Even a 2 GB VPS from OVH handles both on the same server pretty well, though the number of max players on the Minecraft server may have to be limited to a certain quantity.

You never heard of overselling? Some providers use 64 GB RAM & cheap CPU (or not) servers to allocate more than 1 TB of RAM to VMs, and host like 250 VMs in one server especially in OVZ, so "dedicated" RAM doesn't really exist, and CPUs are shared, if one user is abusing it by running some CPU intensive program, it'll affect the rest of the VMs, not to mention that the 1 Gbit/s port is also shared.


Please note that only bad (shitty, or whatever you call them) providers do this, yeah there's good providers doing a healthy oversell that doesn't affect users, but you'll never be sure while having a VM, so a small Ј20 dedi will be the best solution.


So basically, if you want better performance, truly dedicated resources and more security, get a dedicated server.
