Dedicated server
I need some advice before I do anything.
Now I'm wanting to either pay for or set up a dedicated server for my squad. I checked a few companies that offer Dedicated servers for just this purpose. Now some of the better ones were for $100-300 US a month. This got me to thinking about setting up a server on my own and that's what I need advice on. Just follow my line of thinking. I can get a case, CPU, Motherboard, and HD (20 gig) for about $340. Now I used to have a P3 500mhz with 192mb of RAM, and a 32mb Riva TNT2 Model 64. I asked the members, and they said with my old set up the hardly ever got lag, but there were problems with CI's. So on the server PC I was going to go with a faster CPU and more RAM to correct that issue. Now to the basic questions that I have. Is it possible to use a second PC as a dedicated server? I've got a cable connection would I be able to connect the two PC's to the same cable line? Let me know your thoughts on this so I can know if i'm barking up the wrong tree, or should I just break down, and pay $100-300 a month. |
depends on your upload, if you host two BHD servers on the same router then one or the other will totaly suck, or maybe just both.
With a good server you need a good CPU and at least a gig of memory, and trust me mate nothing worth 340 bucks is going to host any thing good lol thats enough for a CPU and stick of memory LMAO But trust me you need better then cable if you want to attempt to host 2 servers with out a small hiccup, trust me if you get all your squad to pay for it, iots well worth it |
You want 2 computers on the same line, like one dedicated server and then one computer that you use? Or 2 dedicated servers?
Systemkaos is right. And by the way, you don't need a good video card to run on a server, unless you plan on playing on it also. |

Mainly what I'd be hosting would be LW and/or TFD. |
whats ur connection speed?? I hosted a server on bhd on this pc and the internet was effected on the other pc...

for a good connection, u want a decent computer and a fast connection...an old squad of mine, the founder had two computers, 1 he hosted off and 1 he played on. there was a program so all u do it leave ur computer on and open this program and it shows the desktop of the computer you are hosting from. u can open programs ect. example...u can open bhd and host a server, close the program down on yo ur playing computer, then join your host so u would never ever have to toach your other computer. :D :) ;)
