BF3 server recommendations?

Post by Zaxxon »

Our gaming community is thinking about adding on a 32 slot Rush Server. Currently we can consistently run one 56 slot Conquest server with no problems on a 2 Core VDS.

If we were to put up this next server, I am afraid that a 2 Core and possibly even a 3 Core VDS won't handle it.

In this case are we better off renting a Game Server (and not a VDS) for the 32 slot, or are we better off adding more cores to our current VDS?

You would be better off renting a single server from us, that way we can ensure you are on the fastest performing hardware we offer and make sure nothing is being overloaded..etc.

If you're adding a 32-slot server, it's highly likely that a 3-core could handle it and also fairly likely that a 2-core could handle it. The fact that your VDS can run 56 means that its core speed is easily enough to run a 32 -- you just need enough total cores to make multiple servers work without stepping on each others' toes.
