VDS Info/Bandwidth Questions

Post by Pickerd »

Was thinking about getting a VDS thru NFO and had a few questions.

I run one TF2 server and 2 Monday night Combat servers. Lately, they arent too busy anymore, but they once were. I also run 2 TS3 servers ( i have a non for profit license). One has about 10-15 people in it at peak times, and the other 20-30, but the 2nd one could have as much as 40 during peak hours.

My question is, bandwidth. I was just thinking about getting the single core solution to handle this, and will probably just run the 32 player TF2 server and TS3. If the TF2 server was popular again, and when it was it was full all day, empty at night, would the monthly bandwidth allotment be sufficient for my uses? Also, would that be too much for the single core CPU?

Since it isn't all that busy, you could definitely go with a single core to start, see how it goes, and upgrade to a 2 - core later on. The update process is usually just a few minutes, so it's painless. Obviously try the 1 - Core for now, then upgrade later. The single core comes with plenty of bandwidth. You will be more limited by memory and CPU before bandwidth.
