Hello! Anyone know of a server provider that can host 65,535

No legit person is going to host it for free.. The only people who would host a server for free, are bound to steal your scripts.

I intend to pay for it, also is it true the player cap is 65K?? other people were telling me its really only 4096.

The theoretical limit is indeed 65535, however in reality no server or ethernet connection can uphold that amount of concurrent users, so 4096 is really the max you can do with a very powerful server.

gotcha. maybe ill aim for 1000-2000, or open it up for 4000 and see how long befoere it starts to slow up. if i do something like add NPC armies for every player, like 50-100 bot gang do you think it'll slow it up a lot too

is MTA much more intensive than SAMP ? nto really that familiar with hosting either, i was just gonna buy a dedicated nongaming server online and set it up

MTA in itself is really not all that intensive, it only becomes very CPU intensive once you get a lot of players in a server.

And then again the performance of your server relies very much on your scripts.

If you scripts are made to do things in a very efficient way, the CPU load is going to be significantly less, I can say this with experience, as my own server performed a lot better after some SQL Query tweaking and some preload functions with an average of 300 players.
