After a lot of testing, I sadly do not have a good enough PC to run both my modpack client and server at the same time, so I have been looking at renting one. I am already pretty settled on a host, all I need right now is to know how much RAM I should be ordering for it.
I currently have 107 mods on the server and I expect about 6 players total to be playing (but probably only 4 at the same time) as it is just for a group of my friends. How much RAM should I be looking to get?
I'm in the process of building a much better server right now. You should check out the thread I posted "Cheap Server Build". With everything I'm just under $300 into it.
for modded i would look into a min of 3GB to start with and make sure you have a good processor also ask your host if it is shared to adjust your java args for moded
Why should he even bother? it's not helping him in the slightest, you are just bragging, and hoping you get views?
The post has zero value as far as this topic goes.
How much RAM will I need for ~100 mods and 8 players?
This greatly depends on the mods you use. No one can give an answer to this, especially when not mentioning the mods. It will be guess work for the most part.
Actually, Fritz said "looking to rent one" which costs "money". Money that could potentially be better spent towards a real server. So "YES", it was a valid reply...

Renting one is no less real than getting my own server, the difference is it costs a hell of a lot more to get my own which I do not have the money or the internet for as I don't plan on renting it longer than costing $300.

Well you never actually said what your budget was and you posted this thread a full day before I replied to it...
I was just trying to be nice and at the very minimum give you some kind of answer. Wasn't that kind of me?

Yeah I already decided to just guess and go for it. Got one with 3 and probably need 3.5 to be perfect but its good enough.

3-4 GB should do it. Probably 4. Good luck!

I would suggest looking in the 5gb range as you will get allot of player on it.
He said he wanted 6 players.
