1) HW

totally depends on how many slots you wish to host and at what quality (tickrate)

[Beck]

Slots? Is that number of DODS servers? If it is, then just one.

What is tickrate?

[Drocona]

with slots I mean the amount of players you wish to host
with tickrate I mean the amount of updates that will be sent by the server to the clients (the higher, the more quality, the more resources and stuff)

[Beck]

Max 26 players

Whats recommended tickrate?

[Drocona]

well that really depends on the connection speed (UPLOAD)
You can host 26 players at 33 tickrate on a 3mbps upload connection
for 66 tickrate it will double for sure.

[Beck]

Its only a 768Kbps upload so will it work?

[Drocona]

768 will hold around 14 players at 33 tickrate

My connection uploads at 130kbs, at that speed I am able to host a 12 player css server with a 66 tick rate.

that is just totally impossible....
are you sure you're talking about 130kiloBITS per second and not 130 kiloBYTES per second?
AIf you're talking about BITS your server is laggin HARD!!
