I got a good old pc as a present (intel core i5 vpro 3x3.5ghz 16gb Ram 250gb ssd). Now I want to put a Minecraft server on it for me and my friends. I currently have a server with a host called Minehub and am not at peace (poor performance, high price). And now I would like to know whether it is worth it that I put the PC in front of you. That is our internet contract service: 25,000kbits / down 2000kbits / up is enough to be able to play smoothly, which I still play with my Pc in the same network?
You have to try it out for yourself.
The CPU is not that great.
How many friends are you?
So the ram and SSD are good, but you could run into problems with the processor.
If you are unsatisfied with the hoster I can recommend "deinserverhost".
Why should the processor cause problems
Minecraft mostly runs on only one core and the CPU is not necessarily very fast.
For example, if you have a large animal farm with many entities, it will quickly start to lag. Just like when several people explore the world and he has to generate many chunks.
Upload could become scarce for many players and if others are doing things at home. Rather, there will be connection problems or your Internet provider does not support IPv4 port sharing
The PC will do a lot.
