Hi,
I am interested in setting up a dedicated game server box that will be hosted from a data centre.
I am experienced in working in a Windows enviroment but i need the box to be LINUX. (this is new to me, but am a quick learner ;) )
Now what i was hoping was that someone from this forum could help me understand what is going to be needed.
At this moment in time, my box spec will be something similiar to this:
RAID 1
P4 2.8
1gb ram
120gb HD
10/100 NIC Card
Redhat
Plesk 7
but am thinking of going:
P4 3-GHz
1gb ram
120gb HD
10/100 NIC Card
running in hyperthreading mode
Redhat
Plesk 7
This configuration seems to be able to handle any game hosted to date.
So heres what i would like help on,
I've heard that cPanel is tweakable were Plesk is not, you can only do whats on offer with plesk. How much £ am i looking at for cPanel?
I am new to linux as i stated above, so all info on how/what am going to need to do to setup this box up would be appreciated alot.
Guides/tutorials all welcome, as much info as possible is needed.
Thanks in advance,
Phil...
