hi all,

I am planning to run a CS game server, but I really have no idea about this, here are my questions:

where can I get the license to run a cs game server?

how much it will cost?

how can I make money for running cs game server? who will pay me?

my dedicated server as following:

dual xeon 2.0 CPU
2g RAM
73G SCSI
1000G bandwidth

any suggestion is welcome. thanks in advance~~

"I am planning to run a CS game server"

Personally I think that should be 'I am considering....' because you obviously dont know enought yet to actual do it

I don't think that you need one, but contact Valve & Steam to make sure!

how much it will cost?
I believe that it doesn't cost anything to run a server, other than bandwidth & server rental

how can I make money for running cs game server? who will pay me?
I would assume that a customer would pay you! Anyone who needs their own gameserver, clans etc

1. It is free get files from steam.

2. It's more or less free but don't forget billing application and any other software you may need.

3. What above poster said.

I'll set it up for free if you'd like, just PM me.

Wouldn't this thread be better in the dedicated server forum? This doesn't have anything to do with running a web hosting business.
