I'm thinking of running multiple processes on a VPS, but I don't know how much RAM and bandwidth all of it will use.

*Teamspeak server running with 5 users 24/7
*Webserver running some forum software 24/7
*Medium optimized samp server with 50 players 24/7

Help would be appreciated!

[Scenario]

I'd have at least a gigabyte of RAM if I were you. In terms of bandwidth, I'd say like 5TB, maybe 10TB if you really have 50 players online 24/7.

Alright, thanks, but damn, it uses that much?

How many players could 300GB of bandwidth a month hold? I know it's shit, I'll try to find some unmetered VPS's.

[Scenario]

I use a lot of bandwidth and I have two SA:MP servers running constantly (sometimes with players, sometimes without - testing stages), a TS3 server and a ton of different websites on my dedicated server. I think we get like 5TB a month before the connection goes from 100mbps to 10mbps. Although, I'm not exactly sure if we hit that or not to be honest.

There's a way to calculate how much bandwidth a SA:MP server uses, but I'm not quite sure what the numbers are. I think Vince knows. Maybe you could PM him and ask?

[Snipa]

Yikes, alright. I'll check with him.

I have PMs disabled for non-contacts otherwise people just constantly bug me about their vague scripting problems. Anyway, as per the wiki, the server uses an average upstream of 4 megabits, per 100 players, per second.

So, 4 * 60 * 60 * 24 * 31 = 10713600 megabits per month = 10.22 Terabits per month (1.28 terabyte). That, of course, is assuming that you have 100 players online 24/7.

I don't know if Realcop above is referring to terabits or terabytes. Both are very different.

[Scenario]

I was referring to terabytes, but clearly I have no idea what I'm talking about then.

Thanks for the good information though Vince, this makes much more sense to me now. Could you explain the calculation you did and how you came up with the numbers 60, 24, and 31?

[iTorran]

I would assume it was
60 minutes in an hour
24 hours in a day
31 days in a month

[Scenario]

Oh, right, duh!

There are two 60's, though. What's the first one for?
