URGENT: RAM Issues

[Sander]

Don't think they still sell that old package we are using

But if you look @ dedicated quadcore: 2GB/€54, 8GB/€72, can't even find 16GB at this moment.
This does include 5000 GB traffic, which should be more than enough.
Note that this are pricings for new servers, and a new server would mean, except moving all the data and configurations, also getting a new IP address. Aka loosing players which we don't have, etc etc...

LeaseWeb doesn't give us an option at the website to upgrade the memory of our existing server, maybe that we (MrBondt?) could ask whether it is possible or not.

If I run LeaseWeb's Custom Built tool, and choose for a new quadcore server with 16GB memory and "only" 4000 GB traffic, the monthly costs will be € 105.- ex vat.

I "think" that we have more then enough datatraffic tho Always lost at the admin panel, but we are not even close to our limit

I’d say 8gb would be fine for now. Maybe someone with the account information could sent them an email to see if it is possible to upgrade the current server?

[Sander]

Contacted LW support, we can not upgrade the memory since this is a pre-configured server, and not a 'custom built' (Based upon their pre-defined options, that is..)

The only option to upgrade is using a custom built server already... which is not the case.
I'm afraid that LeaseWeb can't help us in this case, every option will be expensive.

[4:07 PM] p.carter: hi
[4:07 PM] Sander Rutten: Hello
[4:08 PM] Sander Rutten: What are the possibilities if we want a memory upgrade for an existing dedicated server?
[4:09 PM] p.carter: is it a pre-configured server?
[4:09 PM] Sander Ru tten: Yes, it is
[4:10 PM] Sander Rutten: We are currently using 4GB, and we would like to have at least 8 if possible
[4:11 PM] p.carter: that is not possible with pre-configured, I am afrad
[4:11 PM] p.carter: *afraid
[4:11 PM] p.carter: only with custom built
[4:12 PM] Sander R utten: Okay, thank you for your answer.
[4:13 PM] p.carter: you can perhaps cancel your current server
[4:13 PM] p.carter: and purchase a new one with a higher spec
[4:13 PM] p.carter: ?
[4:14 PM] Sander Rutten: In theory, yes, but that will cost a lot more per month than the current server (50 euros vs 72 euro's)
[4:15 PM] p.carter: you could also consider a custom built
[4:15 PM] p.carter: they are upgradable
[4:15 PM] Sander Rutten: We have to reconcider that, if we want that. Since it is a gameserver which doesn't make any profits, it's hard to have such a price increase
[4:17 PM] Sander Rutten: Yes, I did check the custom built's already, the price will still increase a lot, for us anyway. We have to reconsider this. Thank you!
[4:18 PM] p.carter: how much are you spending now?
[4:18 PM] p.carter: how about premium cloud / cloud?
[4:18 PM] p.carter: http://www.leaseweb.com/en/vps/premium-cloud
[4:19 PM] p.carter: http://www.leaseweb.com/en/vps/express-cloud
[4:19 PM] Sander Rutten: Not an option if I see 4GB will cost 129 euro's per month.
[4:20 PM] p.carter: I see
[4:21 PM] p.carter: that s not an option
[4:22 PM] Sander Rutten: Not realy Would mean double costs. < /td>
[4:22 PM] Sander Rutten: Okay, I have enough information for now, need to discus this with other people first.
[4:22 PM] Sander Rutten: Thanks and goodbye!

Hmm, this is too bad. There is definitely a price increase between the pre-configured and custom built . I put one together @ leaseweb for the hell of it and came up with €95,20 for a quad core and 8gb of RAM, including VAT. It was only an extra 8 euros for 16gb of ram. But yeah, the current price of €53(?) per month, to €95,20 isn’t really feasible with the current income I suppose.

Unless I win the lottery

[MrBondt]

That's not really good either..

What does the CoD4 server use? It's barely ever being used. And when it is used, people don't play very long. Maybe that can be terminated (MrBondt?)?

Well, the CoD4 server doesn't use much:

Code:

total           372604K

But when I looked a bit further, I was shocked at the usage of the CoD bots:

Code:

total          1313348K

Clearly a nice memory leak there.

Anyway, we should be able to win a bit by terminating the CoD4 server, which I don't mind.

win win win

I'm happy to report that I've bumped to memory limit to 2048 MB. Enjoy.
