As has been stated many times in these forums, it is not advisable to run with any less than 16 GB of ram with all maps up. Other than that, it should be more than enough.
i would recomended you to run in under CentOS / Red HatQuote:

If you're not planning on running every map, yes (you'll be fine). If you were planning to run every map simultaneously HRACE hit the nail right on the head (you would want NO less than 16GB, but the recommended would be 32 GB) :wink:Quote:

With the new files, i dont know. Didnt test em.
I use 12gb ram and we recently did a stress test with 1.4.4, we had all maps open with like 0.05 ram left. So...
Are you going to run 1.4.4 or 1.3.6? Big difference.
Debian works just fine for a pw server. Been running with it for like 3 years now. Ubuntu is a bit more bloated with useless stuff but it's still a debian base so it should work too. Don't forget 32bit libs if you're planning to run on a 64 bit system.
If you will be doing this long-term, I would suggest getting your own hardware (200~500USD from EBAY) and colocate it (35~50USD) than renting out a 150USD dedicated server a month.

VPS is no good, you're looking for dedicated :wink:
VPS is ok for testing. As long as there are not more than 50 players it will make no difference ( !!! If you dont get a vserver somewhere without a ficed amount of RAM and bandwith usage, then t will be no good at all if another vserver owner starts big things on his server !!! ). If you plan to have more than 50 players from the beginning directly use a real dedicated machine. Like fluxbox said, use an own PC ( I just bought a 19" Server machine in ebay for 30 €, thats ~ 40 US$ and gave it 8 gig of ram ) and look for datacenters where you can rent a place to build it in a rack. This saves a huge amount of money.

This is called co-hosting/co-location (and yes, they have it all over the place)...Quote:

Colocation Florida, Fort Lauderdale, Jacksonville, Miami, Orlando, St. Petersburg, Tallhassee, Tampa
There's just one example I found googling for it (took me 2 seconds to find) :ott1: (chances are I'm guessing they have a location somewhere near you, or ofc you can find your own as far as 'price shopping' or looking for the closest location etc)...
I live in Asia and I have a colo in Kansas. Bought my hardware from EBAY, shipped it directly to them. This is just an example, you can do this too in other countries where colo is available.Quote:
