Is my old laptop good for minecraft server hosting?

Idk, if it has 8gb of ram and a good-ish CPU it should be ok for a small server!

it should run good but could lag. i can run a mc server on raspberry pi 3 with 10people on tps hangs around 12 - 15but runs well so yeah

I used to run a server on like a potato laptop I used to have and honestly, it all really depends on how much you're loading up the server with addons and players. If there are a lot of addons and as you say, like 50 people, you definitely can't expect a stable server. But for like 20-30 people, it should be fine.

You can most definatly host it on that laptop with a good internet connection but you wouldnt be able to play and host the serevr at the same time without the server lagging

I think the percentage will not pull and will hang in people.

You need to have a good RAM in your PC like 16GB, and a good CPU. That's it

Well you can run a server but i don't suggest you open it basicly it can just mass your computer

You might be able to, not to sure. The best option would to buy a dedicated server because they're powerful.

This give you a some problems just buy a dedicated server and all will be fine

RAM is Okay, CPU nope, You can like run it for maybe 5-10 people, before it starts lagging in TPS, if they all go mine, discover etc (50 players) you need atleasta 3.8 ghz core.
