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.
tell me the name of 2, 3 dedicated server provider with best reseller programs ...
I want to resell servers ...
I had shortlisted a few, although there may be more choices..
SoftLayer have lesser discount, but they have an excellent DC, hardware & more~
Gigenet have up to 30% discount and 15% at least, which is a plus, but I'm not sure about other stuffs, although they are also pretty reputable around..
LimeStoneNetworks have very little discount, and their servers are cheap, but their specs are pretty much *fixed*, and they do not seem to offer as much as the above..
HandyNetworks have cheap servers too, but they are not as competitive with the above 3, in the sense that they are not much interested to join the competition, remaining on their own track completely..
HiVelocity - No information, although their requirement is pretty simple..
Take2Hosting, although they have really cheap servers, their datacenter isn't as advanced as the others, and... Cogent... IMO more suitable for personal use, small sites etc.
IMO I will prefer SoftLayer, but their servers are quite expensive, so even if I get 4 dummy servers, which cost $119(their cheapest server) and multiple by 4 is $476, and get a server used to sell hosting, it will not be cheap.. However, on the other end, Gigenet has cheaper servers(especially their specials, really better than SL), although their entry server is $154, which I suppose everything will balance out, I just can't think of anything they can be better than SL, in terms of network, support, server administration(I heard and tried SoftLayer's portal to manage the server, it was excellent!) etc.
I will actually love to resell Gigenet servers, since it is a lot cheaper(in terms of discount), and their prices are roughly the same(except SL RAM is more expensive)..
Is there any way to resell dedicated servers ?

Something like adding personal name servers to a reseller?
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
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?
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 ?
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've always had hosting where everything is pretty much already setup. I am now considering getting my own dedicated server. I see most good packages are Self Managed Servers.
I'm not a system admin and never had any experience managing and setting up my own server. Is this a lot of work? Is this something that is also pretty easily learned or does this really take a lot of knowledge?
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 own a pretty high traffic soccer blog. Nothing out of the ordinary!
It generates an average of 8k unique visitors/day - but can reach 30+ unique/day.
According to the guy who is currently hosting it - it does around 30-50gb bandwidth per day.
I'm not sure if I even need a Dedicated server for this. However, the old host said that the HUGE peaks of traffic in the middle of the day are causing him problems.
I'm not very technical - just the writer of the blog - do a couple of other web developments aswell, but I've never really needed a dedicated server before!
Thus, I need this fully managed - and want it to basically work as a reseller hosting account (if thats possible).
I need this quickly as the website is going to be deleted by the end of THIS month! He just told me today . He was taking the revenue from the site in exchange for the hosting. I'd now like to just cough up and pay for it!
If anyone can give me any advise, do I need a dedicated server? Would a VPS do? What prices am I looking at? Are there any companies which suit my needs?
Im having some trouble with my current host and feel im also being charged a bit too much.
Is there any hosts (other than Hostgator) that offer managed servers with Cpanel? I realy need a better host as im going mad with my current one.
Who has them and who's good at it?
I have a client asking about a managed Windows server.
I would like to hear about sites providing fully managed servers.
View 14 Replies View RelatedI have 2 managed dedicated server with one of the big company in US. we have been with them for years, and the backup plan we purchase is using Veritas.
For years the backup space usage counted from the max/highest backup space taken each day in 1 month.
but suddenly in the last few months the billing department start to sum all days backup for 1 month that make us exceed our backup usage crazily.
how the backup plan counted on your managed dedicated server.
how the hosting provider would back me up in setting up my vps, support in additional issues etc. with regards each of the above topics.

A friend of mine is trying to find a place that will let him resell other reseller accounts. The accounts would need WHM access. I can't find anything for him, and he won't host with me because I don't offer that.
