gaming server specs

Never hosted game servers but you probably need to figure out your spec needs first, ez way to to this could be to try and get the server running on local vms first to at least see how much ram you would need

Check reviews on the company. Some of them offering really cheap deals are actually overselling and you end up with a sub par experience. Look up the deals with lowendbox.com. I am with ssdnodes and they are solid.

Mate VPS means Virtual Private Server

As in they take a box then run a dozen different tasks off it, partitioning it so everyone gets X resources.

By one processor that means you get a single core of that E7-4870

amount of cores is usully specified in price package

Bad hosts will say processors not cores.

oh well
anyways for op's use case wouldn't memory be more of a bottleneck ?

Depends on the game, all the ones in OP should run fine. 2.4ghz Westmere cores. But if he decides to run something newer he's gonna have a fuckin problem.

Ironically, Mineman would qualify as newer here. That game is so ridiculously single threaded and SSD 4K random IO dependant it's not even funny.

Just buy a server and run it from home. You'll get more out of it and it will be cheaper in the long run. I use to host a shitty halo ce server and game on the same rig. It was a p4 with maybe 512mb ram

First of all ping their servers, VPS providers usually provide you with a general IP and a script to test your lag against their servers, anything over 600ms its bad, for games servers you want 200ms max at peak times.
