Do you think I could rent a nice dedicated server, around the price of $80.00, that can host 75-100 slots total? It doesn't have to come with TCAdmin, but I prefer it would.
-Shit, can a mod please move this to the Server Hosting section, my bad.
No.
Sorry but a dedi server that cheap won't host very well (unless your bangin the owner of the box :P)
Alright, I can do $150 dollars a month, will that get me anything close?
$115 is closer to the mark.

They're far from perfect, but good budget boxes.
150 dollars is enough to host around 150 - 200 slots.

All of those are US, therefore "everywhere else" is an invalid statement.

I only need one that hosts 75-100 slots, so how much would that cost?
How many servers do you want to host on it?
Uh, probably 3 or 4.
For that amount of servers I would possibly say, low end quad core Q8*** Series possibly or maybe stretch it on a high end dual core. Also are you looking for UK/Europe or USA Hosting.
[QUOTE=iThermal;22273691]Uh, probably 3 or 4.[/QUOTE]
As Shepsie says, what you want is a low end quad. One thread for each server, 2.6 to 2.8Ghz per thread should do fine. Around 4GB RAM as well, and a 50mbps port or above.

USA hosting.
You're not going to find a dedicated server for $80.00 with the amount of monthly transfer 100 slots will need. Even assuming you lower the rates to 20KB/s per person, that's still 2000KB/s bandwidth. A constant 2000KB/s for the entire month will bring the monthly transfer up to 5TB - and this is assuming your not going to host ANYTHING else on the box.
Yes, obviously it likely wont be full all the time. But even if it was 3TB monthly transfer, not many places supply it by default (you have to purchase more at a set cost usually).
You're looking at around $100.00-$130.00 for the server itself and then $20-$100 per 1TB additional transfer every month after the included monthly transfer - and this does not include over charges if you don't purchase in advance.
If you don't mind increasing your cost, the following providers are decent:
[url]http://softlayer.com/[/url]
[url]http://www.100tb.com/[/url]
[url]http://joesdatacenter.com/[/url] - This one I'm trying to decide if I should add it. When I was with them it was decent, but not something I would use for priority stuff. I heard they added in another carrier though so who knows, it might be fine now. Either way the default monthly transfer with joe is below your requirements.
I would also list limestonenetworks, but they have never once replied to any of the abuse reports I've emailed them, so I will never publicly advertise them.

I'm sure by now you've realized you can't get a decent dedicated server (for how many slots your looking to host) for $80 per month.
Why not just use a GSP?. Yesterday Xenon Servers had a sale - 45 slot server for a full year, $100 one time.
Use a GSP unless your current community actually requires a dedicated, which almost none do on Garry's Mod. Once you reach the point where you require a dedicated server you should be getting enough in donations to cover the cost.
If your not, then in general you don't need one.

How much extra does it cost per TB.
Im not sure if its different in the USA but in the UK with my host [url]http://www.rapidswitch.com/[/url] you get 3TB on co-location and 5TB on rented dedicated servers. I actually get 1TB extra for no charge as they had a downtime for which I complained about.

Not to go off topic but, most company's reserve the right to about some many hours.
Also this is a steal.

That is not a great deal, the processor is aging and I'm almost positive they are a reseller.

Hetzner is awesome. Not only do they boast amazing prices, but the network is frankly one of the best I've used. We're able to push our full 100mbit round the clock.
[QUOTE=culexor;22404255]So that's why fanaticalVPS is so damn cheap...[/QUOTE]
Well, it's one of the reasons ;)
Your server will never get players with a poor quality box. ZS is a hard gamemode to get popular in, you need a well modified gamemode and a good quality box.
tl;dr: The only unmodified popular ZS server is popular because it is cracked.
[QUOTE=Justice;22411446]Similar question, what could I use to host a 16 slot Sandbox and a 30-35 slot server with varying gamemode choices (thinking maybe Zombie Survival)? I like my GSP but it seems a bit too laggy right now hosting our Sandbox. Might put another server alongside the Sandbox like Chimera Hunt which isn't too intensive. Right now I'm looking at SingleHop and ColoCrossing but I really don't want to pay too much out of my pocket and most of the people that frequent my server tend to be scant on donation money. ColoCrossing's seems to be a really good deal, 129.99$ a month for an AMD x2 4450e, 4 GB RAM, and 4 TB transfer.
The only reason I'm really considering this is because the pings dance from 60-100 with barely any props spawned and we usually feel lag when there's only one or two contraptions spawned and it's kind of annoying for us (not to mention it shoots to 200-300 if we start to really use it.) Most likely I'm not going to do anything but it'd be nice to know my options for the future. If anything, I'll probably just buy another server for ZS and deal with the rather shaky pings.[/QUOTE]
Ewww, cache is way too small for any kind of physics hosting.
I mean yeah, you could [i]try[/i] it if you wanted to, but get something at least a little bit better..
[editline]03:16AM[/editline]
For the lag you currently have; if your getting pings of 300 with properly optimized contraptions, your host is likely overselling and shoved you on a CPU core with around 20 other people.
Heyy!!!!! get a very high perfomance server for only around $100! quad core 4g DDR3 ram and 250gb Hard drive!!! most dedicated server hosts only do DDR2 or even DDR ram but these guys are great!!
