FF server on this machine?

~kev~ · 03-31-2009, 05:12 PM

I'am getting a new dedicated server. The order was placed last night and it should be ready either tonight or tomorrow. This is not some kind of game server, its a dedicated server running CentOS Linux.

Server stats:
Intel E8300
4 GB RAM
250GB HD
cPanel

I'am going to be running about 6 websites - which includes a mix of VBulletin forums and wordpress blogs. With the websites up and running, I should have about 2 - 2.5 gigs free memory.

I would like to host a single FF server with about 12 - 16 slots.

What do yall think about it?

2.5 gigs of memory I wouldn't be concerned with. CPU usage and bandwidth would be my main concerns, mainly the band width. But the best way to tell is to try it. There is a couple tricks for boosting the max fps the server puts out also you can find in the source mod forums or the srcds site if I remember.

Yeah should be good, are you hosting in US? Because always bad ping for us Euro players.

Hopefully you should have some good map rotations on, not boring crappy 2fort!!

The server is in Dallas Texas, USA.

Starting today, the first websites are being moved to the new server. Hopefully friday I can get the rest of the sites moved, and then start on a FF server this coming weekend.

I am looking at a rotation of 6 - 24 maps. But no more then 32.

Is it a really dedicated server or a virtual server?
Virtual servers tent to have issues with SRCDS.

However, you should be able to run a server. With 2.83GHz a core, you should easily be abel to run a single server. I'm not sure how much CPU the web sites generate though.
