Hello... I'm new to the forums. I want to start a Rust server. Before going to a hosting service and choosing a subscription, I need some advice on requirements for a server using mods. If I have say no more than 10 players online with Oxide/uMod and a dozen mods installed with that be an issue using a hosting service with 8mg's ram and normal CPU priority?
Obviously I'm trying to avoid paying for a month only to find out lag and restarts make it unplayable. Thanks in advance for any advice or direction, including recommendations on a good host provider. I would try hosting from my home but no extra pc's at the moment.
Server host needs modding?
Find a GSP that will sell you a server that just works. You shouldn't have to be concerned with how much ram you need. Those kinds of GSPs count on you just having a few players, so they over sell the hardware. When you do have 'lags and restarts' they are going to want you to upgrade. It really depends on your map size and what plugins exactly.
