CS(:S) and/or Unreal servers

[SkyyPunk Veteran]

My company is getting a T1 installed tomorrow, and we want to get a few more T1s and pay for this one...so we are thinking about hosting a few gaming servers for people...mainly aiming for some CS servers, CS:S servers, and Unreal 2004 servers...anything else thats big that you can suggest?

How much do you feel is a fair price for a server? Eg: clans that rent servers on a monthly basis... something like fair price for a 12 player one, 24 player setup, etc...

We probably will be running (depending on how stress tests go when we get it up) up to four or five CS servers per physical server, and as far as Unreal goes, I am not familiar with how much strain itll put on the server, so I cant judge how many of those may be on a server

Our servers are located in south eastern michigan...so it is somewhat more of a mid US server...by next week we hope to have a server up for stress testing, and I will post up the info then to have you all go at it...

i used to pay like 60 bucks a month for a 24 person public condition zero server. that included like 500mb web hosting with php support, free setup, free amx or adminmod installation, free tech support, ftp access, and psychostats. plus after like 3 months of having it i never heard one complaint about lag. everyone had a super-low ping in there...... man i miss it :'(

3.50 a slot is about a good price, its what i used to pay. web space is nice, but not something that is "needed" and psychosats is a plus, but there are places you can get that hosted for free. Just dont put tooo many servers on one machine.

alright thanks for the input :) unfortunatly SBC sent our T1 to the wrong address!! So itll be another week before we can even set up a test server :(
