Yes that box should be ok handling those servers
No you do not have enough bandwidth to cover them all being full for very
long

Naw, its more like you get full access to the parking deck with space
for 10K cars for a few month long "party" for your guests where they
just have to show they are with you andy they get to park all night.
Now they don't want to go out of business so they say you may not have a
total of over 500 cars parked overnight total.each month  (ie 10 cars
for 2 days is 20 total cars overnight)
You get a BIG room that can hold 100 people for the party but only 7
show up for a few months, I know its sad. For those months the garage
records 350 car nights and you are ok.
Now 100 people come each day some month because they heard you were
having free strippers and after 5 days the garage stops letting your
people in because you have over used the 500 total car nights limit.
OR
The garage keeps letting people in for your party but you get 10 times
the bill because you are overusing their lot.

now the garage owner comes after you and breaks your knee caps for
collateral until you pay up.

then he starts kidnapping people you knee to show he is serious

then he starts removing body parts until you die or pay

wouldn't it have been better to just to sign up for 3K total car nights,
or just reserve 100 spots for your "party"?

I'll make you a comparison to understand what we and you are talking
about:

You park you car (your server) on the 1st of a month in a parking
garage (Hosting Company). For 40$ you can park you car there for up to
8 days (500GB). At the end of the month you come back to fetch your
car. You drive to the exit, but it won't open. So you go to the
counter and ask what's wrong. He then tells you that you parked longer
than you ordered and you will have to repay. You say "Ok" and he
offers you the bill. 400$ and you freak out.

I don't think this guy has any business running a server.

It's okay to be wrong.

It's not okay to be wrong then ignore what everyone is telling him.

It's like going to someone and telling them, the sun rises in the east,
and
they are convinced it rises in the west.

And then when you point east during a sunrise show them the sun is
rising in
the east, they still tell you the sun rises in the west.

DontWannaName, cram as many instances of srcds as you can. Then try to
get
them all full, the sooner you do that, the sooner you learn what
bandwidth
is all about when you receive a nice astronomical bill from your host.

I don't think this guy understands the idea of "Metered Bandwidth" ;-)

I dont think I can run out of bandwidth. My server restarts every night.
My
servers are 72.37.237.195 thru 72.37.237.199 if it helps.

Well, if you just want to know how many servers you can run, probably 4
to 5
instances of srcds.

But if you succeed and get full servers, you can run them for about 5-6
days
before you run out of bandwidth.

I do ~500GB in 10 days, and that's with a 24, a 16, and a 30 player TF2
server.

Nope, ThePlanet is based out of Dallas, TX and Houston, TX. However,
ServerBeach has a data center in Los Angeles, CA and they offer 2000GB
of
data transfer per month. ;)

month


of


transfer. Dude you need to go with a better hoster, swap to the
planet....
