Important USA Server Location? (1 Viewer)

[Kevin]

Ohai,

so well since i want to adopt more servers based in the USA i want to step a bit forward and get directly a dedicated box rather than always single gameservers (which cost a lot more than a dedicated server).
the only problem i currently run into is that i dont know what location i should choose for it.

i thought about maybe using Chicago/New York instead of currently Dallas

please leave me some comments in here what you think about it.

thanks

Dallas as it's pretty much the center of the US so everyone will get a good even ping through out the US plus most dedi centers in the Dallas area are very resilient to DDoS attacks on Internap networking.

I voted for Denver because that's where I am right now, but Dallas and Chicago are also OK.

ddos attacks arent really worrying me since there are on all locations specific filter rules and enough bandwith

Dallas is best choice by far

We'd recommend picking the location closet to you or closet to the area of players you're trying to target. Generally, California is for all West Coast, Chicago for central and New York for Eastern and South American and Europe.

lel so i choose frankfurt and u all rip

From Dallas everyone can get good ping

welp this seems to be quite obvious then
ip change will be required though sadly, shouldnt matter tho due to the steam gameserver account which should migrate the favorites within 1-2 days.

just letting ya peps know i've ordered the Dallas Server now and will soon start migrating the servers.

new upcoming ips:

USA Deathrun: 74.91.114.230:27015
USA Slender Fortress 2: 74.91.114.170:27015
USA Freak Fortress 2: 66.151.244.155:27015
USA Dodgeball: 66.151.244.138:27015
USA Prophunt: 74.91.126.13:27015

servers arent done yet, just got the ips already.

Prophunt server online - 74.91.126.13:27015

 

[Kevin]

Slender Fortress 2 online - 74.91.114.170:27015

 

[Kevin]

Deathrun online - 74.91.114.230:27015

 

[Kevin]

Freak Fortress 2 online - 66.151.244.155:27015

 

[Kevin]

Dodgeball online - 66.151.244.138:27015

TL;DR

all servers are migrated to the new host and on the existing server is a plugin installed which notifys the player about the new server and also redirects the existing traffic to the new servers

Are the servers up yet? because after connecting to the USA Dodgball server (original) it says go to the new IP or be kicked. Only problem with this is after attempting to connect to the new IP 4 times I still cannot connect to the server. Just wondering if the server wasn't up yet which would explain my issue.

i run into some issues, the DB Server should be up now and by connecting to the old one and pressing F3 shoudl work.
just make sure that you add the new one to your favorites.

Yes, I got it thank you so much. Although the server seem to be crashing occsionally idk if that is you, or just the server.
