Hiya! New server, can it run this? o.O

[Mike]

MY CLAN GOT SPONSORED WITH A DEDICATED SERVER OMG.

Ok, enough of the excitement. How many slots and servers can I run at this at peak? I don't care about an exact result, just near it is enough.

Intel Core2Duo, 2GB ram (about 500MB each server right?), 500GB hdd.

I'm really curious about this one, because i can never get any of the servers full ffs.

Atm it's running: Apache with PHP, hlstatsx ce deamon, mysql databases, gameserver (40 slot deathmatch) and a small 10 slot warserver.

If i switch out the warserver and the other things, could it possibly run 2 x 40 slot servers? One on each core.

OS is Debian Lenny.

What's the specs on the CPU?

I don't think 40 slots would go well. Deathmatch requires more than a normal server. 40 slots is intensive for DM servers, since there is so many spawning people, props and so on.

Well indeed it could be possible to run, but don't aim for absolute perfection because that won't happen.

^ Exactly. No it will not handle 2 40 slot death match servers as said above, there is sooo much going on with death match. However as you stated, you can never get the servers full, so by saying that, you should be fine for now. Until you start filling your server(s), then I would look for an upgraded server to handle the load.

[Mike]

But it should be able to handle ONE 40 slot DM server or two 24 slot servers (one on each core?)

Two 24 slots servers would be more realistic. Still pushing it

[Mike]

What if I shutdown apache and mysql and that shit?

Edit: That is one with deathmatch and one without, rite?

[dualcore1289]

You should never mix webhosting with game servers. But yes you should be fine with one dm and one without.

[Mike]

The webserver is chrooted and it isn't serving any pages atm.. Just having it.

[dualcore1289]

You still have the service that is running, is it using alot of resources, prob not, but that is resources that your gs can use instead. Again, just keep an eye on the cpu usage, and choke in the server and you will see the limits of that cpu.

[Mike]

Ok. I'm going to re-install the server and only use it for GS hosting. I'll host 2 servers; one css 24 slot and one tf2 24 slot. None of them Deathmatch.
