How much bandwidth

[jcarney1987]

I am not sure how I figure out how much bandwidth I really need. I want to start out hosting Teamspeak but I don't know if a VPS with 200GB of bandwidth will be sufficient enough.

 

I also want to do americas army starting out.

 

Please help me.

 

Thanks!

It should be enough to get you started, but I would not suggest using a VPS for running much more than a web site. Teamspeak is not very demanding, but you will be in a shared environment.

 

Your host should also have upgrade options for bandwidth, should you run out.

 

In regards to hosting AA servers, you are going to need a dedicated server, a VPS wont we able to do that very well. Also, unless you are selling honor servers, you most likely wont sell many.

You want to host TCAdmin/Games/TeamSpeak on a VPS?

 

Or just the TeamSpeak?

 

It all sounds like a bad idea to be honest.

oh yea just ts and the game panel. AA servers will be on a dedicated server. But again how much bandwidth should aa use?

 

Oh yeah and I do want to sell honor servers. There is just a $5000usd setup. Does any body know a better route?

I believe TCAdmin is not supported on a VPS....

[jcarney1987]

Well the vps providers I am thinking about going with state that I can excute any exe files. Install/uninstall. They state that I will have full control over it like it is a dedicated server.

If you want to know how much you'll need, you need to start calc.exe and make few very simples maths: take the better TS codec and convert it into GB/mo and divide your quota by this and you'll get maximum slots that you can host (well it's better to remove a little, maybe 5 or 6% for logins, chats, etc).

I have installed a few installations on VPS of the panel and monitor for others, but I would definitely recommend a higher specification machine.

Thats what they all say. doesn't mean everything works like they claim.

It depends on whether he is using a vps or a vds, they are extremely different. Full root access can be given on both, we offer it on all our vps' and vds', but its how the server is virtualised that is the key to why it will/wont work.

 

TCA wont run very well on a vps, regardless of the available resources, I know I tested it on one of ours ages ago. Whereas it will run on a vds, though it is still recommended to use it on its own dedi, if not for the disk space requirement needed for growth.
