The dedi will already have more than twice the amount of RAM needed to host the server, and the RAM isn't what the problem was on the VPS.
But what's the point of having two?
r.i.p.
why did you buy a vds which if double bigger then needed? you could of bought one with just the stuff you need for so much cheaper?
:S
It isn't a vps it's a dedicated server. A second server would only be for testing the server's ability to run two servers simultaneously. When you have the stats why waste the opportunity?
Trying to find a server with the exact specifications we need, whilst trying to avoid £50 setup charges is damn difficult, and having a server with double the specs we currently need will allow us more headroom for the time being, allowing us to do more (such as having a live Google Map with player locations etc), it will also give us more expansion room for the future. Even if it is more than we need, the deal was a good one.
I'm not sure on the secondary server either, I don't think it will see much use and as other people have said, we may aswell give up the resources to the current Minecraft server. It wouldn't have been so much cheaper anyway, I spent a long time looking for decent hosts for Minecraft before buying the new server (and actually, before when I used to host a private, invite-only one).
Tomato, we're not buying another virtual server, the new one is a fully fledged, physical server sitting in a rack in a datacenter, which we have TOTAL software control over and won't be shared with other users.
