Would you pay for hosting?
- Thread starter urbanfox
- Start date
Might be interested however its really not that competative at £30.
In the UK you can get colocation for £30 a month on a 10gb backbone (1mbit isn't alot in comparison lol). And also as its UK you would have better pings as most players on servers are Euro based.
Any ideas on what server spec's as well? Celeron/Duron based PC with 1024MB Ram would do nicely
Any way I am getting a Free server from a US friend tomorrow for my server if it turns out to be **** I may be interested, but prolly for a little less then £30

Well if you remember Urbanfox hosted AO for a period of time and that was on a home connection and it was 6,000 miles away from 99% of the players and yet still no lags. I'm sure a server on a 100mbit line would't lag either. =)
i pay 37.99 a month for my net alone, so a dedicated pc for ur server for 30 quid a month sounds very gd

It's about $50 USD.
I would be hosting on fiber, not cablemodem, about 4000/4000 with bandwidth upgrades every year.

Specs would be
A64 3000+/3200+ s939
2x512MB DC DDR400
It's not something immediate, might be a reality in 1-2 months.
Cost would be 25-30 pounds, or $50 USD

Well once you start adding lots of spawns and such the CPU usage can
get relatively high with a feature packed server, so I want to give as much headroom as possible.

$30/Month - 16.2084GBP/Month - 23.7613EUR/Month
A toxic hazard just kill a fox. :drobot:

What you fail to realise is that I am still the only viable option for a few reasons concerning that link:
1) Any company will in no way take the risk for a mir server.
2) The starter server would lag...
· AMD 2000+
· 256 MB SDRAM
· 40 GB Hard Drive
3) Your not covering the hidden costs... For that $30 USD, your assuming that we will run linux (not possible) and a few other things.
So, let's add the costs together:
Basic starter $30
· AMD 2000+
· 256 MB SDRAM
· 40 GB Hard Drive
+ windows server $26/month
+ Basic firewall $50/mont + $100 setup
+ 1GB FTP backup $15/month
So, the first month, in reality, you pay $221 USD, and $121 USD every month after that, for crappy specs, assuming they don't shut you down.
THE WIZARD OWNS CHRISTIAN AGAIN :wixard!?:
Shinoda said:Wouldn't you benefit from more of a raw power P4 or Dual CPU of some sort
Dual CPU costs more $$$... like a lot more $$$. Not to mention Unless I am mistaken the mir servers/emulators are not multi threaded.
In my experience A64 seems to do better than P4 when hosting.
it sounded alot of money at first to me but after i readed all these posts it dont seem so bad. i would pay 30 pound a month if i had the money ( oni 15 so cant rly afford 30 quid lol)
( oni 15 so cant rly afford 30 quid lol)I pay £15 for my server atm,
2.6ghz
1mb RAM
Windows 2003 Server
100MB Connection
which is good for the price...
