Ok, so I bough a vps, it can run 2 servers for sure *I don't know how much servers I can run exactly* But anyways, I decided 2 run 2 TF2 servers - VS Saxton Hale, and a Dodgeball server. I already installed the mods and everything, (sourcemod and saxtonhale/dodgeball) Everything working like charm, but now I have some questions!
-I need help with both of the servers "server.cfg" file. I have no idea what setting to use for both of the servers.
-How much servers can my VPS run?
Specs:
Server OS: CentosO5
Dedi RAM : 2GB
Burst RAM : 4GB
Disk Space: 80GB
Bandwith : Unmetered
Connection Speed : 100mb/s
And does anyone have any other advice on what mods I should get, or anything of that kind.

VPSes are generally not well suited for game servers! And you are missing any information about the cpu speed, which will be the limiting factor. In any case, there is no good measure of the real cpu speed of a VPS (specifications are simply not comparable with a real root server). You have to try it out. I would expect at least some minor lags even with only on server, as it is a VPS only. If you experience them, there is no way around them but buying a real root server.

As for the server.cfg the defaults will work just fine, if you want to do something specific that's when you'll start changing it.
And Behaartes is exactly correct VPS's are nice and the will usually do the job, although they are just emulated machines which can cause lag spikes. I've also seen VPS's randomly crash just out of the blue while the host machine was running just fine. If at all possible I'd suggest changing to a dedicated server if only for true reliability.

Both of them are right and there's search-engines for the config.
I have to say I like the title of this thread...NOT! We're not going to help you any faster by that, nor more efficient, even less due to lack of information. Noone knows what your problem might be and so rather ignore it than getting an idea by reading the title and thinking "Oh, I think I know the solution already, let's post".

Well my answer showed that I did read your questions, so you either didn't read my reply, or you didn't understand it which actually doesn't surprise me. It's interesting that you acknowledge the simplicity of your questions and because the config-question is indeed simple, I referred you to google.
Too sad for you that my "I like your thread-title...NOT!"-opinion is based on objective points and your flaming, well, is not. Regardless of if you like my answers they're true.

You can be lucky that you're obviously dumb and (that is why) your questions are, too. If you had a real problem going on there noone would have had the patience to stand your behavior.
Anyways, bye bye!
