Dedicated Server.

[Hazz]

I'm might be renting a dedicated server instead of renting single game servers out.

However I need to know what kind of spec I would need to run this lot:

CSS servers:

30 - 40 slot 66tick (zombiemod)
20 slot 100 tick (standard gameplay)
20 slot 66 tick (deathmatch)
12 slot 100 tick (match server)

Along with this about 20 slot ventrilo and webhosting.

20 slots at 100 tickrate wont run. 18 is the highest 100 tickrate. Ill assume you will want 66 tickrate 20 slots.
40 slot 66tick (zombiemod)
20 slot 66 tick (standard gameplay)
20 slot 66 tick (deathmatch)
12 slot 100 tick (match server)
At least 2 ghz dual core. Better would be dual core 2.4.

2.4 at least I'd say (Core 2 Duo E6600 or better)

till 18 players => 100 tick
till 32 players => 66 tick
above 32 players => 33 tick

I'd like to point out to everyone (as this statement has been said multiple ways by multiple people - and yes, its about the wording of the statement, not the actual statement!), that this isn't entirely true.

You can indeed run your server at 100 tickrate with however many slots you wish. But, as mentioned above, these are the recommended server slot sizes relevant for the more popular tickrates, and sometimes if you exceed them, there are reported issues by some people of lag/warp issues.

Thanks for you help. If I end up going for for the dedicated server I will run this:

18 slot 100 tick
12 slot 100 tick
30 slot 66 tick
20 slot 66 tick

How much would expect a company to charge for a box that could run this? (Data centre boxes)

[Hazz]

Would this cut it?

Intel Dual Core Xeon 1.86GHz - 2MB Cache (1066fsb)
1GB DDR2 RAM (upgradeable)
80GB SATA 7200rpm (upgradeable) HDD

[Spartanfrog]

That wouldnt run it.
@ Muppet, well yeah thats true. Now on ill say you shouldnt

I found this:

Seem good enough?

[Spartanfrog]

In theory it should but you never know. But I would go for it
