Linux Small question about hosting

[Glecko]

Hello fellow otlanders
In a near future I am going to be hosting a new server.
For that I am going to be using a dedicated server which has Linux installed and 2 GB RAM.
I'd like the server to be able to handle a hundred players without problems, and I don't know if it's enough. If it's not, could you tell me if there are ways of improving the server's memory usage without buying a new PC?

Thank you in advance!

well first of all 2GB you won't run 50 player's maximun 80 player's.
Yh you can allways buy new memory for the PC, buy first of all you need to see what's the maxium of memory your
motherboard can handle then check what memory's are the right ones for your motherboard.

Hope that help's you!!

Good Luck with you server

if your using a dedicated server u can pay a extra amount and get more ram

this is from guides on otland
small map (custom map) 30 mb 2gb ram should work up
real tibia map 100+MB u want minium of 8GB ram for the server

also look at ur upload speed u want something around 50mbps and up for a small ot just starting 10mbps will work until 100 players or so depending onur content

that is depends on how your map though ...

a server with 2 GB of RAM will support 100 players but with lag.

Well, it's a custom map, about 30 MB large.
Upload speed shouldn't be a problem, since it's using a private gateway of a company's internet connection.

Do you know how I could check that? I already inserted 1 extra GB RAM into the computer (2 slots of 512mb), but the computer has no more slots, and I haven't found any others RAMs that fit the slot (just had 512's and 2gb's)

Well i looked up for a tutorial to show you how to check. If you read the full post and then do all the step's that is ask you, you should be able to check.

Here

There's an another way but i could't find the program that i used to check my one. So guess that's the best way i could help you with. (Y)

Hope you will find what you looking for

Thank you!
One last question, what maximum amount of players should my server be able to hold with those 2 GB RAM? (Map is 30 MB large, and the scripts are working properly and short)

Lets supose upload speed isn't a problem (It's a company's internet so that should be no problem)
