What do you run for your master server?

[Derek]

Anyways I ended up going with a E8400 , 4GB , 2x 250GB HDD in RAID 1. It should be a nice little machine to host our game panel.

[Timelord_]

Just as a matter of interest, are you guys renting the boxes or colocating? What data centers/ providers?

 

Chers.

[VicToMeyeZR]

Most people here own their own servers with rackspace rental at various datacenters. But there is different ways of doing it depending on your initial cash flow. Some have to start out with rentals and work their way up... Some have initial Capitol and Build/Buy their box's and ship them off to Datacenters.

Update: The Dual Core E8400 3.0 ghZ , 4GB , 2x 250GB HDD in RAID 1 is blazing fast! I couldn't ask for anything more. Also people that don't have as many boxes hooked up the the remote would be perfect fine with a single core box and 2 gb of ram or a dual core box with 2 gb of ram.

HDD's are only 7 days old, our 2x VelociRaptors Died, I must say after 2 years running this server certainly does us proud. Constantly upgrading it, We host a few more servers on this box due to alot of overheads, 35 Servers hosted Average CPU 40%, 8.5GB Ram used and pushing just over 1TB network p/m for avg of 300 players p/d

He stated Enterprise edition which can hold up to 64GB on a 32 bit OS.
