so im looking for dedicated server which can run 20 bots smoothly, and the question is how does one pick a dedi that meets the persons needs, like how many cores? how many threads? ram? etc. is there any guide on this? thanks in advance

Depends on the script. Probably 6-8 cores and 32GB RAM minimum

 

32GB should be fine any of the newer E5 or E3 servers should work. Install proxmox install a windows VPS with all the things you need on it. Take a snapshot and close additional VPS's that you need for 20 bots and run 1-2 bots on each VPS or how have you. If you need any additional help I sent you over a pm feel free to ask anything you want I'm a guru in the field. 

8 cores, 16gb of ram.

I like to overestimate how much each client will use in RAM at about 1k/client. 

My script only uses 300-400 Ram per client but I made my script very efficient. I would say the average SDN script can range from 700-1k especially with loading webwalker. 

For 20 bots, you can probably go with 24GB ram but I would recommend 32GB Ram to be on the safe side unless you know what you're doing. 

thank you guys

@Juggles and how do you know which cpu can handle certain amount of bots

main goal is to have 100-200 bots running, 20 each dedi (if thats the most effective way to do it)

run the script to see how much ram is used. I made my own scripts very efficient to maximize my servers and reduce costs 

Used OS also depends (at least in my test). Running on AMD Thread Ripper 2950 + 128GB. On Windows Server 2016 Cpu usage per bot was around 4-5%, on Suse linux barely 1-2% CPU usage. Both plain CLI. RAM usage looks the same (500 - 1000MB), rarely bigger, only on unhandled null exceptions etc.
