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 know they are a great company, but how is their network for gaming purposes?

i have a budget of £400 - £500 pounds can anyone suggest a pre-made server box to me? or give me some specs thanks.. i aint making my own server btw
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?
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 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?

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.
Does anyone know any good colocations that are good for gaming? I've been searching for some but couldn't find any. I'm interested in places like San Jose, San Francisco, or Fremont.

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 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've recently ordered two new servers with Windows OS, and am wondering how I go about making sure the hard drives I ordered are the ones actually installed, and the RAM i ordered is the ram actually installed.
I know the amount of ram and amount of diskspace is correct by Properties and My Computer but not sure how to figure out the others.
i heard from a friend that i can make my computer a server, is this true? how can this happen & is it safe, cheap?

I host my DNS with DNSmadeeasy.com , I noticed that I have daily more than 350.000 DNS requests for main domain, This domains got about 80.000 uniqes/day, so this is strange how can there be 350.000 DNS requests/day. Seems that I'll go over the quota because of this.
The TTL for all domains is set to 86400.
Is there a way to discover how its possible ? And also is there a way to do something to make this number lower (DNS requests)
I have example.com as a reseller account hosted on a shared server. I have ns1.example.com and ns2.example.com on that server and client domains use these nameservers.
I want to move to a VPS for more control and so I have acquired vps.example.com. This also has vps_ns1.example.com and vps_ns2.example.com with it.
Can I move everything to the VPS? Assuming that I move the files over, if I simply changed the DNS of example.com to point to nameservers vps_ns1(and 2).example.com, what would happen?
Have I made it over complicated for me to understand, and it's actually a lot easier than I think? Or have I shot myself in the foot by using vps.example.com as the name for the VPS?
I am using cPanel/WHM for both servers.
we've been running our software on apache 1.3 for years with no problems. We have a new server running apache2 and now none of our mod_rewrite works. Is there something extra that needs to be done with apache 2 to get mod_rewrite working? The module is definitely loaded (first thing I checked). If we turn on allowOverride from None to All in the httpd.conf we get completely blank pages. Our regular php pages work fine with allowoverride set to none, but they all break when it is set to all. Please help. This is the second time we have run into this on apache 2 servers.
View 2 Replies View RelatedI have had 2 drives fail on me in 2 weeks, and had to completely redo my server's configuration and security.
I would like to tell my tech to make an image of the current server, just so that the firewall and settings are all saved, and can be restored if this happpens again.
How should I go about doing this, and what can I tell my tech to do so that he does this in the best, most efficient way?
I have 2 live websites on there now (not an insane amountt of traffic), so I am assuming the sites current state will be in the image, which I don't mind, as I can just restore a recent site backup if the site happens to go down again.
Please let me know your thoughts!
( i am assuming i should try to delete as much junk off of the server as possible to make the image smaller)
i set a new server with some setting,
i want to test if it can handle how many connection or burst bandwidth,
i want to use other server(s) to test with it,
can i use any way to do this work?
My server load on my server is very high, but my server is not slow, my memory usage is fine, my CPUs are handling everything fine so it's not really a problem... except I've got a lot of "sleeping processes" which seem to increase the server load but not affect the server really.
My problem is, cpbackup refuses to run when it decides the server load is too high. So, is there a way to make it run no matter what the server load is? Because I do want backups to run again...
The server load never goes down because these things are always running, so running it at early hours of the morning doesn't make a difference.
Anybody done this like one or two email server running especially Exim and all other cPanel servers are using them as email proxies to send email?
