Which one is better?

I'm looking to host my roleplay server. Is it better to use a VPS or a gameserver?

You would have a better chance getting hosted tab at the gameserver hosting site.

EDIT: on the otherhand, you would be able to host more things than just a samp server on the vps, but if you purchase a game server you wont have to worry about RAM usage and all that shit.

I would go for your own server, you can host more things on it. You don't have to worry about CPU or RAM usage. SA-MP is not very heavy.

First of all, hello.

I noticed you have added 'hostskool' on your list and to your wish list. Do you know how bad hot kool really is? People reported host for scams and fake payments also stealing game modes, this isn't a rumor, this is the sad truth!
It took us 2 weeks(Friends & Me & Host) to establish fully working MySQL database + connect it properly because their servers/data couldn't just simply support newer/older stuff, we had to go in the middle. Plus they removed our server like 48 hours before real expire date, what a shame huh?

Running SA: MP on your PC isn't the best idea since you are probably running Windows (not only the windows, lots of things) so I wouldn't recommend it, hosting on your PC will give you totally full power but no.

You don't need a NASA's supercomputer to host a proper server, even lowest configurations can take everything really good. Except for Y_INI Data Saving System. It depends from your HDD to server how much time will take to take a variable or save stat. Players want quick /savestats then instant /q. On regular HDD it shouldn't make problem but game-servers are designed in a way to improve this function.

You see, OVH host has 10 GB SSD memory, your server will load up really really faster and if you're using Y_INI .ini files will load faster than usual.

You won't fully use 10 GB, Let's do a statistic here, Regular Gamemodes take about 50 but let's circle them at 90, 90MB converted to GB is: 0.087890625, Plus if you are using Y_INI -- .ini files count few KB(s), and MySQL doesn't count storage in server files. So eventually you will end up using less than 1 GB. But there is always chance to increase to 1GB.

Purchase something that is really designed for SA: MP Servers, not buy cheapest VPS from an unknown guy. Maybe he won't scam/fool you but why would we use the washing machine if we can clean our clothes with water and stuff for clearing.

Where'd they say about running it on their PC, and it's not bad to get the gamemode setup and running on their home machine for basic testing, rather than sinking money into a VPS they won't be able to use because they can't get their gamemode running/setup in the first instance...

That "cheap" VPS is good enough for a server with 30-50 players online. I don't see why he should pay more for the same service at another company. This forum is full of tutorials about how to install a server on Linux based systems.

I highly suggest not to go with Hostskool. I was trying to set up a SA:MP server with MySQL data and it took, 5 tickets and 3 weeks to have my MySQL database set up. Terrible support team, tickets that don't get response for weeks. I understand that their services are cheap but still we're paying for it, not asking it for free, I just don't see the point can they satisfy new customers if their support is extremely bad and slow.

My suggestion is that you start learning how to use linux and buy your own server. Kimsufi also has cheap prices for good servers. Kimsufi is a branch of OVH (if I am not wrong). Check out their cheap amazing dedicated servers.
