OK so Yeah like I know there are a bazilion of these these threads already but what is a forum for other then starting threads that cater to what you need/want?
Any who, Im looking at starting a private FTB minecraft server, I figure that it would be me playing on it most of the time, but I will also give 4 other friends access to it. So maybe 6 people on at a busy day. My play style is pretty server intensive I assume, I like to have the overworld, the nether, and atleast 1 mystcraft age, if not 2-3 running at a time. Of course most everything takes place in the overworld with 1 mystcraft age coming in second place, then the nether and the rest of the mystcraft ages are used for lava generation and maybe something like a good resource for sand or trees.
I like to build a lot like DW20 (though I try and make things pretty also)and I like to have a sorting machine going, a few rail carts doing things, a main base a few small specialized bases.
I do not like lag. I built a thousand dollar gaming rig a few months ago just to make sure that I wouldn't have any lag when using the computer for gaming/adobe stuff, Modded minecraft was a big reason for this.
So there is a bit about what I like, dont like, feel I should have and shouldn't have. What kind of server would I need? What creeperhost pack would fit me the best without spending more then I have to OFC. Also what kind of things does a person look for in a Minecraft server host? What should I know before I go out and grab some random server package from some server host? What kind of specs should a server have for my uses? How much ram? Yatta yatta yatta.
The FTB pack I plan on using is a custom Ultimate pack when it come out BTW.
Basically I would like to start my server running "career" (though its just for fun), but I have little to no idea what to look for or what knowledge I should have before I start. Please be kind about your replies, yes I am a complete and total noob when it comes to servers but a guys gotta start somewhere right?
Edit: Oh and one other thing. I hear people constantly saying how expensive Creeper host is, yet 2gbs ram for the "zombie" package is 17$ and that seems to be about the same price (Give or take a few bucks) as most everywhere else. So my question her is what is the difference then?
