    2 core 2.4 ghz 8gb ram 40gb ssd
    1 core 2.4 ghz 6gb ram 25gb
    1 core 3.1ghz 2gb ram 25gb
    Quad core 3.4ghz 3gb ram 300gb HDD - no ddos protection

    All the same price

    Cores vs ghz vs ram vs SSD
    Which ones better for server hosting?

    I currently have a Intel® Xeon® 3.4GHz - Dual Core
    1GB RAM | 300GB HDD
    For cheaper but it's sluggish and loading the server takes a good few minutes.

    Performance wise what's better:
    More cores less ghz
    More ram no ssd
    More ghz less ram

    I'll be the first to admit that I am far from an expert when it comes to VPS or server hosting, but I'd say the first and last options are the only real competitors.

    I'll start with the DDOS protection aspect of the two. Any major server will want to have this resource, as it's very valuable in protecting against attacks that could potentially bring a server down for a good while. I used to believe that only servers with larger, more diverse player bases needed DDOS protection, but any 11-year-old with a hint of problem solving skills and internet access could figure out how to DDOS someone.

    Dismissing the concern of DDOS protection for a moment, the SSD will give you much quicker access to your files than an HDD. While a dual-core processor is obviously the slower choice, running a server doesn't require all that much processing power, meaning a quad-core would be overkill, given the circumstances.

    I've never attempted to run a RuneScape server locally, but I have hosted many Minecraft servers on an older Intel-based computer (2.3 ghz, 4 GB RAM) and it worked fine for ~15 people. I hope these two scenarios are relatively similar - if not, my information might not be as useful. Good luck!

    The RAM and SSD will do you a big favour when it comes to serverhosting.

    Get a VPS from OVH.

    Literally ran AbyssalPS with 250 players on a $36 VPS without any issues, ever.
