Recommended Posts

Hello,

 

What is the best version for performance to host gameservers between:

 

- Windows server 2008 Web Edition ( 32/64 bits)

- Windows server 2008 Datacenter Edition (32/64bits)

 

 

Thanks you for your replies.

Regards

There is honestly nothing wrong with the Web Edition for game servers. Server 2008 doesn't impose the 1GB RAM limit like Server 2k3. If the box is strictly for game servers, then there will be no problem. I run Web edition on many servers hosting game servers. Only limits imposed are the amount of Roles the computer can host (As in microsoft roles, IIS, Windows Media Services, etc) It doesn't effect Apache or any other types of services you wish to run.

ECF is correct, you're technically violating the SPLA agreement to run anything other than a web server on Web Edition.

 

I would recommend using 2008 Standard; which fairly recently got revised pricing for hosting providers and is pretty competitive with 2003 Standard rates. That's by far the cheapest solution I've seen so far that isn't violating the agreement.
