Employee Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I have had this question in the back of my mind for a while, What kind of specs would be minimum for running a Counter-strike 1.6 Server and a Web server with at maximum 150 people coming through each day? How do advertisments on webpages work? How much money do they really give you? How do disclaimers work? How Would I make a CS 1.6 Server Register every shot, have low ping and run smooth?

uber_tom Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 I wouldn't have thought specsto be the problem, bandwidth maybe but specs no. I'd have thought you would have had a harder time finding something that couldn't host CS 1.6. I think the min were (that's WERE, before all the patches) about p233 with 32 meg ram and not alot of disk space, as for the web server side that should also be plenty. though i guess this would depend on the plugins and what not.

VaKo Posted November 14, 2006 Share Posted November 14, 2006 DO NOT RUN A GAME SERVER AND A WEBSITE ON A VPS. I now work for a company that provide virtual private severs and we keep getting idiots trying to run Plesk, a game server and websites on the same box. It doesn't work.

How about running a counter strike 1.6 server and HLTV? What kind of specs would I need? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now work for a company that provide virtual private severs and we keep getting idiots trying to run Plesk, a game server and websites on the same box. It doesn't work. Why specifically doesn't it work? Simple answer is that people get a windows VPS (bad idea anyway), then run Plesk on it. Which takes loads of resources. Turn plesk off and its ok, but its still on a system with a bunch of other VPS's. The linux ones are much better, as plesk is just webpages, and not loaded onto the system all the time. Or so the 2nd line guys tell me. Basically, they say if you want a game server, you just run games on it, turn everything else off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spartain X Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 performance is key better and faster is what you are looking at but as vako recommended it's not a good idea to have a game server and web server at once due to the performance impact Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
uber_tom Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 Would it affect the performance as much if you had the web sever (or cs server) running on a virtual machine? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaKo Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 There more your asking your server to do, the less well it will handle the tasks. So VMing an entire OS wouldn't be a good idea at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
