Keep in mind, that GHz is not everything. Do you remember to the 5GHz AMD FX CPUs? They also had a very high CPU clock, but the performance was like those of a potatoe or a toaster.

So the Xeon Gold 6140 has a single thread score of 1871 points @ 2.30GHz. Lets take a Intel Core i7 2600K - it has a single thread score of 1747 point at 3.40 GHz.

(got these values from cpubenchmark.net)

As you can see in this comparison: the CPU clock is nearly meaningless in your use case. Take a look at the single thread performance of the CPU benchmarks.

Ah ok interesting. Apoligies im not as tech savy as others on this forum. You guys are helping a lot.

I compared the xeon gold 6140 to my home pc's CPU which is quite old. https://www.cpubenchmark.net/c…-Intel-i5-3570K/3132vs828

It seems my home pc has better single threading. I mean its not terrible but as you said even though the clock is quite a bit lower, the performance isnt too much lower. Guessing the cpu mark is higher due to so many more cores of the xeon gold.

Its not just one PlugIn, its the complete minecraft server which needs primary single core performance. As of this reason it is recommended to split your server in as much server instances, as possible - for example by using bungeecord / waterfall.

But one thing should be clear to you - you dont have access to the cpu of the host system, because you dont gover about it. Its the host system (bare metal hypervisor) of netcup, who gover about it.

Well - just try it out. I also run multiple minecraft server instances on a RS2000 SSDx4 - they are running quiet well.

(and you valkari)..

I'm going to be using movecraft which is particularly CPU intensive. I wouldn't expect more then 10 players on at once, but there may be 200k blocks moving every 2 seconds via worldedit mechanics movecraft uses (with a bunch of other things such as WG region block checks). My 3.4 ghz local host can just about 200k blocks i think. But netcup's CPU sits at 2.4 ghz unless clocked or however you say it.

I will buy the package and give it a shot again, i cancelled my previous one after thinking it was netcup's CPU causing major issues but it was a bugg, still i dont know how well it will work. Will have to see. All i know is though if the server is capped at 2.4 ghz it wont be ideal and i might have to look elsewhere for better performance. Mind you the only dedicated servers out there with better specs seem to be $50 a month atleast!

Hi,

Please read up about base clock and boost clock of CPUs.

Basically base clock is the sustained and guaranteed clock speed when all cores are utilized to usually stay within thermal and power limits. Boost clock is exactly what the name implies and lets a single (or multiple, depending on the application) core boost beyond the base clock to provide higher performance in scenarios where a higher single threaded performance is needed.

There's no overclocking (clocking beyond specs) in that sense since stability is crucial for servers and you don't wanna take any risks.

As far as I know Netcup passes through the boost clock but only if it is available at the time. So it kinda depends on your neighbors and the host as well. Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.

Ah damn. Becuase after ive been learning admin/security stuff as i was planning on hosting a minecraft server off one of netcups root servers at some point. With one of the plugins i'm using its quite demanding of CPU and single thread performance. Whether the plugin/software used for my game server would demand more CPU from the system or simply slow down in performance on their end, i don't know.

Thanks all. Turns out they come overclocked to their CPU's max capacity.. so 6140 is 3.7 ghz and the other is 3.9. so i dont need to even edit the clocking. am i right in thinking they always run at this? I was having an issue which i thought was to do with netcup's CPU but it was something else. Upon googling their CPU (due to the nature of the problem) i thought the CPU's had weak ghz because i saw their default setting for the 6140 was quite low at 2.4ghz... but it can be clocked to 3.7.

So guessing you cant get to your hosts bios screen to overclock it?

Your CPU is just a process on a real CPU. You have no further access to the physical hardware.

Which virtual machine get's the turbo is up to the host's operating system.

No, you can't.

Am i right in thinking i can ask them? If so do they normally say yes or?

With my root server package i've noticed that the base frequency for the "Intel® Xeon® Gold 6140 Processor" CPU that it comes with is only 2.3 GHZ, did some googling and apparently its max turbo frequency is 3.7 ghz. Can i overclock (if thats the right term) my server so it runs on that?

If one was to only enable 25565 ports through a ufw firewall.. how safe would that make the server? Providing you have disabled the root user and made a new one with a unique pass world and denies all incoming connections. Enabled just ssh.

Just out of concern that it could already be comprimised which i don't think it has. Do netcup servers come with NAT firewalls? and when you buy a server isnt it locked to only be conected from port 20 with the root access permission?

How is it that 40€ is too expensive for you, yet you are offering to pay someone?

40 euros a month adds up. 20 pounds odd payment or something to setup something wouldnt be bank breaking. I'm reading through your comments now. I mean i've got a live active server. Can i turn it off while i configure settings or something or are you advising me to literally delete the service.

Any suggestions to where i'd go about starting on learning new stuff regarding this in terms of guides/wiki's?

Thanks for the advice. I'm not planning on giving out the address. I'm planning on going ahead and just not making it pulic. I've heard putting your ip through cloudflare can help with security. I mean it sounds like if i remote host/portforward from home something similar could happen. I really need the root servers' spec's for this project im working on.

I've already got a lot to do working on this solo atm, perhaps il pay someone at a later point when it decide to make it go public to add DDOS protection and other stuff.

I don't have any experience but i want to gain some. This server would start off as just being a one for friends/mostly me. Issue is im planning on running movecraft which needs high specs to run it well. I can't afford a 40 pound a month server. I'm hoping over the 3-6 months of me working on the server content i will be able to acquire the knowledge to run this server publically. I'm not sure on the legal consquences, im just hoping i can run a minecraft server, without using a copyrighted domain name.

Thanks for your help so far, im dead new to linux which is the problem. i've hosted my own localhost server at home via windows and used managed server like serverprominer but they have horrible pricing for what i need.

EDIT: i was hoping i could just go off the video tutorial for setting this up. for the near future it would just be accessed by me, it wouldnt be a public server.

So i got it wrong, the webserver means like apache2. Does netcup come with one of those? Or do i need to install one?

What do people think of this guide?

I'm planning on using it to setup my server, the guy seems to be updated.

My current obstacle is trying to install ptero using my webserver but my rDNS alone doesnt seem to be sufficient, do i need to buy a domain?
