Need a dedicated server to host multiple online games

jpardoe · 17th December 2005

Hi,
I'm looking for a dedicated server that can handle up to 4 simultaneous games with 32 players on each.

What specs do I need?

Any recommended hosts?

Low latency is a high priority.

Resource-hungry ones:

CS:S
BF2
Doom3 perhaps
F.E.A.R. perhaps

You get the picture

If that question is addressed to me:

You can ping/trace to 82.136.28.1 - please contact me on MSN for game server addresses.

The servers are located in Redbus Sovereign House, a datacentre located in London Docklands, United Kingdom.

By the way... you're not going to be able to run anything more than a 32 man BF2 & possibly 32 man CSS on something like a 3000+ (if I remember correctly).

jpardoe · 17th December 2005

Monil: what about a 4000+?

P.Jackson · 17th December 2005

it would still be a struggle especially with BF2 being a resource hog

You can always order two
