Tricks Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Title says it all, just looking at what the advantages are of switching to a dedicated server? Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triage Posted August 8, 2014 Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Dedicated will always beat all other hosting situations. Your in charge of everything. It can be overwhelming if its your first time on a dedicated server and it takes a little learning and getting used to. hambeast 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricks Posted August 8, 2014 Author Report Share Posted August 8, 2014 Is the performance much better? What FPS do you typically get with a server that is script heavy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI you can get away with using the windows datacenter version (or whatever its called... web host version?) and it is much cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hambeast Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 You could also get it for free if you know someone that is a full time student using MS DreamSpark program then we're in colo territory. Unless your host lets you upload an iso and will do the install for you that way. Also not exactly legal... If we go down that road, you could just pirate a copy but I don't want to condone that.

f3cuk Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 We actually run dedicated on a Win7 box, should do just fine with some decent tuning. Seems to do the job just fine (steady 50 fps untill we reach 15 Players). But then again we have never had a full restart cycle run with 20+ people constant online, so couldnt tell you how it helds its own under real stress.

Uro Posted August 9, 2014 Report Share Posted August 9, 2014 Please be aware of the additional monthly windows fee if you plan on using windows I had to go back to game hosts as couldn't afford the box plus £50/month for windows And i'm not knowledged enough fore linux Most EU hosts charge around €20/pcm for windows licencing, UK hosts will always be more expensive because of the value of the GBP £ PM me if your stuggling to find a host I could recommend some for you.

You dont have to colo to install your own OS most hosts give you IPMI with full dedicated servers unless you have a really bad host or VDS/VPS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
