What Characteristics?

[UltimaRatio]

Hello,

I have a question about server characteristics needed for fast work of my game.

What is the ideal amount of Ram/CPU/etc. for an online of 40-60/70-100 users?

There are many(quite a few) queries to the database in the game, therefore, it needs to be able to run relatively fast with an online ranging from 45 to 90 users(for now). How much would it cost/month(estimate)?

Thank you,

Oleksiy

P.S.

And also, does anybody know if someone is offering free VPS?

Re: What Characteristics?

The requirement of the server depends on the game itself. What for sure doesn't work well is a shared host. So I would start as minimum as a VPS or directly with a dedicated server if you have the budget.

However VPS normally have little ram which doesn't fit well the requirements of a database. You could check it here:

If you are looking at an online of 45-90 at one time, there really isnt going to be a free host thats going to run reasonably fast.

Re: What Characteristics?

Thank you for your responses. I guess that I shall begin with a mediocre VPS and see how it's going to work. In the beginning my target is an online of 45-90, but as it grows each day, I guess I'll go for a dedicated =)) The only problem for now is my budget.
