    "level 3 admin" question?

    I am starting a new GSP and i was wondering how much should i pay to the "level 3 admin" which has great knowledge about game servers and is customer support, keep in mind he is probably the only one in the country with that much game server knowledge.

    How much shall i pay him per month?
    Thanks in advance

    For a remote L-3 admin, if India you should be looking at something around $300-1500 and for USA should be around $750-5000.

    It all depends how many hours he will be working, and what his duties will be, and where he is located.

    But if he is the most knowledgeable in your entire country then he should be worth a lot.

    Depending on how well your business is going you could always pay per ticket & game server setup.

    sorry to go off topic...but that name mustafa rings a bell to me and I dont know why.... strange.

    how much is the company earning roughly?

    paying per ticket sounds like a good idea if ur just starting out. then when it gets big you could give him a salary.

    Just take a look at the support and server administration companies listed in the WHT Wiki. Looking at these sites will give you an idea on the cost for a remote server admin.

    A Sir Admin type person would hardly work per ticket basis

    Well I do not agree that Level 3 Admin will work for you.
    If he does, then I assume that he would take 500$ Minimum per week or month.
    So better, if you learn the Gaming Server Management if your own.

    You can always search for tutorials to help in Game Servers

    I would agree with the above...

    after all its not exactually hard to maintain a game server anyway. just dont overload the box its not the same as web hosting.

    Imao the only thing you can do is trying with this company
    http://www.gameadminpanel.com/

    They will provide you TCAdmin panel, game files, game config, update, patch, mods, map pack, installation on your server, game key. You only have to provide them one dedicated server with win server 2003 or 2008 but they will not provide support for your customers.

    @ revhosting

    will they use the dedicated server for their personal use or to put the game server files on?
    When they put the game server files on the server can copy all the server files and not need licence for them again ill get one from TCAdmin?
    Thanks in advance!

    For most game servers you do not need a license to install or operate them.

    You buy TCAdmin license from them (they're TCAdmin reseller). Ofc the monthly lease is higher because they also provide you complete support, not only TCAdmin. About game file they will give you the access to one of thear File-Servers (Dallas TX, San Jose CA, New York NY). When you create a gameserver your TCAdmin will get game files and configuration from the File-Server.

    Note: TCAdmin can automatically store imported data on the HD in this way you don't need to download the same game files from the File-Server everytime you create the same service.

    Edit: Btw i suggest you to provide only the gameservers you are familiar. For example if you know nothing about Swat4 title and you host it for a client just because you have File-Server, you will not able to support your customers when they need help.

    Unless you have investors you won't be able to pay a "proper" level 3 admin full time salary.

    If I read correctly the OP stated he was in Egypt? (Correct me if I am wrong). US based servers would be usless in this case.

    sounds like self promotion to me.

    he / she can do more then go with that company....

    if he / she gets tcadmin then he / she will need a windows OS.

    but this thread is not about game control panels.

    can I ask, why egypt?

    Also, you need to provide $30.00 for the master server & $17 for any remote servers you may have. I have been a customer with these guys for 8 months, great support and constant game server file updates.
