I was thinking of running any combination of css, tf2 & cod4 servers.

So I could probably get 100 player slots? over say 4 servers?

what tick?

Im only asking this as I might start a small gamehosting company. My only concern is that there so many other hosters out there.

Im not talking inx-gaming level / killercreation just me and a couple of boxes to boast my money each month.

Is it worth it? I was gonna start with that server as theres no setup and its cheap. Then see what I sell, with a view to buying a couple more boxes over time.

100 tick match server
2x 66 tick (surf + deathmatch server)
another 66 tick server hosted for someone else

If your thinking of trying to make money id stay well away. Trying to find people to buy a server off you is quite hard and when payment time is due it doesnt all go to plan.....

yeh think your right. I was talking to a GSP owner who i got to know well & he said for the level of support you have to give, the margins just aint worth the hassle.
