Hello,
my name is Justin and im new to this thread. Recently I have had an interest in starting up a game server business and just needed some answers from you guys who know about servers more than i would. I have made my own dedicated servers on my Home Pc and they ran ok… as long as they were used for only The server. Now im wanting to branch off and get real servers but since I dont make much money Currently I am wanting to build my own servers. I have built a few PC’s and understand the general layout yet I dont know if a game servers will differ. I just need to clear up a few things below.
1. Can a game server host more than 1 game efficiently?
2. What do I and dont I need in a game server? (IE. Hardware)
3. where are some good places to start looking for those pieces of hardware?
4. would it be a good Idea to get a Business License and buy components in bulk first?
Thats all for now. Your are not obligated to tell me anything at all. Just looking for a little help in areas where I cant find help. Thank you all.
