sandbird 10 Posted November 4, 2016 Hi, I am looking for a hosting company (dedicated or not) for a vanilla Arma3 server for 100-120 slots. This server will be used for a massive clan, with members from all over Europe, so a centralized server would be preferable (France, Germany etc). I've had a dedicated server before, running Dayz Epoch, with balticservers.com, but although the machine was a Xeon, there was some 'rubbering' ingame so i am having some seconds thoughts about dedicated servers. I have no idea how the server specs have changed during this last year that i went MIA from Arma, so i guess i am wondering if its worth the trouble to even bother with a full dedicated server instead of a web-panel based one. Any input would be highly appreciated. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Richie 330 Posted November 4, 2016 With that many slots it'll be cheaper (Most likely) to rent a dedi, for Europe try OVH or Hetzner or for a single server bargain try http://oneprovider.com/ Good luck Sandbird and nice seeing you active again :) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do you think this machine will be able to run 2 servers (120 & 64 slots) ? My previous dedi box was an i7 4600. Cant say i was satisfied. (With optimized mysql server, power options on high, and unparked heads) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankbuster 1733 Posted November 4, 2016 , but although the machine was a Xeon, there was some 'rubbering' ingame so i am having some seconds thoughts about dedicated servers. Xeons don't make good A3 servers. Go for an i7. I've just closed my I7 with Hetzner in the last few days. It was excellent, never a problem and plenty powerful enough for Arma 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know Skylake is supposed to be better....i just want your opinion in case you had Haswell. -thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tankbuster 1733 Posted November 5, 2016 It was Haswell, a 4770. https://www.hetzner.de/de/hosting/produktmatrix/rootserver-haswell I can't say whether Skylake is much better than Haswell. I do know that CPU Benchmark puts my 4790K on a par with 6700K for rather less cost. That doesn't take memory performance of course; So in ARMA, Skylake might be a wise investment, especially as it's current technology whereas Haswell isn't. Edit: The above said, Hetzner's Skylakes are now cheaper than their Haswells. That wasn't the case when I got my box, a few years ago. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks, thats what i noticed as well..They are cheaper now. Probably to promote them. Cool. Thanks so much for your answer. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandbird 10 Posted November 10, 2016 I think this machine would do fine for my purpose : https://www.ovh.com/us/dedicated-servers/details-servers-range-GAME-id-MC-64-OC.xml What do you guys think ? The anti-ddos protection is something that i didnt think of before, so i guess a setup like this would be preferable right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
