We need a server, any ideas?

The Problem

We have a clan called Pixel Attack and are looking for a server to play our games only. We have less than 10 members at the moment but hopefully that will expland to around 20.

Were situated in UK so a server with a decent ping would be ideal and it needs to hold at least 16 players (preferbly 20).

Our budget isnt huge so does anyone know where we can get a nice cheap server to meet our needs above.

Team speak is not needed but if its free, what the hell!

Hrmm im not sure on pricings, but i would say Intel Xeon or an AMD Opteron. 2GB of RAM, 2x 80GB (or 2x 32GB/74Gb Raptors) HDD's for starters, not sure wot other stuff you would need, im not that into server tech.

BTW welcome to the forums! :hi:

Are you looking to rent a server, or build your own?

www.jolt.co.uk have served me/us well in the past, we have tried cheaper providers and have been less than satisfied (when we kept cs server(s)), although i havent looked around recently. Jolt also let you split payments between your clan which is also nice.
Cheap providers are great if you get a good ping but problems take forever to get fixed which inevitably leads regulars to find a new home.

We want to rent a server!

£35 is the cheapest I have seen so far from multiplay.
