Thank you Freeborne, that is very helfpful. To be honest it looks like I will be able to host a NZ server (or two!) if I can limit the max ping to 100~ms to limit players to the NZ locale only. Now if I could only get word on if this would be ok...
I meant data rather than bandwidth, long day, however that's some great info. Unfortunately that make it one very very expensive server that would cost more than my salary. Sad.
Hi all, I am able to get dedicated hosting very cheap, provided by my Employers. Dedicated CPU and all that jazz is not a problem. Only Bandwidth. I need to ascertain how much bandwidth I will be using to see if this is affordable. My questions are: 1. How much bandwidth is used per month contacting the main ARMA server? 2. What is the lowest Max Ping setting I could implement? If I can limit traffic to National traffic (here in NZ) via max ping settings then it is close to free and I can provide another server to the meager list. If I have to use 2~TBs of International traffic then I am left with a bill in the thousands of dollars.. Any info would be much appreciated. And yes I have gone through all the Server FAQs and searched the forums. Thanks again. Bumping as required.
