The rest of this section covers installation on a Windows computer. Some hosts will let you opt to install your own licenced edition of Windows Server on your dedicated server - This is not a cheap option as Windows Server 2008/2012 is fairly expensive to licence.We recommend using 2 GHz machine, with 512 MB RAM and a 1 Mbps upload network bandwidth.ĪrmA: You need either a Microsoft Windows 2000/XP or Linux computer to run an ArmA dedicated server.Īrma 2: You need a Microsoft Windows XP/2000/Vista/2008/Seven computer to run an Arma 2 dedicated server, yet a version of Linux server is also available. With Windows you will have to pay a licencing fee to your host company, this cost varies but is usually around £/$/€ 20-40 per month ontop of your server rental cost. There have been mixed performance reports about which version is better regarding Arma hosting. Windows Server is available in two flavours that are supported by Arma3: 2008 or 2012. Linux is a free open-source operating system, Arma3 support for linux is ever-increasing, Epoch already supports Linux. Windows or Linux? - That is entirely up to you. HDD or SSD? - Either or both, it depends on what is available to you - if you run the server + redis DB from an SSD your server load times may be faster, Arma is a CPU hungry game and overall it is CPU cycles (Ghz) that effects the server most. Remember you still need space for your OS and any mods you plan on using.ġ20GB+ - SSD's are becoming more commonly available from DS companies and many people already have them in thier own dedicated servers.ġ00MBit+ - Most Dedi's come with a port speed of 1Gbit which is limited by your contract with them - 100/200/300Mbit throughput is common, 1Gbit is usually an extra cost over and above the basic rental of your dedicated server.ġTB+ / Month - Bandwidth requirement is dependant on everything you do with your dedicated server, 1TB/month is the absolute bare minimum I would recommend for running your own dedicated game server
Recommended Dedicated Server Specifications: CPU:ĥ12GB+ - Most Dedi's have 1TB+ HDD's these days, some have optional RAID. To host Arma 3 Epoch you require a dedicated server - whether you choose to rent an Arma 3 server from a Game Server Provider, rent/host your own Dedicated Server or purchase your own Dedicated Server and have it co-located is entirely up to you.Īn Arma server rented from a GSP will already have the minimum requirements, performance will be dependant on the GSP, some have better equipped servers than others.
