Is it possible to host 3d online games on a dedicated server
80gb space 1000gb data transfer ???

I mean can i run two or more dedicated game server at the same time using this conf.and monthly bandwidth won't exceed !?

bf1942 64player
bf-vietnam 64 player


any one had exp with runing game server from this conf.?like
80gb space 1000gb data transfer monthly.ssh or telnet

what is the requirement for the dedicated server ?software?
self manage/full managed ?


how many games server can virtualy run at the same time if not to exceed the monthly transfer limit ?

can u recommand a cheap dedicated server ??:o :o

what is 10mbit unmeter ?? more than 1000gb data transfer p.m ?
is that very expensive ?or necessary for game servers ?

Mind giving the actual server specs? It completely depends on that from the details you gave us.

you will need more than 10mbit for both of those if you want them to be full at the same time. My personal servers (36 players per server w/ 256kbit cap per player) push around 3mbit per server when they are full. With 64 players, it will be 6mbit plus overhead and a little more for the increased player slots per server. So, lets say 7mbit to be safe, for 64 players. 7 x 7 = 14 mbit for both servers full at the same time, which will (probably) never happen.

Hardware Specs (assuming both are full at the same time):
As far as server specs go, you will need 1.5gb of ram atleast, 2gb would run alot better. Atlest a dual processor box with 2.4-2.8ghz processors.

I think you should post what your budget is, and post how often you think the servers will be full, and things like that. And a cheap dedicated server will not run both of the servers, at the same time.

Hosting game servers it would be very hard to exceed 1000GB bandwidth.

You will usually run out of CPU power before bandwidth, but the poster neglected to provide such details. It could be a quad Opteron for all we know.

and usually a server will not be full 24/7

ofcourse they wont always be full 24/7, but there is a good chance that they will be full for ~4 hours, in which you will need the higher spec hardware.
