Well iam stuck in a hard place right now i have to switch data centers.

 

And the data center i want to go to only can supply me with linux or server 2008 webedtion.

Ill be doing mostly valve games

 

Also how does server 2008 run the game servers ?

There is ram and processor limitations, but afaik it still runs. Someone with experience in Windows/TCAdmin can probably better answer this then me though.

yah i see i would need a license for each processor but i would like to know if i can run game servers of this web edtion

2008 x64 Web Edition will allow up to 128GB of RAM and 2 CPU's. It's not capped like 2003 web was.

yes

I think there is something in the TOS that prevents you from running game servers but could be wrong.

You can use 2008 Web edition only for web hosting, nothing else.

Then every GSP offering dedicated servers for rent will have to stop. Many including some in this forum sell web edition for game hosting. I know i used to rent from them.

You're right. As they're using SPLA program, they are responsible how their own customers are using the software.

But i know a lot of hosters that install Unauthentificated licences for their customers without any control

No wonder Microshaft had to lay off 8,000 people.
