antonkr Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Looking at the ram we used >.> the standard price would be $40/month. So yeah..I think ethre had a decent deal being lower :P.A third option is to run it from someone's PC. I'd recommend using a protection via no-ip though and the awareness it's not really a perfect option. (Eric's PC burned >.>)I'd volunteer but I am not so sure about getting 24/7 run time there though. I got all hardware (minus the hard drive which I can get) I would really need. And maybe a bit more RAM so I could run other things but the server. None of it that expensive though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDStudios Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Hardware is -mostly- irrelevant. Most modern computers can run a server these days without a problem. It all depends on your upload speed.The average internet user these days has a disgusting upload speed. About 0.1-1 Megabit upload speed.You have to pay a silly amount to your ISP to get it faster or upgrade to a server line.Either way it's more costly than simply renting a server.Unless you intend to make money from the faster speeds, there's no reason to do it. You need at least 2 Megabit upload to run a decent server.1 megabit can handle perhaps 3 people... 4 at a push. Again I agree with Ethre, thanks to Pronam and Ub3r and Argo (when he actually pops his head up :P )Server has been pleasant :D Looking for the best deals right now, Ethre's is definitely a great deal.We have the best part of just over a week to find one, so get your magnifying glasses out guys :DPlenty of time.

ub3rman123 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Thanks to both of you for keeping the server up! I also think I forgot to delete that zipped file I made, it was just for mapping. Edit: Woah, Eric's PC actually set on fire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lostone1993 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 thanks for all yourve done ethre and pronam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ub3rman123 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 So is 40 dollars/month a good baseline to look for? I'll Google around some and see if I can find much cheaper with what we need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KDStudios Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 Ethre was paying much less than that ^_^I suggest you message him if you're curious :)In all honesty the deal Ethre got is the best I've seen so far, but I'm still searching :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rational314 Posted August 24, 2011 Share Posted August 24, 2011 New Server will up tomorrow, I'll post the relevant details then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethre Posted August 25, 2011 Author Share Posted August 25, 2011 KD's right about the upload speed. Its not so fun when your blocks respawn. In terms of data transfer its not really significant. I have no numbers for the server itself, but I ran a few on the local server and it really wasn't a noticeable amount for a high-speed internet connection. That said, if you were, say downloading linux distros, you would definitely feel the impact. The current rates seem more like that Ub3r. I was in at slightly less than a quarter of that (and originally I was looking for a cheaper host!). Good to hear from you Dr Grimm. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
antonkr Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 My upload speed is around 4 megabits actually :tongue: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Argomirr Posted August 25, 2011 Share Posted August 25, 2011 Yeah, big thanks to Ethre for hosting and maintaining the server, and to Pronam for fixing it when we would break it, and to ub3r for doing both his and my job when I was not around. :P The server has been great. :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
