That is strange that everyone here so far is getting lag. However, my friends and I haven't met any lag from my dedicated server.

I host a dedicated server at home using the following specs for 8 players with no mods. We did an 8 player boss fight not long ago and it was fine.

Mini-PC with a 120mm USB fan attached to the underside for extra cooling.
- CPU: Intel Celeron J4125 2GHZ
- RAM: DDR4 8GB
- GPU: Built-in Intel UHD 600
- Storage: 120GB SSD for OS, and a 120GB SSD for the game.
- Internet: Telus 150MBits/s Fibre Optic Ul/Dl.

The only time it lagged was during the 5 seconds world saving instance. The other time that lagged, was when five players were logged into the server, while I was playing ESO. ^_^ So I promptly logged out of ESO, and a few minutes later, the players reported no further lag.

might be the fact that your using a dedicated server. And I'd bet your also using an IP address for the connect as well.

my friends and I had some very notiable lag issues like those described but those went away once one of us set up a dedicated system and stopped advertizing it on the clients server lists. We made the switch to direct IP connections when he noticed that there were litterlly hundereds of attempts per second to connect and guess the password. That added a lot of over head to the server. Once we started using the IP all the lag pretty much vanished. The game still stutters a little when the server does a world save.
