DanCF Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 How many GB of transfer/month do you guys usually see on a fully sold 4 core server? I am just curious if 1000GB is adequate or if I should purchase more bandwidth, as to not incur the wrath of insane overage charges. Thanks guys!

DanCF Posted November 10, 2007 Author Share Posted November 10, 2007 lets say mostly games based on the quake 3/4 or half life 1/2 engines. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIS-MOTHER Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 You won't pop your cap with those titles. You'll run out of box resources before you run out of BW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamnp Posted November 10, 2007 Share Posted November 10, 2007 Permitting you sell privates, and permitting they don't have TV's that arn't hogs. I have one machine that pushes close to 5000GB/month, while others push less than 100Gigs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

adamnp Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 yeah Correct! both are in the top10 servers ranked via game-monitor gametracker and gamespy. I was just offering a sideview that you never do know, because at one point you might just get that customer that does indeed have a popular server and pushes a fair amount of bandwidth. And we all know overages are quite the penny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
qwidjib0 Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 2TB/month is a nice average for a maxed game server from what I've seen, but again as everyone has said, it's really about what games you're hosting. Your best bet is to find a provider that's flexible on bandwidth - some will charge you $5/GB, others will just ask you to try their upgraded plan next month.

Creed3020 Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 Based on past experiences managing game servers for my clan we never went over our caps but that was when we were spread across two servers with 2TB each. We now have one server with 3TB but I am still not worried. BF2 and BF2142 are the biggest BW suckers I have ever seen. For a full 40 slot BF2 server we strongly averaged between 1.9-2.2 GB an hour. Extraploate that out to a month and it adds up fast. Some providers also offer pooled bandwidth if you have a private rack with them. Always a good option when you have some servers which push 3TB+/month and some that only use 1TB/month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
