Me and my friends have been thinking about moving the SA-MP servers we own to a VPS.


How much bandwitch / Diskspace / Ram would it require to host one 500 slot sa-mp server?(God Father in particular)

[Mr187]

Well Godfather can eat up alot of CPU and Ram, but for diskspace its all about how many files you got, really ever user account added is like 1kb so just think million users is 100mb, not really a big deal.

if you really think your gonna have 500 users on at once well for bandwith I myself my server at a base of 50-100 players online at all times befor we would use about 500GB to 800GB a month.

Hmmm, you are the owner of PR-RP. I use to play your server and I was also an admin there, lol.



Besides that, thanks for your input.

Do NOT use linux VPSґs if youґre not experienced with it.

Код:

Linux VPS are, in wrong hands, extremely dangerous. They can easily be hacked or crapped up as youґre not able to secure them correctly. In addition, Linux is (for beginners) very difficult and youґll probably need some weeks to work into it.

I would suggest to get a Windows VPS - much safer and easier to use.

Its much better to buy a server at a host like serverFFS, they care about everything and its much easier to administrate.

We have three 50 slot servers with ServerFFS. We just thought that it would be alot easier to script player management(on website) if our server is being hosted on same VPS as our site.

mySQL should bode you well.

Don't use Virtual servers for samp servers generally, they will lag around like hell with a good gamemode, even if it's efficiently coded.

okay ima break this up.

the amount of ram you need is the amount of temporary data that your script is using,
for example if you have 100 variables you will need more ram then if you are only using 10. in my script i use a couple of thousand variables and i find that it will use around 60-100mb of ram, of course this will change with the amount of slots you have on your server, depending on your player variables, etc, etc.

the amount of cpu you need is relative to how many players you have on your server vs the ongoing processes that the script is operating. for example, if you have 3 timers for each player going off every 10 seconds that are running 3 seperate functions, it will use more cpu then if you have 1 timer for the whole server. object streamers, vehicle streamers, pickup streamers, etc, use alot of timers, so the more of those you have the more cpu you will be using.

the godfather is a rather big script, but i dought that you will ever get 500 players on it simltaneously, so for vps specs i would go for

centos 5.3
512mb-1gb of gaur. ram
1-2gb of burst ram
make sure the server your vps is on has at least a quad core processor, i know some companies like vpslink use p4 processors on theyre lower grade vps packages.

windows has alot of security holes and if your not an advanced user you WILL get owned if a problem comes along.
linux is generally more complex then windows becuase most vps you connect to via ssh (like the command prompt on windows) although there are some vps hosts which will do RDS or VDS for you which is like remote desktop on windows except on ubuntu or a similar system.

bandwith wise. anything unmetered 100mbps is best, i know a few hosts, if you cant get that just think logically.

100 players uses 4mbit upstream iirc

unmetered is better imo, just in case you get ddosed

i was running a css 32player 100T server on a vps that was situated on my friends box and it had 2 dedicated 2.7ghz cores with 2gb of ddr2 ram and it was lag free, in fact the players on it used to tell us that it ran better then other servers they were on (we averaged 16-20 and peaked 32).
