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:
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:
We're new to hosting a server and Currently we are facing some problems:
- 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)?
- 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%
