Currently running a game called ultima online, its a very old game and doesnt require much to run. the server generally only has around 30-40 players on it at any one time. id imagine it would use the same data as any other game server around that price.
problem being, the current owner of the server decided to jack in as he was paying £140 a month for it, to which he wasnt getting enough donations to cover the cost of the server. Im trying to source a new server, that would cost at a max £60 and would run this game lag free?

now i dont know much abouit servers, but ive found one here, uk based that offer great support, that i modified to 2 core, 4gb ram and 100gb hard drive space with microsoft os and 100 mbit for quick connection to the Internet for £40 a month.

im trying to find specs and whatforth for what this server will need, but do you think at a quick look that it will be sufficient? or could get a better setup for the same price or just abit more?
 
just asked on a sphere irc what req i would need, quoting that same setup as above

13:01] <XuN_> i had a 100 players server with lots of custom scripts and 20m save in a p3 700mhz with 2gb (or 1? cant remember) with 100mb connection
[13:01] <XuN_> so you wont have problems
[13:01] <Soulless> yeah, i had 250 on a similar rig, you will be totally fine
