    Need consult for buying a dedicated server

    Hello

    I need to know what is the minimum hardware requirement for 1 dedicated server with this usage:

    More than 30 clients on main server and 2 vps with average 60 clients. Currently this sites are hosted on a vps with 768mb of ram and 50 gb disk space.

    my budget is under $120 per month.

    Thanks

    I think, for vps purposes, memory is more important than CPU.
    For your budget you might find a quad core, I would suggest taking at least 4 GB of ram with it.

    Guess Quad Core with 4GB RAM will be fine for you, AutoCrat.
    And your budget is o'k as well. 1paket.com has such a server, you may try them.

    AutoCrat, are you actually trying to get a server and split it into 3 VPS's? Is that the correct idea here? Also are you actually looking for a Control Panel as well for all the 3 VPS's?

    Or are you actually wanting to combine all the 3 VPS's into 1 Dedicated Server? Not too sure which is which. Can explain?

    When you're talking about independent control panels, are you referring to eg. 3 cPanel licenses since they are all on different VPS. If that's the case, then you'll totally need to increase your budget quite a bit more.

    cPanel on 1 VPS would cost about $15. So 3 would be around $45 per month. Taking that off the $120/month budget, it's going to leave you with around $75/month for the server. That's not going to be enough to get a decent looking server.

    By the way, since you're splitting it to 3 VPS, you'd need at least, bare minimum a Quad Core. As for RAM, it depends on how each site over there is going to eat up your RAM. But since you're on 768MB RAM and still OK, I guess having about 3-4GB RAM should be good enough for you.

    With that, I'm still talking about bare minimum. Not even going further from it yet.

    I assume his budget is without the control panels.

    I know I must spend more bucks for cp license.

    Do you recommend leaseweb servers?

    Their price range is good I think

    Are you going to host your servers in EU/US? LeaseWeb is in the EU if I'm not mistaken. Is that where you would like your server to be at?
