Paper Server 1.20.4 Connection and Performance Issues
We're hosting a worldbuilding smp style kingdoms server with a bunch of plugins like citizens, denizen, betonquest, mythic mobs & crucible & dungeons, multiverse, etc. and are aiming to reach a maximum online of ~40 concurrent players in this year (having ~5 at the current moment).
We're new to hosting a server and Currently we are facing some problems:
1. We have players from around the globe, Some people are having packet loss - they log on, run around for 30 second and get timed out, while others from the same region / continent are doing ok (sometimes I my self get this out of the blue). We suspect it has something to do with eu's restrictive gateway and server location (london)?
2. Even though the server is doing good, the Spark report is concerning and some metrics are different from what the hosting pannel shows - the RAM always oscillates between 3 and 8 gb with 1 player, going up to 12 with more and the panel show no more than 5-10% CPU usage while the report show 98%
I'll be very thankful if you guys can provide me with some insight on how can I further optimize the server and fix the issues.
Also we're planning to change hostings (we're paying 70$ for the bellow specs, try to guess our current hosting... ) and I'd like to know which server location is the best compromise to allow NA, EU and AU players to play together? (I heard Florida is a good location)
What other stuff should we be aware of when choosing and transferring to a new host?
Specs: 16 gb ram (upgraded from 8), good cpu (don't know the model my self, will need to ask my mate who bought the plan), London
Spark reports with 4 players across the map:
