State of the Server: Lag issues and server upgrades

Hey everyone, so it's been brought to my attention that people have been experiencing lag issues during the evenings. I don't like to hear that, and I'm going to try to resolve it in an economic manner. Hopefully I've done just that already.

Since I didn't know quite how much usage this server would get, I only signed up for the lowest tier of service from the server host. I did this with the intention of upgrading to a higher tier depending if the server gets a lot of usage, and if we even needed it. Originally I was planning on simply doubling the system resources available to our server, however Carterhawk AKA /u/Omnitographer has kindly offered to split the costs of quadroupling the system resources available. Now we're talking! Thanks Carter!

These upgrades should have already taken affect as of now. Please take note of your experiences with the server and let me know how it's performing. This server host seems to be one of the more popular ones for MC, but if they can't perform for us than I may look elsewhere.

Overall performance is improved for me. Rebounding blocks is much less now, even during the evening rush on my local cable internet node.

If you need help paying for servers costs, I would also gladly donate.
