I got such good advice on here when I built my PC I came back to ask a question about servers. My knowledge is fairly limited so first I'll explain what I'm trying to do and then ask a couple questions.
I like to record games I play and upload them to Youtube. I wanted to record a group of 8 people total playing the indie game Terraria. When I host a game there is a little bit of lag how the enemies will approach from the front and then sometimes will disappear and reappear hitting us from behind. It's not game breaking, but it bugs me because I'd like the recording to go smooth.
I only need to host this for about a month. So renting a dedicated server seems to be a good choice, since the problem I think is my internet connection speed. Basically my questions are, do I even need to rent a server, or could I run it on my computer, and if not and I should rent a server what quality would I need. I don't wanna go over $150, to me that sounds like far too much for a month.
Speedtest.com clocks my download speed at 25.0Mbps, but more importantly my upload speed is at 3.2Mbps. My PC specs are an Intel core i-7-3770k CPU @ 3.50GHz (8 cpus), 16Gb, and 2 NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670's in sli of ram You guys helped me out a bunch once, I hope you guys can again
