Will all this be fine for a CSS Server?
#1
Okay, I've decided to host a 24/7 CSS deathrun server.

At the moment i'm on an adsl 1 connection and as soon as theres more than 4 people it gets a bit laggy, No idea why as I do a speed test and my uploads still 300kb and download is up to 5mb.

These will be the specs of everything when I upgrade the server / Internet so you guys can tell me if its alright.

One Counter-strike source DEATHRUN server running Mani admin mod.
Player limit: 12.

On a:
Pentium 4, 3.0ghz CPU.
1gig DDR1 Ram,
160gig HD,
Windows Server 2003.

Internet speed:
Netcomm NB9W
ADSL+2,
Download Speed: 24Mbps
Upload Speed: 1Mbps.

Should all that be fine?

Thanks.

Hmmm, Well one of my friends hosts 4 gmod servers and a synergy server in New zealand (As we all know they have crapper internet than australia) & with 8 players on 2 servers at a time pings are less than 150 with no lag.
And his upload speed is worser than mine.
So its a bit confusing.

I think it shud do it.
I run a 22 slot 66 tic (css) server on a pentium 4, 500Mb ram, Download speed: id have no idea, Upload speed: no idea xD, but only thing i know is that theres just 5% of the players on the server complaining about lagg, the pings are all under 80, high ping doesn't make my server laggy, im proud of that 8year old pc Toungue Smile

Haha awesome,
Well I found that HL2 Guide to setting up a lag free server.
& It explains really good settings you can edit to decrease the pings in game.

Thanks.

If you want to host 12 players you need at least 900kbps of upload.
300kbps will hold 4, maybe 6 if you are lucky.

1mbit will allow you to get up to 14 players
I'm talking about 33 tick slots by the way Smile

Hi again, Sorry for late reply.

Still dont understand how someone hosting 4gmod servers off a new zealand wireless provider can have people on his server with lower pings than mine.

This is a picture I took from my server of when the pings spiked.
(Usually they were around 60,70 & 80 which were fine.
Just spiking up to 100-200 instantly would lag people at crucial moments in game.
