Anyone here have experience setting up game servers?
 

Friend is interested in purchasing a server and colocating it to sell game server packages on, but has no idea about how to properly mod/setup a game server, as I've heard it is no easy process to maximize server performance to squeeze in as many slots as possible without creating lag... Any tips/direction/insight from those knowledgable would be much appreciated, ie information regarding colocation services, actual servers, and the whole modding process.

he will get eaten alive, anyhow there are software to do that

just a tip from a gamer, dont try to go huge. make a smaller game with no lag, and good admin and it will always stay busy
