Choosing the right dedicated server

[devphoenix21]

What matters in dedicated servers?
Does harddrive speed matter?
Does Ram Matter?
Does Processor matter?
Truth is all of these matter.

and I personally believe a good company is serverloft im going to be using there 120 dollar dedi as an example with 1 solid state and 2 normal 500 hdd's

How would you configure this well first of all i would install all programs onto the main hd with the OS. then i would proceed to put server files and webserver on one drive considering the fact that the i/o needed to run dekaron is low at that point i would install my databases on the ssd making it superiorly fast another GREAT idea is to purchase webhosting instead of using the harddrive for it besides of course your register page and what not webhosting should lower the load and in total decrease ms. Good luck to anyone anyone having questions post below or pm me thanks

edit: forgot to include about processor as 911hacker said its correct the server files that most use were developed for single core purposes considering back then their were mainly single cores... i believe i know a application that makes programs multi core capable.

I'd say the biggest factor is CPU. When you have a lot of players using skills and such, usually in events, the server uses a lot of cpu usage. And most DekaronServer.exe's aren't multi-core capable, therefore in a quad core server, only 25% usage maximum can be used by the DekaronServer.exe. Ram is important to, but you don't really need 16GB if your only hosting one shard.

The most important factor is PRICE. You can get the server you need for $150 there when you can get the same thing for $50 here. You want cheap good game servers. Try .

This is why you split up the affinity and give dekaronserver.exe its very own dedicated core.

They don't offer anything with Windows or an OS the server can run on.

And I did split up affinity via task manager it didn't do much. You can give it its own core but its going to always hit its limit, spit out errors, then crash if you processor isn't good enough.

Speaking of that link and 911's suggestion. If it doesn't have windows, it doesn't have dekaron. (I may very well be wrong, but that's how it appears to me so far)
