### 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 started an ISP table called [*Where to host your nym node?*](../../community-counsel/isp-list.mdx), check it out and add your findings!

#### `nym-node`
|
|
Before we conclude the testing with exact results, these are the rough specs:
|
|
|
|
| **Hardware** | **Minimum Specification** |
|
|
| :--- | ---: |
|
|
| CPU Cores | 4 |
|
|
| Memory | 8 GB RAM |
|
|
| Storage | 80 GB |
|
|
| Connectivity | IPv4, IPv6, TCP/IP, UDP |
|
|
| Bandwidth | > 1Tb |

|
#### 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.
