### VPS Hardware Specs
|
|
|
|
You will need to rent a VPS to run your node on. One key reason for this is that your node **must be able to send TCP data using both IPv4 and IPv6** (as other nodes you talk to may use either protocol). Therefore you will need a server with static IPv4 and IPv6!
|
|
|
|
Tor community created a very helpful table called [*Good Bad ISPs*](https://community.torproject.org/relay/community-resources/good-bad-isps/), you can use that one as a guideline for your choice of ISP for your VPS.
|
|
|
|
**Update:** Nym community initiated an ISP table called [*Where to host your nym node?*](https://nym.com/docs/operators/community-counsel/isp-list), check it out and add your findings!

#### `nym-node` - dedicated server
|
|
If you are about to start a new Nym Node, look for a server with this specification:
|
|
|
|
| **Hardware** | **Minimum Specification** |
|
|
| :--- | ---: |
|
|
| Type of server | Dedicated or bare metal |
|
|
| CPU Cores | 4 |
|
|
| Memory | 8-16 GB RAM |
|
|
| Storage | 50 GB (preferably 80 GB) |
|
|
| Connectivity | IPv4, IPv6, TCP/IP, UDP |
|
|
| Bandwidth | Unmetered if possible, or \> 40Tb |
|
|
| Port speed | 1Gbps |

#### Nyx validator
|
|
|
|
The specification mentioned below is for running a full node alongside the nym-api. It is recommended to run `nym-api` and a full Nyx node on the same machine for optimum performance.

|
Bear in mind that credential signing is primarily CPU-bound, so choose the fastest CPU available to you.
