Host server

[Maniacmap]

Hello, i am going to order a deticated server from internett. Ill pay 799,- norwegian kroner
This is the spec of the computer
Is this any good ?


DELL POWEREDGE R210
- Prosessor: Intel Xeon 3430 2.4GHz
- Minne: 4 GB 1066MHz
- Harddisk: 2 x 1 TB RAID1
- OS: CentOS 5.4

Question: Is centOS different from orginal windows or somthing? Whats easys to host server CentOS or windows ?

It's okey for a server.

 

[Maniacmap]

how much people can i run on the server without lag ?

 

[Cykotitan]

It all depends on connection speed, upload speed to be more specific.

What more do i need to remember ?
iam afraid to order when iam not 100% sure what i need to think about : )

 

[Sonical]

Get as much as possible RAM (over 4gb is recommend), over 10mbit of upload speed (1mbit = 80-100 players), powerful CPU and maybe Linux OS (better than windows)

 

[Maniacmap]

is it harder on linux then windows ? or is the same. ?

If you have to ask that question and have no clue about linux, you probably wont figure it out... just buy windows.
