What kind of hardware is required to run a medium scale server (30 players)?

[Parmind]

My vs community is struggling at finding a good hosting solution. People keep getting beefy VM plans from Nitrado or Gportal and the server lag is unbarable whenever there is anyone exploring new chunks. My question is what type of service might be good to run a lagless server at 20-30 players in 1.18.

I am looking into barmetal servers from ovhcloud, something like this:

Intel Xeon-E 2386G - 6c/12t - 3.5GHz/4.7GHz

32GB ram

512GB SSD

 

Would this be sufficient or overkill?

You're more likely to get an answer to this if you hop on Discord and talk directly to admins from large servers like Aury Fury, or even the official test server. There's probably only a dozen people or so in the entire VS community who even have the experience required to give a non-speculative answer.
