Hey guys,I wanted a dedicated server for 45-49£ (my max budget).
I'm from Kuwait I'm 17 and i want to host a Counter Strike 1.6 private server for me and my friends ( 300-500 Tickrate and 32 Players + No Lag/Packet Loss ).

All the EU servers have ping 230+mm but UK is 190+mm,so i am looking for a UK dedicated Server.

I went through
www.openmindhosting.co.uk
www.rapidswitch.com
www.poundhost.com

all around £45-49 per month

Intel Dual Core 2.4Ghz
1GB RAM
1 x 160GB HDD
2,000GB Bandwidth
100MBit
Linux - CentOS 5.3 (32 or 64 bit)
Not maintained

The only problem is i don't know what would be the quality and if the pings will be around 190+mm here in Kuwait.
This will be my first time to rent a dedicated server and i am totally blank,i don't know how to use Linux and how to maintain a server.I did host CS on my on desktop (win xp).

So please can you tell me among the 3 sites which one is the best cause i don't know about the vat too and a step guide on how to maintain and install CS 1.6 on it.If you know any other please do share.

Thanks.
