Which OS is best for the server?

[AlexSwamp]

I have one vps (after i have one for sql, one for web and one for game server) and i would like to use the best OS for mta. Which OS is best for the server?

I am pretty sure that much doesn't change, but I am using Linux X64 if you mean that, because it's running my webserver and everything else. If you want, I can get you the name of it.

In the past i used linux (ubuntu and debian x64), but now i use windows server 2012. I would like to one vps which only running the mta sa server (i think the linux is better than windows for mysql server and web server).

Ubuntu is best for hosting game servers, uses very less RAM. Do not ever use Windows since Windows itself will use so much of your RAM. Performance is much better in Linux. For MySQL servers, if you are not much experienced, i suggest you to go for a web hosting, they will provide you MySQL, and so use same for web server.

I don't problem with linux, because i used linux in the past. I just would like to know linux or windows are better for the mta server (in the past i read in this forum the linux server has some problem with mta sa server). For website and mysql i will use only linux.

You always got the Linux camp and the Windows fans, but the fact remains that through the MTA client > server, players end up connecting directly to the host system through Winsock, something that Linux is only re-integrating/''porting'' this Windows functionality in order to provide connectivity.

So in terms of sync and networking stability for connected players, and network performance (not talking about the MTA server software load reduction/uptime longevity possible with Linux), Windows would be better.

I advise you to use Windows Server 2016, in my experience it's quite optimized for MTA server.

Thanks for help!
