Hey awesome guys.

so i have been asked to host and administrate a public Rust server, if you don't know what that is, its basically a survival game.My idea is to start an entire community around it. and i was looking if anyone can help me with that. so i'm not to foreign with server hosting but i want to do this properly. the idea is to have multiple servers on one machine. so VM is the obvious option. so a multiple VMs, each with respective resources allocates so little storage space and cores, for a teamspeak server, and then for the actual rust servers fair amount of storage, decent ram and decent core allocated, but the net work and OS is the difficult part. like is there an OS that is specifically for installing multiple VMs. and in each VM i run Ubuntu server, which i know how to host rust servers using linuxGMS and if there is an OS designed specifically for Just hosting mulitple VMs what is it called, iv not how do i host multiple servers on one instance like one Ubuntu server, or should i install windows server and install vm software there and then host in each VM within windows, and how would the networking work then. like whats the best way to achieve my goal

 Thanks for any help you guys give me <3

that was my plan from the start to be fair im just interested in how this would work, so theoretically lets say i had the hardware lying around and the connecting for server hosting, what would be my process and how would i do it? i agree with web hosting service defiantly .like how do most groups or companies host their servers. like im seriously interested.

A os that just runs vs is called a hypervisor.

 

There is lots of options, my top pick for this use is proxmox, and also lets you use containers aswell for lower overhead.

 

You can also use exsi, xen server(xcpng), hyper-v
