Yes. I tested the new VPS with 4 players on my Arms Race server, and average CPU usage for that process was 2.1%. I think, for the average server, you can hold about 45-50 players before any lag starts.
And the ping just decreased by more than 60%, after the new U.S. location.
I estimate that the new CPU has about twice as much power per-core, and 8 times as much CPU power, in total, over all 4 cores.
On the other hand,
Let's please not make this topic a drama topic. This is supposed to be about HamHost, not some Ephialtes/Pacnet/Hammereditor/nerraD/Kalphiter argument.

The problem is, the server contains ~50k bricks. How much ping do you think it could get? (estimation please)

Does it have to be typed in or can it be pasted also when i use the command it goes into red letters for being to long i dont think eval is supposed to do that

All Blockland servers will have the same ping, no matter how many players or bricks are on them. That's how the internet works.
From my location in New Jersey, I average about 75 ms. It does not scale linearly, though. For example, if you live in California, you'll probably get about 115 ms.
I think you could hold about 35 players with that many bricks, if it was a DM/TDM. If it was something less CPU-intensive, like a city RPG or a freebuild, I'd expect 53 players.
I really don't think your friend will have to worry. Premium servers also get a higher CPU priority than free servers.

Yes, it goes into red letters if the command is too long. There is only a syntax error if the whole line of text goes red.

Ok thanks! I'm very happy that you gave such a straight-forward reply within a jiffy! The server would be hosted in Montana or Minnesota (that's where my friend lives). I forgot which state.
