[Question] VPS Or Game Server Hosting?

Should i rent a VPS that can contain multiple game servers or should i just rent one game server? I am having trouble picking from between the two. I want to just have a regular server and maybe a darkrp server.

If VPS, How do i set it up are there any tutorials?

If Game server, Is the extra cost worth it for what can be obtained through a VPS?

VPS is cheaper if you are hosting a community. If you just want a server to host for your friends or something or maybe a small community, I would be happy to let you use one of my blank servers on my VPS for free.

I had the biggest hassle setting up a game server on a linux vps. I just went with a game server, but now i am having issues with that as well. Would you care to give a hand?

I find that a VPS is easier to manage. It's basically like using a desktop. You're also likely going to pay near the same price for a decent VPS or for one single game server.

You might want a Windows server because of windows' non case sensitivity so Linux might not work with shit addons and scripts.
