I emailed Clanservers.com and asked them they said 750 GB bandwith for a CZ server 32 slot server full all the time. a CZ Server with 10 player slot takes 200 GB bandwith a month that is always full. This is for Counter Strike

Heres some basic info for people interested in game servers.

This is just for personal expierience and may vary with other people. Also, this is total cpu usage, not just on one virtual cpu.

I have a dedicated box with someone else, but as some basic input.

i have 2000Gig bandwidth each month and i run :-

6 UT99 servers - 2 of which are full most of the time
2 UT2K4 - 1 with the invasion mod -full most of time
1 with Onslaught - half full most of time
1 AA server - not very heavily used

all this and i'm well under my 2000 GIG allocation, i have been told that i will run out of resources before i will run out of bandwidth, which i think is true as my memory allocation for the servers is now used up. :P

How much Ram you have now?

Yes you most likely would, have you consider having more then 2 gigs say maybe 3 or 4 gigs of ram

i have currently 2 gigs and this is perfect for my requirements, but the CPU usage is as much as i would wanna push it due to any of the servers having an increase in traffic.
