If that's too much, then for £5 + PP + VAT then we can have a machine with 128mb ram, but I don't think that would allow as many players to connect (much of it would be the OS's usage or the game itself, rather than players). The ping time will be given at the end, it will be a value in milliseconds (ms). If you don't know what that is, go Start -> (run if on XP) -> 'cmd' then type 'ping ' and hit enter.
That server would accommodate at least 16 to 24 people, at a guess (I don't know the precise requirements but I can experiment in a VM if anyone's up to test it).ĭatacentre would be Blue Square Maidenhead (UK) - see what your ping time to is if you're interested.
That's around 6 people committed to $5 a month. If we can get £13/month plus PP fees plus VAT, ($30?) then we can have a VPS with 384mb ram and more than enough resources to play any Valve game 24/7.
