Idk i have never bought a server before and for this server what can i get as like how many tf2 game servers with 32 slots can i have with this server becuase i was looking at it and i said it lokk awesome but the low fsb would effect it or that it having ddr would make it run slower so can i get some help and someone tell me how good/bad this would run.

Yea, that is not something you want to order. Try to stick with 1U servers as it will cost you 3x less to colocate.

derek does not have solid info when it comes to actually having a server colocated. he rents his servers from data centers and does not control the hardware.

We own every single piece of hardware that we use for game servers. When you are looking to colocate servers you will be paying per the U, hence if you buy a 4U server you will end up paying more to colocate that server. I hope this helps.

if you own all your hardware then why are your reselling servers from ubiquityservers.com?

btw a 4u is only $40 more to colocate then a 1u at some places. one of which is http://www.ubiquityservers.com/colocation/seattle.php

Yes, it will cost an extra $40 but it will also cost you more as it will use more amps (that server at least).

You pay for space, bandwidth, and power usage in a datacenter since thats what the server uses and what the datacenter provides. For every 4U they could have 4 1Us which is a lot more efficient and possibly allows the datacenter to make more money.
