i have aclinet who asked about games servers.
so if he needs to order aserver , and setup awar games on the server.
it will be for any veistos can go and play ? or some only or what ?
also how much this servers costs. and where he can get the games from ?
Personally I would never follow this route (hosting gameserver(s) on a VPS), but maybe some people on these forums do and I'm quite interested in what these people run (game+slots), on what hardware/OS, at which host and their opinion about the performance of it.

Our company was thinking about selling some game servers for a monthly lease.
Just wanted to know are these any good to make money from? or are they at all worth getting into?
Just some general information or tips would be great!
I was going to get a TS server , and i found a very interesting company gameservers.com
My users range is from Europe and North Africa , so i was going to choose the one of the three locations avaiable in Euro
Which one of them are better , and as an overall , Is Gameservers worth what i will pay for it.
Alright, I have been running game servers for about 8 months now, but I am having some issues with a new box I just ordered in Ny. I only have 1 server on it, which is a CS 1.6 server and it is getting HORRIBLE FPS. Now usually when I put a new server on a box it always gets constant fps, so if I set it to 500 it will pretty much stay at 500, this has been the case on 10+ boxes I have. This one is getting from about 100-300 with a few spikes to 500. Now as far as running the game server, I know what I am doing, however this must me an issue with the server.
It is a Dual Opteron 252 with 2gb's of ram.(Plenty to run a high fps server)
The only thing I can think of is maybe the timer set in the linux kernel is too low. If so how would I change this (Never done it before)
Anyone else have similar problems? Any ideas what could be the problem?
i got my box and im thinking of opening a Gsp but for the moment i just wanna learn everythign before opening it. its been already 1 month and a half i have it. i know how to run game servers and stuff but i still dont know how to like make a server 1000fps boosted ( i know how but it seems like its making serevr speed Faster) or Setup ftp access only to this server and such! I need Some1 that is already in this Kind of bussness to help me. If you have Ventrilo it would be perfect because its easier for me to talk then typing everytime. Thnx alot guys. just contact me from pms in here.

As you can read i dont know where to start
I'm in the market to purchase a handful of dedicated servers here in the next few months. I'm looking for the most "bang for the buck". And preferably don't want to pay more than $700 - $800/server/month. I stumbled onto 10tb, I've been doing a little bit of research, and so far have not found any negative reviews other then people trying to user their vps servers from outside the US and expecting 1Gbps speeds.
Anyway, I digress, their price tags are definitely in my price range. About $638 for an 8core server 2.26Ghz 12GB ram 2x250hdd, 100mbps unmetered. Best deal I've seen yet.
So far I like what I see with 10TB but i want to verify that I can expect to get the results I need. I've talked to support and they say it is dedicated bandwidth which means I can burst into 100mbps for long periods of time. I care about this more than anything. Most of these servers are going to need that connection, and I expect to max it out quite often. We plan on launching several game servers so bandwidth is definitely a necessity.
I will also be hosting our web-servers as well and will be looking to deploy load balancing when the time comes. So I would also like the ability have these servers in a private vlan.
Are there any 10TB customers out there using their 100Mbps unmetered plans with heavy loads? I know soft-layer has an amazing network. I just want to make sure this is dedicated bandwidth and I can loadup the port for days if needed. Without experiencing problems, server being shutdown, or extra fees coming into play.
I can probably expect to be at a normal load of about 60% or more bandwidth usage per server.
10TB really stands out to me because its on soft-layers network, and they have 3 different locations I can locate these servers. Which since we'll be deploying game servers is great to ensure low pings to all our clients.
I am open to looking at other hosts as long as they can provide me with the above requirements. I'm very interested in what 10TB costumers have to say.
lately I have though about getting a game server.. but the question I found myself stuck with is:
Should I get my own dedicated server or get rentals off of other people.
I'm planning host multiple game servers on a single machine. I'm going to configure my own machine for this purpose. I'm uncertain on how powerful should I build my machine.
I'm going to host resource demanding games like Battlefield 2 and Armed Assault. Both of the mentioned games has a dedicated server application that requires roughly 2ghz of CPU power and 1GB to 2GB of RAM (depending on connected users) to run on.
Base on the above requirements, I'm going to put together a machine with 2 dual core Opteron or Xeon running at 2ghz and 8GB of RAM. The machine is going run 4 virtual servers with the game server application running on them. My configuration uses basic division to calculated the required CPU and RAM on my custom configured machine. Is this a practical approach?
Has anyone tried anything similar with xen? I'm worry about any performance impact that might happen due to overhead or shared cpu & ram cycle latency as game server demands real time performance.
I'm though about doing this because it's cheaper to rent a 1U rack space running 4 game servers than renting 4Us for the same purpose. Care to share experience or thoughts on this subject?
This question, and many questions relating to this I am sure must have reasoning behind it. It basicly relates down to the following;
Why do game servers use up more CPU on Linux, opposed to Windows?
Some people say it doesnt, and that is true for some games, but most games I have found, the CPU usage of the game on a Linux based server is far higher.
Just as an example, most Steam games.
I really would like to know why, and how it could be reduced. What are some things I can install, or configure to make game servers run more smoothly or use less CPU on Linux?
If anyone has any ideas & thoughts related to this, please let me/us know, for im sure this is beneficial to all.
Just to add in, I use CentOS 4.6 Final.
I have a friend/client who needs TWO Dedicated Game Servers and he wants them from me.
I have never sold a Game Servers and told him so, yet he insists that he want's to buy them from me.
Well, anyone knows where I can buy All Managed Game Servers and Resell them to him?
I am a noob and absolutely no idea how game servers function.
I just got a new box, and I installed a game server on it ( Take in mind it is windows ) and when you type status in console it says STEAMID PENDING on all users.
I have restarted the game servers, and that didnt work. I rebooted the box, but that worked. When i went in game and typed status it said the SteamID's of the user, but when i restarted the game server it went back to "SteamID PENDING".
Can any one help me out why it is doing this?

I have 2 dedicated servers and one VPS with liquidweb. Lately I am facing quite an issue with support and I think I am posting 2nd time about liquidweb support.
Its all about my VPS, which use to hold 45 clients consumming around 50 % disk space and around 30 % bandwidth.
On 3rd of April VPS started to shoot emails about services failure and continuously went for 2 days. Then on finally 5th April, it went down. So I reported this to liquidweb support by creating a ticket(I created the ticket by shooting an email to support@liquidweb.com not by logging into PIMS). I got an reply in around 1 hr 20 mins that server is up. So i checked it and yes it was up, but with lots of issues. Still were getting service failure emails as they are failing and above all my root password stopped working. So couldn't login into WHM that time.
I reported this back on 6th April. No reply on 6th of April. On 7th april, I sent a reminder about the issue. They repiled by asking for my last 4 digits of credit card for verification purpose (Designatation of that person was written Web Designer) . Now when I ordered this using paypal, there is no question of last 4 digits of credit card. So I politely replied them back within 4 hours that I have used paypal for ordering the VPS.
They didn't reply back on 7th, not on 8th. Finally on 9th, when I lost few customers because I can't login into WHM, I wrote a bit stringly worded post in that support ticket.
To quote myself.....
"OPPS!!!....This has been a tremendous lack of response from you guys. It seems
that you don't have support guys anymore. I have lost few customers
because I can't login into my WHM. And it seems that you have changed my
root password and now not letting me know about this.
Suddenly one web designer is replying my ticket.
Whats is happening there?
Let me know my root password immediately.
Thanks
Krish"
Now after posting this reply, I decided to call them. So within 30 mins of this post I called them. Jason, a system admin replied and we talked politely about the issue. He accepted over phone that it was big mess.
Why big mess?????...because when he restored my old password and I logged into WHM....I don't see any account left . All data lost...everything gone as it appeared there is nothing left.
So he took up the issue of restoring account. He claimed that server was rooted. Now how come after so many days and communications they discovered my server was rooted?
Then he started restoring accounts....all accounts came back but with a loss of around whopping 80% loss of data. Most of customers started complaining about loss of emails and data. On 10th again I reported them about such loss and mysql which was not working. They fixed the mysql issue, but no database was left.
Then I got busy on 11th, could not follow it up as I should have been doing. But still as I was waiting replies from my customer about how much is the loss (I was telling them that we should be able to get them back from backup).
So I reported back to support on 11th as follows...I quote myself...
"I am waiting for reply from them. I noticed one thing. That the content is not
restored properly...as there are only 13% of space used right..which should be
around 50%."
On 12th I got following reply...I quote...

I´m thinking about setting up a load balanced setup. I´ll start with load-balancing MySQL, and after, I´ll go with the webservers. MySQL is currently more important.
I have two different bandwidth providers, with two different networks, in the same datacenter. Pings between both are under 1ms.
I was think about buying 4 servers, two for a MySQL Cluster (NDB), and two for a UltraMonkey Load Balancer setup. The MySQL Cluster API would be installed in another server, currently in use.
So, what else would I need? My intention is to have two servers in one provider, and two servers in another provider. Would this kind of setup require large quantities of bandwidth? Both providers wouldn´t let me pass a diferent cable for this purpose, so I would have to use the uplink.
Also, for webservers, I would only need two more servers, right? Maybe rsync them, and have sessions stored in database would be the best choice?
Thank You
I would like to setup a load balancing pair of servers. Currently, I have about 7 servers, all of them working stand alone. I would like to use two of them to host some "power-hungry" websites, that require high availiability. What kind of hardware will I need to do it? I´ve already searched for some, and found load-balancers from F5 which seem to be very good, however they seem to be very expensive (9000 dolars maybe?). Is there any solution which might end cheaper? Will I need anything else?
View 14 Replies View RelatedI need 2 dedicated DNS servers.
I'd like one server on the east coast and one on the west or close to it.
They will be used for primary ans secondary dns only.
Simply running Bind and webmin.
I need cheap servers since they are pushing dns data around.
Not very bandwidth intensive or cpu resource intensive.
The most important thing is that the backbone redundancy is amazing.
You can get a good server at a lot of place these day, but who has the staff and backbone to make sure these servers are not bottlenecked and up and running.
If I wanted to install OpenVPN to create a personal VPN (low bandwith/CPU) what kind of minimum specs should I be looking into?
I contacted Panix.com to enquiry about their $10/month shell account I asked them about getting OpenVPN installed and they replied something like they do not allow it in the shell because it needs a server with a higher spec, which is odd to me.
I'm running a CPanel server and wondering which of these users are safe to remove and whats the best way to do that?

When a registered memory is needed ?
I read that if you using more than 4GB you HAVE to use it, because it causes a huge overload into motherboard because it suck so much energy.
But is real life is this really true ? Is it really needed ?
What would the average person looking for a VPS look for? I know each customer is different but I am talking just the most common. I am looking for specs to look for if I do a review site. That way I will review the type of VPS's most people are looking for.

as some of you probabley heard about the fire at the planet and they offered to move my server to another facility but they have to change the server ip address which i agreed to it
the server is back online but i'm unable to acces any websites
i asked them to point all domains to the new ip address but they are really busy and i assume it would take a day or 2
when i login to ensim and list all sites i still see the old ip address listed under each domain, do i need to change that if so how?
will everything work once the they modify dns records?
I've searched quite a bit for myself now, but I have yet to find a place that offers what I need. Most of the servers seem way too overpowered for my needs, but the lower-end server offerings I've found don't have the necessary space and/or bw.
What I'm looking for is something along these lines:
I basically only need to run Apache/Lighthttpd, PHP and MySQL, along with a custom program that would only use 1-2% cpu at its peak and not more than 1mb memory. The web server part would probably not serve more than 10-20 simultaneous visits at its peak.
CPU and memory requirements are therefore very small for me. However, I need 10gb space at the very least, along with ~200gb bw.
I would preferably like the server to be located in Europe, or have very good connectivity to Europe, as I need as low pings as possible.
Unmanaged and no control panel needed.
I'd like to go with 1and1, using ASP.net and MS SQL Server, and the ability to setup lots of databases, websites and URLs, but I'm not keen on maintaining the server, updates, backups etc.
I'd also like to access the web space and upload files, from any computer.
