Heya,

We recently started offering VPS servers as replacement dedis not too long ago. These have been tried and tested with renegade and several other games and we've managed to get everything running great Smile

If you want an example of a server hosted under one of our VPS's, you can join TsuGaming.com :: Nazi Zombies.

More information is here: https://www.tsulutions.com/vps.html

While the base package probably isnt enough to host some serious ren servers, all specs can be upgraded Smile

As a special promotion ALL customers who order before 1st September can use the promo code RenegadeVPS which will give you a permanent recurring 15% discount Smile

Please note that ALL servers come with a default drive of 20gb 15K rpm SCSI to ensure maximum performance Very Happy

- Hopefully see some of your soon Very Happy

-Thanks,

-Lee

vps for renegade servers?

Uhm, you do know that a renegade server almost requires the whole mother machine. If you start selling multiple VPS you will get trouble processing all the VPS. Sounds like a stupid plan to me.

In order to sell VPS servers you would atleast need a beast of a colocation. For example a quad core system with 16GB of ram.

I dont think you have that. So the only thing you are about to do is oversell and make your company look bad.

Trust me, weve researched it well.

The mother meachine is:

12GB ram
8 cores of 2.66Ghz
600 gb of 15K rpm (2 x 300gb drives)
500gb of 7k rpm

a single core with 512mb or ram would run a small renegade server easily. Bigger ones might need to upgrade to dual or tri core and mayb 1 or 2 gig of ram.

None the less, we have more than enough power so lag and overselling is not a problem Smile

EDIT: we also ahve load balanceing over hte cpu cores. So if you purcashed a single core of 2.66ghz and you useing it all at 100% usage. You would automatically get moved to your own core.

and RAM we have plenty of Smile

I hope you know that a renegade server only uses one core, no matter how many is avaliable to it.

Yes.. i know that.

But you can set affinities if you wanted to run more tahn one server within your VPS. While your system itself may only be useing one CPU.... the host Operating system (VMWare vSphere) will balance the load over multiple CPUs if needbe.

None the less, these arnt just for renegade, but they were designed so that they should be able to run renegade within a virtual environment absolutely fine. (thus the 15K rpm drives)
