Thats alot. I wouldn't go above 5-6 Even for 5-6 - GET ALOT OF RAM - NO LESS THAN 1GB, get a FAST HD, get GHZ processor(s) Esr Tek 11-25-2002, 01:29 PM I have a buddy who runs a successfull gaming company... He runs about 8 ports (servers) of 1 game (cs)per server w/ shared oc12 backbone. Each game port has its own FTP, Admin panel and NO one cept him can reboot servers!! (never give them that access) His System config is: Dual amd XP1900's 1gb DDR Ram Ultra Scsi Hd's (super fast not sure exact model) T1000 network card to backbone. Redhat 7.3 OS (IMHO and his MANDATORY) Win2k server (4-5 ports per box) He can run upto: 8 of CS servers of >16 player limit and it goes down on max ports when player limits raise. HTH rlynch 11-25-2002, 03:04 PM how do u make money when running a cs or any game server? Lippy 11-25-2002, 03:53 PM you sell them to people by the month for some good cash. rlynch 11-25-2002, 05:38 PM i dont mean selling the servers...i mean by actually running them...besides donations...is there any other source? dherman76 11-25-2002, 06:07 PM you would need to sell..how else, by in-game advertising???? Esr Tek 11-25-2002, 07:56 PM My buddy has it set to a certain $ amount per player on port.. amount x players = total price per mnth He also does in game advertising via Admin Mod. Also he list his site name in every servers name.. (ie.. Texas Counter-Strike -=Hosted by ApexSun.com=-) To make any money on this you would have to charge per port! or you could include a decent 200meg / 2gb bw webhosting account and incorprate costs of both into 1. (I would not suggest webhosting and game servers off same box) [Even tho you can easily get away w it for a bit, most game severs will have stats and those can take up some resources when parsing larg log files. Therefore making the game servers lag when these run.] HTH :D apollo 11-26-2002, 02:21 AM Well, I suggest running a max of three CS servers on the machine you specified above.... How many max players per server he has set-up ? |
