EvilNightHawk3 Posted September 20, 2005 CID Share Posted September 20, 2005 I have heard that if you want to run a game server or whatever, that you need the business package. WIll they limit your bandwidth usage each month and if yes then why offer the high speeds if you can't use it all the time. If there is a limit then please post.

KingCobra Posted September 20, 2005 CID Share Posted September 20, 2005 I have heard that if you want to run a game server or whatever, that you need the business package.

I don't think they care right now about your usage. That may change over time as the number of users goes up. Regarding servers, the AUP and TOS prohibit servers but they contradict themselves by promoting gaming. I don't think they care if you setup a game server. The problem you face is naming. If you setup a server of any type on the dynamic residential connection, you'll need to use a dynamic DNS service to map your current ip address to a name you can give out. If you are serious about the server side and can afford the $99 per month business static plan, go with it. That's what I have and I can run any server I want. I have a number of services running 24x7. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilNightHawk3 Posted September 20, 2005 Author CID Share Posted September 20, 2005 Like what kind of things are you running off that 2 meg upload.? Game servers and if so then how many can you hold, lets just guess if you never maxed out before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
6arett Posted September 20, 2005 CID Share Posted September 20, 2005 If you ran a 32 Player 1.6 or Source server you'd probably max out your upload b/w. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilNightHawk3 Posted September 20, 2005 Author CID Share Posted September 20, 2005 I doubt it , that game doesn't require 2 meg up to do 32 , i would say that a 32 and a 20 would max it out and i have ran a 12 man in cs with 384 up from cable with pings all under 150.

FiosFiend Posted September 21, 2005 CID Share Posted September 21, 2005 No, there is no limit on usage. Although they make you agree not to run a server out of your house. However, my understanding is that they don't monitor this very closely. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
