    CoD2 VPS

    Hey guys

    I'm planning to rent a VPS (located in Spain) for a CoD2 server, and I want to ask you: which specs do you guys consider are OK to host a server (20-30 players)?

    Sorry if this is a noobish question, but I need to be sure before paying

    I've also seen cod2 rental servers offers in spain, but some VPS offers are quite cheaper, so they are not an option.

    Well, i've got 2GHz cpu (single core), 1G RAM, 25 GB HDD, running Arch Linux and it holds 3 servers (and 3 Nanny's) just fine. I never saw CPU load went above 30%. (2/3 servers are now 99% empty though), the only thing i sometimes pissed off with is slow HDD random access which sometimes makes the server hang for a millisecond when it tries to write a log or smth, proably should have get an SSD one but money is better . For one server proably everyting is enough but idk really lol.

    When you disable logging, all that remains is:
    - HDD size (I tweaked my install to fit inside a 2gb hdd, see some other thread i made)
    - RAM (256mb minimum, non-oversold)(so go with a kvm or xen vps)
    - CPU

    As you want to host for 20-30 players, cpu becomes an issue. Most vps providers dont take too kindly to people maxxing out a full core, and youll be looking at 50-100% of a full core. If you can find a cheap i3-based dedicated server, that would probably be better. (or try to find a vps host that allows you to use a full core, but that mostly means that others are also allowed to use a full core, making the node perform like shit)

    cod2 is not under ddos all that much, only the amplification attacks can happen. Apply mitch's latest libcod to defend yourself against that.

    Especially if your server is in a weird location (spain), barely anyone will bother to ddos you.
