There ' s tar on the inside basement stairs not ice . <| sep |> Hello there PAM . Hope they ' re treating you well ! <| sep |> These hosts you ' re using , are they commercial hosts or hosts in someone ' s home ? If they ' re in someone ' s home , what is the upload rate for their internet connection ? The reason I ask is because the logs you provided show no possible cause other than network issues . My theory is that the upstream rate for the hosts is insufficient for so many players when certain things happen on the server . This would explain why some people stay online when others are dropped . Most home internet connections have much lower upload rates than their download rates . For example , my download rate is about 10 Mbs , but my upstream rate is about 800 Kbs . I could never handle more than 2 outside clients on my system , which is why I don ' t host a server myself . Commercial internet hosts generally have matching up and download rates , so they can handle far more clients than a home connection could . The drawback to this is they have to pay more for their connections , so they charge for hosting services .
