Just wondering who here has much experience hosting CS servers on dedicated boxes. I'm not concerned about ping/latency/loss or anything right now.
What I'm wondering is approximate capacity of a P4 2.4GHz box w/ 1GB RAM and/or P4 3.06GHz box 1/ 1GB RAM and/or Dual Xeon 3.06GHz w/ 2GB RAM.
I'm wondering if there are any of you currently hosting servers and how many private servers (and number of slots of each) and how many public servers (and # of slots for each) you can host reliably on each server.
When I say reliably, I mean without worrying about hitting 100% processor usage or memory usage during peak times, or anything other bottleneck that would effect any hosted servers.
Basically I'm trying to figure out which box will be the most cost effective, and then figure out what to charge if I can get a fairly close estimate of how many servers I can cram on to a box without affecting server performance.
