Help VPS COnfiguration and Server

[barao45]

Hello how are you?. I wanted to ask you what is your recommendation to place the servers online in a vps, should I use the databases locally on the server and then from another host use the web to connect to the databases?

Why would you do that?

[barao45]

because having everything together would consume a lot of pc resources?.

There would be no important difference on your resources. Also, there is a huge disadvantage on this, db connections will be delayed especially if the database is on a home computer. Long story short, it's 2022, you can order a dedicated machine with a decent cpu and nvme disk at very legit prices.

This depends on a lot of stuff. Excected player count, your budget, ddos protection, even your pack. As for the ddos protection people seem to like ovh's network. About pc specs, you can make a small research on benchmark sites. Example for cpu benchmarks https://www.cpubenchmark.net

viasky.co
hetzner.de 
ovh 

 

and use extra ddos protection, l2 is a bit dead dont expect more than 200 so even a microwave will work

You shouldn't connect your server db to your website, it's extremely easy to down your server attacking your webserver (+ potential security breaches if you suck at webcoding).

 

About the VPS itself, nowadays you can connect it to any VPS, from the moment you got 2G dedicated to JVM that's enough for 150-200ppl. You can even run it on a Raspberry Pi.

Its dosent matter. You will not host a server with 5000 players. 

You can host db and host in same machine. Also it will be cheaper for you, rather having two different machines/

You have two options:

1. API

2. Allow connect only website to your mysql. I mean limit IP address.
