Please avoid these hosts:
Hetzner
OVH
Giga-International
Kimsufi
Server4You

I would recommend those:
WorldStream
Serverloft
SoftLayer
BlackLotus (expensive, DDOS protected)

For 1,5k slots you need to run 2 Agent server, which means you need 2 dedicated servers, or you can run a virtual machine in VMWare.

There are 2 choices:

#1:
2 physical servers

First dedicated server:
-any Xeon CPU
-8GB RAM
-SSD (60GB SSD is enough, just for SQLSERVER) + atleast 250GB storage
-OS: Server 2003 or 2008 R2 Standard
-100mbps connection

Second server:
-any Xeon CPU
-4 GB RAM
-any HDD
-OS: Server 2003 or 2008 R2 STD
-100mbps connection

#2:
One physical server + VMWare machine setup:
-any Xeon CPU
-16GB RAM
-SSD + HDD
-OS: Server 2003 or 2008 R2 STD
-100mbps connection

VMWare machine:
4GB RAM, 2 CPU cores, bridged networking mode (make sure that you have 2 IP address, and the VMWare machine have it's own IP)
Run a 2nd agent and gameserver on the VMWare machine.

Another thing is that these roots must be hosted at the same location, if you for example host the main agent in europe and the second one in USA, the delay will be kinda big and you'll have sum lag, when switching the weapons, for example.

BlackLotus is amazing,great support/ddos protection.

Another thing..DON'T USE SOFTSYS HOSTING,they will permanently shut you down on the second DDOS attempt on your server.

As for specs,you won't need more than :
-Xeon CPU
-8GB rams
-100mb connection

w.w.w.server.l.u/servers/is4k

So this should be enough ?
