As most members on the server know, we have our server hosted for us.
I would love to host the server myself, but living in the dorms with limited internet speeds during Fall and Spring semesters, it would by much laggier than anyone has experienced, except for today.
There has been many, and by that I mean 3 or more, MC servers on HGS that are using a lot of CPU at once. Due to that, we are affected. The server will lagg from CPU hogging. Until HGS or the server owners catch that, we will experience high amounts of lagg.
I will be monitoring the server closely. Any small info tidbits I find out I will post on twitter. I will later make a new post of what all I've found out.
Edit:
I do plan on making my own webserver to host a larger, more efficient. I'm saving up some money to make a computer, nothing beefy other than CPU and RAM, along with a decent SSD for storage, with linux.
Update:
Looking at CPU cores on the hardware server (the machine hosting our and many other MC servers). Many servers are still using all cores at 100%. No response from HGS. While working on a computer design project for a family member, I'm basing our new server hardware on theirs.
Update2:
HGS has acknowledged the issues and still working on it, though it's on all their servers at this time.
Personally, I'd have all the high CPU MC server temporarily shut down to be sure they are the main cause of the high CPU usage. But it's up to them. Until then, I have the plans for my own MC server to build. Will be a couple to 3 weeks before I can order the parts, at the soonest.
No really going fancy, just a good CPU, good amount of RAM, and going raid on 4 hard drives. Still tweaking the spechs, but looking forward to the build. No dedicated video card, not even a cd drive for now. Installing the OS via jumpdrive instead.
Info, News, and How-To blog. Sharing what I gathered since Jan. 1, 2011
Server: mc.mine-craft-den.com
Who Are We?
We have a real site as of 3-3-2012!
Trust us, it looks and feels better there!
MCDen @ Mine-Craft-Den.com
Other than just another random creative and survival server, we aim to do things differently than other servers dare: Allow and Do more than those pesky instructions say.
Join us on our server either by the game itself, or in Dynmap. We are running MineCraft 1.4.7 with Craftbukkit/Spigot and Spout. Spout Craft is Optional, But Preferred.
