Garry's Mod - Lots of servers

[Pac]

So in the far (maybe near?) future I was thinking of expanding my community a bit and moving my hosting over to NFOservers onto a VDS.

I was wondering if the current 3-core (managed) plan could handle the following:

1x Extreme Football Throwdown @ 24 slots
2x Trouble in Terrorist Town @ 32 slots
2x Deathrun @ 32 slots
2x Jailbreak @ 32 slots
And maybe (probably not), 1x Roleplay @ 48 slots

Help is appreciated.

It's difficult to precisely predict how your servers would perform because performance varies so much depending on the server configuration, average number of players in the server, and so on. But, if all of your servers are busy, you'll likely need larger than a 3-core VDS, because you're running many servers that are all quite large. With full 32-slot Garrysmod servers, I might plan for a core per server.

One nice benefit to a VDS is that you can start small and upgrade if needed, though. You could start with a 4-core, for instance, and upgrade to a 6-core or 8-core if you run into CPU performance limitations.

Yeah I know, I seldom expect them to be full and I know it's hard to predict. Eventually if I would ever run into problems I was considering just lowering the tickrate, unless it's memory problems of course, which is what worries me the most.
