Hello forum,
I'm looking into buying a 'proper' server, but am not sure what to get.

Will these specs be enough:
---
Monthly Bandwidth: 1,000 GB
Disk Space: 20GB
CPU: 1.2GHZ
RAM: 512MB
Port Uplink/Downlink: 100Mbit
---

If not, can you tell me the requirements for a server of about 50 people, +Mapandreas, +MySQL?

Thanks in advance,
JonRB

P.S. I don't want recommendations for "Other hosts" because I know this'll just turn into a hate thread for one host or another.

That will be fine, i'm running a setup of a similar type on a 256MB box.

Map Andreas is using a lot resources.

Thanks for the amazingly quick response!
Just out of interest, the next level up is this:
---
Monthly Bandwidth: 1,000GB
Disk Space: 40GB
CPU: 1.8GHZ
Guaranteed RAM: 1GB
Port Uplink/Downlink: 100Mbit
---

It has some good specs, but for double the price is it worth it?
Should I buy this option to decrease lag &c or stick with the cheaper one?

Indeed, it uses about 80MB of ram at a relatively constant rate. But with 512MB ram that should be enough... Shouldn't it?
(Not a rhetorical question, I actually want answers!)

Would you pay?

If you just want to run one server, the first vps will be enough. You can even host 2 or 3 servers with it.
The better vps would just pay out if you really need to host more servers.

You can't host "2 or 3 servers" with it if you want to host SA-MP servers that use MySQL and MapAndreas.

MySQL - about 200MB virtual max
3x Samp server with MapAndreas - 100MB each

500MB

So 3 servers might work, 2 server will work. Thats why I said "2 or 3 servers"
