Hey! I hope this is the right place to ask this, but I have some questions about running a server.

Me and about 10 freinds wanted to play, so I rented a server from Bisecthosting with 2.5 gigs of ram and (the server is in montreal canada, I am in the mid uUS) it kept crashing repeatedly, so I upgraded to 4gb of ram and it ran fine with about 4 people on but with 9 people it started crashing again, I upgraded to their highest package which is 8gb of ram and it stopped crashing but there is still lots of problems with mining blocks and having them reapear.

So, my question, does it just need more ram? or would it be better going with a server with 4gb of ram but fater processor, ssd and closer servers? Or any suggestions as to If there is anything I can do to get a good server under 20$
