Dedicated Server Hosting Qs

[Myzteryz]

Ok so me and a friend are looking for a good, medium reliable server.

So we were looking around and we found this http://www.theplanet.com/selfmanaged_servers/

We're looking at around having around 150 players connecting to our server since we're developing a game. And possibly more but for now, just around 150 players.

look at the "Entry Level" package and I want to hear thoughts. We just want the default options.

A man told me about 1U Racks and I was wondering if that was in the package (I looked but I saw nothing ).
We need the server to be able to have easy access and be in the middle of the country. Say Texas xD.

Thanks for the feedback.

I'm the friend, by the way.

I have no idea what we are looking for when it comes to rental, game hosting, servers. It also has to be able to run MySQL, and custom programs ( I believe that would be a "dedicated" server? ).

Thanks.

To me it appears as you've came to the right place atleast, it's most likely a server that you can use to whatever you want, as you'd thought. However the 109-er may just be a little weak, I don't know how much power you need but the specifications doesn't seem like more than an average PC...

The server software doesn't use many resources, and right now we're running off of donations, so we can't afford the big servers -yet-.

Well as long as you can run the server on a decent PC without problems, it should be fine

We're planning to go with the $139 one and not the 109.

It seems the server is pretty well geared and with the 1500GB bandwidth/month we should have no problems at all. What do you think?

I recommend using: LayeredTech.Com

Look at their weekly specials and they have great servers for around 79.99/month with these kind of stats.

HD: 160
BD: 1.5k GB
Dual Core 2.6Ghz
8 IPs

Does it have 1.5k Bandwidth and a 100MBPS connection line? >.>

 

[Rad]

would that seriously cost that much? I mean jesus thats outrageous

well nevermind lol I guess that makes sense, my connection is 40$ a month with 4MB connection

but even then, is that even necessary?

 

[DDRtists]

Rad, the question wasn't if your computer is better, or if we should pay it. Please don't be an ass.

We also didn't ask if you think it is necessary to have, we asked where to get one. If you don't know, don't answer.
