I have been looking to get a dedicated server, so that I can host a few game servers on, to possibly build up a clan/community. I have come across gamingdeluxe.co.uk who are renting out dedicated servers, one of which costs 49.99 a month. I wanted to know, how many servers can I host with these specs? I did a little research and some people who asked the same questions had the replies of "5-7" servers. I just wanted a second opinion on it.

1.8GHz CPU E4300 or AMDX4200
2GB RAM/Memory
80GB Hard Drive
Unlimited Gaming Bandwidth (guessing they mean 100Mbit)
Windows Server 2008/2003 or Linux

Depends usually on the # of slots, FPS rate, game modes they play and many other factors that can make or break the #.

What kind of game servers are you looking to host? I'd say the 5-7 is a safe # to go on.

(I used to be technical support in a game server hosting company lol )

Almost all dedicated servers nowadays use only consoles so computing power is not that important,you need ram and internet speed to run it. The server should do it fine.

BTW I am running my own servers on Sempron 1,8ghz and 768mb ram,COD6 and SAMP servers run just fine.
