If they run on the same physical server, yes, there is a good chance.

If your fastdl has like e.g. 500 files the user needs to download when joining, your user will be "hammering" the fastdl all those 500 times to get each file, which would eventually cause lag issues in game, when the game server runs on the same physical machine.

Multiple users at the same time will make the issue even worse.

SourceBans pages on same machine shouldn't have the same kind of negative effect, although it can still affect it, e.g. if your SourceBans installation has quite a few views.


Should you make 100% sure nothing affects anything else but itself, you would do like:

Server 1: SQL database
Server 2: Web server
Server 3, 4, 5, 6, [... how many you need ...]: Game server(s)

But that can feel expensive for some, ... so separating the sv_downloadurl alone would be a huge step forward!

Server 1: Web server(fast dl, need to dowload around 150mb)
Server 2: Srcds
Server has 1 core Intel® Xeon® E5-2630 v3 or E5-2620 v3, 1 GB DDR4 2133 Mhz and 600mbps connection.

will it enough to handle it ? ?

Since you are mentioning 1 core, but referring to 6 and 8 core CPU's, I believe you are looking at a VPS?

For the web services (e.g. SourceBans, and fastdl thing), it will should do just fine; however, since you are simple having a slice; you may experience it being very fast right now, but in 5 minutes totally slow due to other customers on the same physical machine.

Look at the VPS as a pizza, - with a VPS, you're simply getting a pizza slice, not the full pizza. Others on the same physical "pizza" WILL affect your services negatively, not just with one - but generally with all providers. If the provider has capacity for 8 pizza slices, they are literally selling 16 pizza slices.

People on the other slices are running their things, then they are running their backups, etc., all of which will cause hiccups on your SRCDS.

You haven't yet mentioned anything about what game, tickrate, player slots, etc., so it is hard to get any further there:

Go with a dedicated server for SRCDS, CPU clock frequency 3.5 GHz or above. 4 GB RAM or above.

You won't ever get anything that runs smoothly with just a single $5 bill.

i was talking about vds and going to 32 players 64 tickrate server.

also think about opening a little website from same provider and thought about using fast dl on it( if it possible) but probably will have problem with traffic.Never opened a website before, i am newbie.
