Server Choice

[Puritan]

Hello all

was just about to get my clan a game server we are a mohaa clan and when talkig to providers we have been offered 2 options a windows server or a linux server.
The wondows one is cheaper however we are not aware of benfits or weak points to each server and whether one is better than the other and why.

So plz fill us in.

ty in advance.

I've always felt linux servers run better, more efficient, but if the windows server has proper horse power, and not over loaded, it might be easier for someone to manage...especially if they do not understand Linux. If you have played a demo server, and you are happy with it, choose what you are comfortable with.

Ty for ur reply mate :-)

so does that mean there is no difference pingwise lag wise etc?

If the server has a large enough CPU, and enough RAM, It could play as smooth. WIndows has a graphical overhead that you dont' get with a linux server. the only Known windows server I've played on was a single CPU, and those are never as smooth as a dual CPU server.

What server specs are you looking at?
