Sakowski 1 Posted May 27, 2012 Hello! I have a question, whats the minimal or actually good specification for VPS to host ArmA 2 CO server for at least 20 - 32 players Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jastreb 69 Posted May 27, 2012 Hi. It depends on a missions ( purpose of server ) you plan to run. Some general recommendation is quad core processor of new generation, 4gb ram, 64bit OS, and the more bandwidth the better. More people on server more bandwidth needed. Not below at least 5Mbps upload line. http://forums.bistudio.com/showthread.php?131065-Small-private-ARMA2-CO-dedicated-server-s-minimal-requirements Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sakowski 1 Posted May 27, 2012 Well im planning to buy: 512MB RAM 10GB Disk Space 2 Cores 500GB Transfer Will it hold up 32 slot Domination and a Teamspeak 3 without a problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That ram is looking very grim! And pushing it with the 10GB- not even sure if the game files will fit on that? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sakowski 1 Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) Ah yes the game its self weight 10gb... Kinda new to that so on VPS I would need to.. install the game? to host a dedi? (used VPS before but not hosting a game from it of arma 2) Really I think sticking with VPS would save me money by looking how much 32 slots server actually cost... I could simply start with 20 or 14 slot but then additional cost for TS3. My calculations show that VPS would be better choice.

ck-claw 1 Posted May 27, 2012 What sort of prices were you looking at for game servers? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sakowski 1 Posted May 27, 2012 (edited) Most of sites give you about 40 USD (paying with GBP so it is a difference but still) where some give you lower, I have found one site that gives u for 14 slots + 10 TS3 for $16.86 and that would be £10 monthly but when going for 24 slots and 10 ts3 slots its 17 GBP still trying to look for smaller prices on differ websites. Indeed I do want to start off with around 14 slots but I want to as well have TS3 with it. However I have thought that I could buy off 20 or 14 slots which will be around 8-10 £ then buy a TS3 server with 25 slots for $4.35 Edited May 27, 2012 by Sakowski Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jastreb 69 Posted May 28, 2012 I think youd be better of with rented server then. VPS will cost you up to 100 euros per month and you still need to set it up and make it work properly. If prices for 20 slots are low as that what you say Id rather go with it. VPS is ok for a webserver and TS3 perhaps but not really for gameservers. Those specs you listed might cope with some small old game server but not with Arma2. Not enough space, not enough bandwidth, not enough ram, and probably virtual cpu, or shared.
