Dec 8, 2007I 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?
Any Gaming Hosts
Aug 30, 2007I 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.

Jan 30, 2009A 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).
Hardware For A Gaming Server
Dec 9, 2008I'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?
Which Xeon Server For Gaming
Mar 6, 2008What 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?
Dedicated For Gaming - Chicago
Jun 16, 2008I 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.

Dedicated Server, Windows Gaming
Jun 1, 2008I 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.
Upgrade Of Server For Popular Gaming Site
Jun 27, 2008I 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?

Reliable Europe/USEast Gaming Network
Oct 15, 2008I 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?
