VPS vs Dedicated Server


Question

Posted

Hello guys.

 

I've been browsing through the possibilites and offers of some hosting companies, especially OVH.

 

And my question would be the following:

 

Let's say I have a High Five server with 400 - God forbid 800 players. (for exemple).

 

Would be a VPS cloud with 12 or 24 GB Ram enough and stable?  Or should I invest in a 32- 64 GB dedicated machine, if so why? I mean, L2 servers have been around for more than 10 years, long before these 32 gb+ dedicated servers. Yet, I can see quite a few servers with 500 or less online playesr that use such dedicated machines.

 

Thanks in advance.

and I assume i can use navicat on my pc to remotely connect to the database on on the VPS or dedi. Or is it a bad idea for any reason?

About that, you have to keep in mind that allowing remote access to your dedi/vps database means that if for instance somehow someone got the db details (usually the db name will be the default one from the pack and most users their user/pass is user root/pass none or pass root) anyone knowing the db details can connect to your database remotely, making this option unsafe. Just keep it in mind.

 

p.s. Thanks @Nightw0lf for noticing that you didn't get a reply on that.

It's like saying don't provide your PayPal / email address to people, otherwise they will crack your ass. It's not even worth to mention.

To allow tunneling you create new username and it's obvious you set some wild or not database password. Database name, username and passwords it's up to you. You can always allow connection from specific ip. 

So.. Pointless note to be honest. :D

Well, unfortunately not everybody knows that, i've seen this a lot of times while creating websites with scripts having the same details as the ones in the server configs because they didn't know about that ;p

That's fine to the moment you set your own username and strong password. Even with default database name, root user, while you use strong password that's OK. Cracking 16 chars password with symbols, letters, upper case.. Would take years, so.. :p

I believe they leave like that to don't give you the real pass / it's still under preparation, no live, so defaults can stay for a while :D

Otherwise you work with total newbies and they deserve to be 'hacked' :(

    • We have the best prices for Adena on L2Reborn. discord - adver745645
    • Played the first 20 lvls in the OBT, very promising indeed. Quests seemed to be working fine for the most part although there's no need for the repetitive quests in the start since with x3 rates (x4 with premium which is pretty cheap tbh) adena from mobs outperforms the repetitive quests since you outlevel them in the early stage before you finish the quest, one time quests are good though and that's where is the juice. Idk how the og elixir was since I was a kid but this is definetely going to be much easier than your usual x1-2 no buffs server since GK is free for the first 40 lvls and you get basic 6 basic normal buffs even after low levels, that's not a bad thing for a lot of people though. Will be there on the opening.
