Budget: $50/60 - (£40-50) I am currently based in the UK.
Billing Period: Monthly.

    Recommend @Clouvider for a dedi but not sure on their availability of something of that spec? Their VPS are good too but won't be i3 spec.

    That is fine, thank you for the recommendation. I will be sure to check out the plans they offer.

    You can get an i7 in that budget from Hetzners auction too if you wanted something with more "desktop" hardware and dedicated. Would be EU though not UK.

  • ExtraVM - Don't know about extra IPs tho.
    HostDoc - In addition to their website, also check the Flash Sales offers.

  • @Zare has great deals in the UK as well, along with their amazing network mix.

    I checked them out eariler today and the prices are reasonable, most of my player base would be related to the EU & UK so that is perfect.

    We do VDS on our gaming brand - https://nitrous-networks.com/virtual-dedicated-servers

    What current CPU do you provide with these plans ?

    Thanks for the recommendation, I have checked Zare a few times before, and the network locations are great for what I need.

    My London servers use i7-7700K, IPs are normally limited to 2 per server but if you just need 3 I could do it.

    i suggest you go for zare or ExtraVM for gaming. Never bother to go for a VPS since what you want is a dedicated resource.

    EDIT: VDS is what you want.

  • We have an i7-6700k in Germany that could fit your needs. Check this thread for our latest offers which will be added to LET shortly.

    3vCores @ 4.0Ghz
    2GB RAM
    30GB SSD
    Unlimited BW @ 1gbps
    £3.49/m | £38/y

    Additional RAM can be added for £1.49/GB

    We also have E2136 NVMe in UK and France.
    We offer up to 6 IPs per instance after which justification will need to be provided.

    True, I am currently attempting to test a VPS to see if it suites my needs.

  • @Laton if you plan to only have garry's mod you won't need a dedi. I had a TTT server on a vps 2.1GHz with around 16-20 players on it. The game barely needed any resources.
    The offer @HostDoc wrote in here seems fine tho you may want to have 3GB Ram if you plan to run 3 Servers at once just to be sure. Some maps/additional mods can eat up some more Ram from what I can remember.

  • I send you a pm, hope that's ok :)

    Thank you for the information, I currently have a game shared hosting plan, and only use 400-500 MB on idle.

    Edit; For 1 current server, but can reach up to 1Gbit.

  • Keep in mind I'm pretty sure these are single threaded so high clock rate is better. Source games don't use much resources though.

    You have no idea.. if its modded, it will be cancer to run.

    I've ran 90 player darkrps, wasn't that bad.

    Thats Gmod, not cs:s or cs:go, or l4d2 any one of those latters can take a lot of RAM and get a single core to constant 100% easily with right configuration.

    Its not the players that lag neccessarily but the AI, map effects and especially the entities and mods.

    I've ran every single types of these servers, css takes even less, l4d2 is minimal due to player count, and Cs:go takes about the same if not less because Gmod servers usually have way too much shit on it and more players.

    None of these games take very much resources, just have a high clock cpu, ddos protection, an SSD, and some ram.

    CS:S/CS:GO Zombie escape servers take quite a lot of resources at 64 slots, especially with additional mods.

    Vanilla L4D2 server takes nothing, but try to run heavily modded 24-32 slots coop/versus with close to 2000 entities and hundreds of zombies. Source engine is very unoptimized unfortunately, so you need a dedicated core and few gigs of RAM at least.

    Not neccessarily a dedi, but many providers would suspend you due to CPU being close to or at 100% 24/7 on more popular servers.

    I mean the entire point I was making is just focused on a high clock cpu that's dedicated and that's the majority of the battle.

    Yeah, I have been doing a bit on research and source games are not really intensive, unless you throw everything at it, which won't happen.

    High clock rate is key with GoldSrc and Source games as they are primary single threaded.

    Memory 100-200 mb for GoldSrc ..512 mb to 1 gb for Source games this is for 32 player and under

    Started running dedicated half life deathmatch servers shortly after half life came out Nov 1998 on a Pentium 233 mmx... Getting the Voodoo 3dfx 4meg addon card was the ticket back then.

    Look at your upstream connections (network provider) and location as latency is a big part of the game experience. If your on a shit network its not going matter if you have the ultimate best highest clocked server.

    Running a game server on a VDS also adds additional layer of contention with the hypervisor on the node, I have always had the best experience on bare metal under a windows environment
