If you have your server running on a box that is not also running a minecraft client, then your box will be just as good as mine. if your are running it all on one box, there will be more stability to move it to a dedicated server. I can import your world into the server if you want, so there is that option. it doesnt realy matter though.. Ill set this server up and move my personal server over to it. Any of you are welcome on my personal server i just have to warn you that there are 3 kids on the server under the age of 15. so occasionally they go raiding other peoples stuff, but we use them as fodder for our new trap designs.

(good stuff here)
