My clan had a server with UK Training Camp for quite some time, they're resellers and not a particularly big company but service seems good and you get as much power as you like over your server.

ticks are little insects.
The higher the tick, the more times the server refreshes, or something along those lines, so it's better to have a higher tick server to give better registry etc, though it needs more power.Zip said:How much will that cost?
BTW whats tick meen?
Rackage seem to be selling a lot of servers and the ones I've been on have been lag free.

The higher the tick the bigger the cpu useage and the more bandwidth needed.
My 11 man 100 tick server uses more cpu than my 16 man 66 tick server.
66 tick is the best tick to used when having a public server, 100 tick is best for match servers.

me and my Clan had a server with http://www.game2xs.com/
good because it doesnt matter what game you wanted to play because you could swap the server over. lots of config options good bandwidth and stuff. id defiantly recommended them.

I pay 15quid a month for a 16man 100tick public.
How many mates of you are there? Tbh only reason to buy a server is if your filthy rich and dont mind spending the money per moneth, or in a clan.
Add me on xfire/msn if ya wanna chat about it

as said before, gameservers are probably the cheapest. We caught a deal with them once, was something like $25 a month for a 16man 66tick.
You've goto think about it more than somewhere to play css. Do you know how to admin a server? Experience? Cany ou afford it every month, cant you just play somewhere else and be regulars and probably get admin rights to help maintain the server andacknowledgement from there?

Well at the moment theres about 5 of us from college all willing to pay an equal share, we are a clan but nothing serious really, thats why we're going public
Talking for all of us, i think we're happy to spend anything upto £25 for the initial purchase.. need to speak to them though
Just getting an idea of prices and places to go

if you happen to have a 100mbit line running through your house, then yeah. really though, even if you did physically have your own server, a normal connection would be good for about 5 players.G-MAN2004 said:Ahh so say I actually owned my own server then I could use that option?

dustworld.net or .co.uk seem to have really good customer service and good public servers.
Whatever you do, dont buy a server from a new company as a lot of them seem to die quickly ive noticed, and make sure you can try one out both by using their public one and see if they offer a trial for 2hours on a private server, get 10 people on it and play a game, see if anything happens.
Also ask what FPS and tickrate the server is using, the new dustworld ones use 1000fps which is THE best you can get at the moment, but i think 5-700 is decent and you want as high a tickrate as possible
