Hello everyone,

im creating a multiplayer game and i want to manage my own servers. I want at least 20 people per server. Im planning on building a dedicated server for less than $700, suggestions?
 
What kind of specs do you need for the server? If your having 20 or so people join your server you also have to look at your upload/download internet speeds as well.

I have a HP DL380 gen6 that runs Hyper-v 4 core 16GB of ram for a Rust server and does just fine. theoretical i could spin up 3 maybe 4 VM servers for rust on 1 DL380 and could be fine.

Gen6 and 7 are really cheap on ebay, a gen 8 would push the budget maybe just depends on what deal you can find.
 



Bought 2 DL380 gen6 servers from them a few years ago, good people and even helped out when i was having issues with one.
