Good afternoon AC forumers.
I wish to host an Australian based server for all the Australian players out there and I'm curious about a few things.
Where are the majority of the Australian AC players situated? You do not have to be specific, just Northen, Southern, Easten and Westen Region is fine.
I would also like suggestions for map rotates and game types and if it'll be worth it running the server 24/7 or just peak times?
Anyways if you could give me some suggestions, maybe we'll get another great public server available for the Australian/Kiwi players free from lag. :)
THANKS!

When I hosted my ausD servers, the majority were from over east and your best bet would be Sydney or Melbourne hosting mate.
24/7 hosting is good, people like Undead dont sleep.

I would have one or two 24/7 pubs, and at least one match (24/7).
AC servers don't take up too many resources, and it seems like you are thinking about buying a VPS or something, so its not a hassle at all.

That's correct, VPS based in Sydney; however bandwidth from a Sydney hosted server can be very expensive, which is my only concern.
Just out of curiosity, do you know how much one hosted server would take with regards to ram/processing power, I can't seem to find any reccomended specs for servers, While I'm certain I have ample resources, I would like to know as I could in the long run cut my costs :)
Appreciate youre replies and I'll be sure to let you guys know when I've set them up ^_^

My experience is ~25MB RAM and negligible CPU usage (~0.2% on a Xeon 3.2GHz). Bandwidth is the biggest killer. There's a chart here, which is out of date. It's thought the figures are now lower than these, but no-one's tested it.

If you want my advice, I ran a website and 3 pubs and 2 match servers (with help) off of the Essential VDSL-1 package located at http://www.exigent.com.au/hosting/vdsl-e...t-features for 25 bucks a month.

In all honesty, we need ausD back.

or you can by virpus server that are in Los Angeles and cost 4 dollars a month or 3 dollars a year. I paid 36 dollars for a whole year of vps. It was definitely worth it.

Did you have your server(s) set up right? I had almost no downtime.
