Dedicated Server, Windows Gaming
Jun 1, 2008
I own a hosting company Perix Host. We are looking into moving into gaming server hosting.
To do this i need a dedicated server with Windows because the main gaming server we want to run (LFS) only works with Windows if you want your customer to be able to upload there custom wrote plugins. So my issue is i need a dedicated server. What do i get.
How much bandwidth would i need to host around 20 servers all running with 15 people on them. Im not sure of how much bandwidth the game uses but i could find it if anyone needs it.

I am currently hosted in Chicago but I am hurting real bad where I am presently at and need to switch pretty quick. This is what I have right now:
coreduo 6600
2G ram
Debian
1200G premium network
Lakeside
$159
Who and where is everyone in Chicago? And it would appear that right now I DO NOT want Savvis. If the folks at where I am hosted at would have switched me to their standard network all would have been golden, but no dice.

I'm considering whether or not it's cheaper to set up my own dedicated and run it as a dedicated game server, or to simply rent slots from a game server company.
On the assumption that each "game server" is 16 slots and that the game uses an "Average" amount of ram and CPU power (average in terms of games);
How many could I run at the same time?
How much bandwidth would be consumed?
Also, what sort of server would I need? 8GB ram w/ Quad core intel processor? I'm looking for a dedicated that can run as a gameserver, in the UK. Preferably blue square in london, or similar.
Does 100 seem like a fair price to be looking at per month?

What is better for gaming? I plan on hosting quite a few Call of Duty 4 servers.
Dual Xeon Woodcrest 5130
4GB Memory RAM
250GB 8MB SATA2 Hard Drive
or
Dual Xeon Clovertown E5335
2GB Memory RAM
80GB 8MB SATA2 Hard Drive
Operating System: Centos
Are the Xeon 3220's able to run Dual?
Are these even good for gaming? Do you have any suggestions besides these two?

Would a vps make a good gaming server?
I was thinking about marketing this type of service. I have no experience in implementing a gameing server so not sure about the requirements
Servers are hosted with rapidswitch in London with 1000mbps connectivity and low latency
Hosts are running vmware vsphere.

I currently have
AMD X2 3400
1 GB DDR RAM
3TB Bandwidthwidth
Right now at around 150,000 to maybe over 200,000 pageviews a day thanks to an influx of Korean traffic, the number of Apache connections is making my swf files extremely slow.
I may have to upgrade the 3TB bandwidth too at some point along the line.
Its the raw number of Apache connections that is the problem, my host says. The SQL isn't causing any issues.
What do you guys suggest?
How much with a Opteron server with 2GB RAM help me right now?

I have Plesk 11.5 (service provider mode) on a Windows 2008 server IIS7.Most of my sites are developed in .asp and therefore i use a custom 500-100.asp error page that check s the IP of the visitor then displays either a friendly error, or if its my IP a full error of what has happened (it also emails me the error). This allows me to debug pages easily whilst developing and to keep an eye on anyone trying SQL Injection hacks on my sites (as the error and email also have session variables and IP address).I dont have root access to the server as it is a Webfusion dedicated server.I have following the Plesk documentation -
1) Switch on custom errors for the subscription
2) Look in virtual directories and navigate to error documents
3) Find the error in question (500:100) and change it to point at either a file or URL
FILE - I had the data centre add in the 500-100.asp error page in to the virtual template so that my page is available in the list of virtual files - this didn't work but that maybe because its not a static page??
URL - when i add the path it says its incorrect, if i add a fully qualified address, it accepts it but it doesn't work.give me a specific example of the URL that can be entered relative to the root as the format in the documentation isn't accepted. The last step is to restart IIS which is also an issue as i cant seem to do this from the Plesk panel..It is as if it isn't catching the 500:100 error, and only catching the general 500 error??

I've been asked to source a good Windows Server.
Must be able to source Graphon's Go-Global software (Graphon dot com/content/view/9/9/ )
Should be UK based if possible and allow us access to install the software.

A firewall will run me another $100. Is it worth it? Do any of you run a Windows server w/o a firewall.

We've always used open source linux servers up until now. For a variety of reasons we're contemplating adding one windows box.
Is there much practical difference for the average small business between 2003 and 2008?
What's the difference between "authenticated" and "unauthenticated" windows servers?
How is most administration and regular tasks done? I'm used to sshing into my linux servers-- I'm assuming for windows this is gui based? What's the standard software used for this?

Can I run both Windows & Linux on a dedicated server? I currently have a website hosted on a shared hosting Linux web server (uses PHP, MySQL). I want to use RED5, which seems a bit tricky to set up.
Why Windows?
I would feel more comfortable installing RED5 on a windows server (I think it'd be easier for me, no experience with Linux command line etc.).
Why Linux?
I'd prefer to keep the existing PHP/MySQL website on Linux because I have Apache specific settings.

I am using linux dedicated servers, but I want to move over to Windows for some stuff I run...
Anyway, I need ideally 1000-1500gb bandwidth on 10mbs connection, ram&cpu is not important as they're very simple things but requires a lot of bandwidth. Location in Europe or USA, but whatever is cheaper...
Budget is anything upto £60/$120 a month.

I am a good systems administrator but I have never setup a windows web server. Are there any tutorials out on the web that would show me how to do it. Is it true when a dedicated server is purchased the only thing I have to do is transfer the htm or asp files?

Is it actually possible to find Windows dedicated server with unlimited traffic (1Gb Pipe)and reliable 24/7 technical support? Cause I have searched and found out that if the traffic is unlimited the pipe is too small, and if the pipe is big enough traffic is limited and additional one costs a fortune.

I'm starting a multi-gaming organization and I'm hoping to run 3-4 servers at 1000FPS. The server i purchased is a Core2Quad 2.4, 4GB Ram, 500GB HD, 100MBIT windows 2008
I also purchased a TCAdmin license and have that setup and running. I know about the windows media player trick that makes it run at 500FPS and ive been doing that. Well i would like to get it to 1000FPS but ive been unsuccessful. Ive tried some reading about HPET but i havnt seen where i can change or enable that. what i can do to make them run at 1000FPS.
Dont know if this helps but the servers im hosting are CS 1.6, CSS and TF2.

I usually host just PHP but a new client needs to use ASP and SQL Server. So I urgently need to find a UK based reliable Windows Managed Dedicated Server for around £100 to £150 per month.
The site only gets 1000 visits per week and runs a multi community from a 500MB SQL Server database.
I'm scared to go with a cheap host like 1&1 or Fasthosts but also think Rackspace may be way too expensive.
Is a dedicated server overkill for such a site?
Anyone know of a solid relaible host that can offer this with great 24/7 skilled support and daily backups.
I need to have a solution for client by Tuesday or they may go elsewhere.

I need to change the IP to a server dedicated Windows with Parallels Plesk installed and 200 domain's hosting.
Do I have to change the IP in the dns zone one at a time? I think it's possible to do it by reconfigurator (remote desktop).

Plesk 11.0.9 Update #62
Note: Recently migrated from Plesk 9.2
Trying to set Default Site for a Dedicated IP Address.
I go to Subscription, then to domain > Change Hosting Settings, select dedicated IP address and OK, works fine. Site goes to Default Plesk Page.
Go to Tools & Settings, IP Addresses > Select the dedicated IP address I set above. Change Default Site to site above. Click Ok.
I get the error message above and nothing changes.
I looked on my IIS Server and MailEnable's Webmail is installed under the Default Website.
I have another Dedicated IP on this server and it has a default site on it working properly, but it was set up on the old site and it was configured as part of the Migration using Migration Manager.
I tried deleting the IP address and adding it back in. That didn't change anything. I also tried running: "%plesk_bin%websrvmng.exe" –reconfigure-webmail since that came up under someone else's issue when searching the web and that .exe is what's throwing the error.

I d like to colocate a 1 U server to use it to host a VBulletin forum+ VBSEO (2 thousand users)and 40 users påaying games.
Planning to place in the future a free image hosting web site ( users would be able to upload files freely via FTP)
Players are from Buenos Aires.. is this going to affect performance in gaming if the server is place in FDC for instance?
Is there any company that buys and assembles the hardware I choose, take it to the colo place and configs/mangages the server in a full way without having to donate a kidney?

I currently have a few racks in a colo but lately I have been thinking i would like to start game hosting.
I do not understand how they gaming servers are sold to clients because i see that they sell by bandwidth not by speed.
i have 10mbps burstable to 100mbps
I see gaming hosts selling packages with 1500GB Traffic/M.
What i dont understand is what speed are these lines usually at and are they capped?
Secondly what is the breakdown of bandwidth from a 10mbps pipe (ie how much transfer do
I get on 10mbps busrtable to 100mbps) my colo package is unlimited bandwidth but there must be a max bandwidth formula to calculate 10mbps running at 95% = XXXbandwidth usage.

A few days back i had made a post asking about which would the best host for a dating website that me and a couple of friends were planning to start. Thanks alot to everyone for the answers.
However now we have decided to go with a gaming website, as the idea appeals to most of us.
The concept is to have a real time online game running on the server 24X7, people can join any time they want and leave any time they want, the game would still keep progressing. My main concerns with such a site are:
1. Bandwidth : As people will be online for a long time playing the game I am guessing we will need good amount of bandwidth
2. Server CPU : Will we end up eating lot of server CPU as the game engine will be running 24X7 on the server? What kind of implications does this have? I dont see any CPU specific details in the hosting plans i have seen so far.
Please advise on the above two. What kind of hosting should I be looking for? Hosting budget is 30$/month (max).

I have been through various servers but i cannot find something that works for me. I have very little bandwidth, disk space, server spec demands. All i need is a low-medium ping rate and excellent network reliabiilty. I have tried various low pings, but thats all useless when it drops a bunch of packets and disconnects the players every hour or two.
The audience is US East and Europe connecting together. Anyone have any suggestions for what a good option might be?
