Maintenance VPS game servers

Post by It'sRandinator »

How much maintenance has to be done on a unmanaged vps, is it like a dedi? I understand you need to install updates when available on windows and linux.

Do game servers need lots of ram? Looking at the two core option and it only has 2GB. I know you can purchase more ram. Should 2GB be enough for 3 servers.

I wouldn't say too much maintenance needs to happen, but there are definitely additional steps when running your own servers. As for the ram, that depends on what you're running.

Can you expand on that? I plan to run Debian.

What I mean is there is just more responsibility in a self-managed environment. You would be tasked with handling every aspect of server itself, along with installing, configuring and diagnosing any server issues that arise.
