title: Tips for Minecraft Server Administration

This is a kind of catch-all page. I've gathered a number of random tid-bits from my time hosting a server. Some bits merit there own page, and in the cases where one is written, there will be a link. Some don't need anymore than a list or a few sentences.

# Hosting
|
|
All *I've* ever done in regards to hosting is on-prem. There are plenty of suggestions out there if you would rather use a hosted service or self-host using a vps. If you're going the on-prem route, however, I might be able to provide some tips.

## Hardware
|
|
The main considerations are **RAM**, **CPU** and **GPU**.
|
|
### CPU
|
|
This is honestly the most important variable. You don't need an overpowered CPU, but a high clock speed really will make a difference (GHz is what you're looking for). Minecraft is famously single-threaded, so prioritize single-core performance over more cores.
|
|
### RAM
|
|
You need a decent about of this stuff if you want to run a multiplayer server. I like allocating right around **8gb** *dedicated to the Minecraft server*. It is essential to leave headroom for the operating system.
|
|
### GPU
|
|
I honestly haven't explored this avenue very extensively. It might be possible to offload some stuff, but I'm not sure how much this effects the server-side. |
