Hey everyone,
I was wondering what type of connection I would need for starting a game hosting server for clans (just your idea of what you think would be a good speed to start out at)? What should I be looking at for a monthly bill for the connection? I am thinking about putting 10-20 game servers on each server I connect. Trying to see if the idea is worthwhile, I have potential investors already lined up but I don't want to waste my time and their money if its not going to be profitable enough. I would look for a co-location setup instead of leasing a line for a telco.


P.S. The servers would be 2000 Advanced server. (I could go the clustering route with 2000 and the application that balances/controls the game servers)
