[Athenuz]

Hello,

I have this PC:
http://support.hp.com/us-en/document/c03517389
HP Envy H8 14-14 Desktop

I'd like to know how many players / how huge map i could host with this computer?
I have no idea and i'd like to know if its enough or i need to upgrade/get something better.

Regards

First of all hosting on personal computer is bad.
Real map its taking like 2-3 GB ram on windows x64. Rest is for players
1 player is taking couple of KB.
AND of course u need good internet connection.

Oh.. what's the bad side of hosting on personal computer?
I'll use this computer only for development of the project and then only for hosting, nothing else...

Internet, well, right now i have around 5mbs download and as much 1mb upload '-' (internet kinda sux here, México)
But i've heard about a company with over 15mbs of speed, i guess that's good enough x'D

..I need to focus on the upload speed than download, right?... Or equal?

EDIT:

Incase i use RL MAP, how many players can i hold with 10GB RAM? xD 500~?

All servers(dedicated servers) which is hosting got 100mb/s bandwith. That'a a huge jump from yours internet ;x

Normal internets doesnt get any ddos protection.(not all)

Oh, really? 100mb/s bandwith? Damn!

This is my speedtest result, but i'm downloading couple of things and shows now 2.83 instead of 4-5 ._.'

I can manually setup ddos protection?

In worst-case-scenario i'll need to host it while it make enough donations balance to make the project pay itself the hosting

Or invest some money for hosting, i recommend linux based servers.
You cant, DDos protection its ISP service.

Oh, damn

Thanks for the info, it's veryuseful!

You know good hostings?
I have no idea which provider may be good or the right prices rate / what kind of hosting i need to get (specs)
