 | View Full Version : Dedicated Game Servers? Rebel 06-30-2001, 07:54 PM I have a clan, and also will have a clan network soon. We will need a few dedicated game servers, and I thought I would ask if any of you host companies offer such a deal? If you do, please respond so I can ping your site to get an idea for pings. We are looking for servers that we ping less than 50ms to. I live in Overland Park, KS...and I am connected with a 2.4mbps roadrunner cable line. Thanks, -Reb node9 07-01-2001, 12:31 AM . Chicken 07-01-2001, 01:34 AM From what I can remember, you aren't a host but it would be better to contact them via the board than post all of your info for every email harvesting spider and spammer to suck up. Dexter 07-01-2001, 12:36 PM well what kind of game server you looking at. there's a company that runs CS and half life servers. they say they plan to add tribes 2, UT and Q3 soon as well... check it out at http://griffinrun.com/ prices aren't bad considering the kind of bandwidth a game server can use... Rebel 07-01-2001, 01:48 PM We ping hoorible to them for some reason. =( Like a 120+ms which is not exactly the ping we are looking for. joe52 07-02-2001, 02:45 PM I get about 35ms to griffinrun.com. I find this interesting only in that in their market there may be a greater need for NOCs in multiple locations. I had my web site hosted in California for a year on a server that usually had a ping from my of <150ms. It never really bothered me much for web hosting, but the difference between a 30ms ping and a 150ms ping is much more of an issue. http://www.actionblaster.com/ also has game server rentals. I've never dealt with them. Has anyone else out there used their servers? qps 07-02-2001, 05:11 PM http://www.pwnz.net - they're a customer of ours... :) At the moment though, their website, which we do not host, appears to be down. Not sure why. Regards, intertune 07-03-2001, 02:33 AM <<MOD EDIT:>> Please review the forum guidelines.

Thanks Abbas jw 07-03-2001, 04:08 AM a half life (and similar mods) take about 100 gigs/mo with 32 users, so its a pretty hefty amount. |
