Question for Server Admins...How much bandwith usage/month?


(MEGAgatchaman) #1

So we are working on getting an ET server co-located and I’m wondering how much bandwidth usage a 20 player server will require per month?

Current plans are for a 200gb transfer package per month. We also plan to host two small websites on the server.

Anyone think this amt of transfer is insufficient? Can anybody tell me how much bandwidth a 20 player server consumes during a month?

Any help greatly appreciated!

If the server stays busy all the time, I doubt 200 gb will be sufficient. It will be close, but there is a good chance you will go over.

Our well frequented 16 Player Server (sv_maxrate at 12000) takes about 6 Gb per day.

Can anybody recommend a good colo server host that takes towers?

Looking to have my server hosted. Web, mail, mySql and Enemy Territory.

Server is a Dell tower. The provider I was looking to use to host it is…

https://www.servermatrix.com/solutions/colo.html

They come highly recommended and are the host for hardocp!

Their price however is somewhat higher. Can anybody recommend someone else?

Thanks again!

Wow, that is pretty expensive for what u get. This is the service I use, www.rackshack.net. They provide everything and you get complete control. No need to use your own server.

Thanks for the info ND. I’m considering Rackshack after seeing that. Any way I can get you a referral bonus? Didn’t see one listed.

Can anybody else recommend a good host for ET and Web services?
