Hi,

Looking at buying a server for my gaming community.

Any ideas or suggestions as to what I should be getting.

Games:
Rust - Maybe
Minecraft
Future Arma Games
Other considerations.

I do not have a clue when it comes to gaming servers. D:

What's your budget for this?

How many clients is it serving?

You'll need something like 1T
Gb/s Internet connection to serve end users, I take it that's in place?

Normally for a gaming server, you'd lease a remote server as it can be very expensive to build one as well as have the required infrastructure

£1000.00 is set aside, I can be flexible but this was basically a guess.

Ideally 60+ players.
I currently have 350Mb/s but this can also be upgraded if need be.

It's probably something outside of the realms of this forum, this is quite specialised.

There's various resources on the web to tie down the hardware you may require.

If you want to host a tournament, use modifications or create a private environment to play the game of your choice, you're limited with regular servers.

I would still suggest renting a remote server, they work out extremely cost efficient, especially for the far higher tier of hardware you get for the price
