Selecting the right moReal game server. Selecting the right game server depending on your teams needs is an important decision, one that can sometimes cause confusion for those who are relatively new to game server rentals. Throughout this short article, I will go ahead and describe some of the differences between our server lines and hopefully make your decision an easier one. ALL valve source games run at 33 Tickrate & 64 FPS on the server side, It's first important to note that by default, all of our servers are boosted both FPS & Tickrate, therefore our entry-level Enhanced server would be on par with other companies higher end offerings. For Counter-Strike:Source we offer three product lines, the enhanced server, professional server and elite server series. Each are relatively comparable with some minor differences which are noted below, as such the options available for each server will be listed at the bottom as well as what they do.

Notes
As you can see the main difference between the servers is mostly the FPS rate, however in the case of our Elite series it's essentially a Professional series server, with all of the add-ons included free and a dedicated CPU. Our enhanced series server is aimed at teams on a budget who are seeking a high performance server and or teams that are getting their feet wet in the higher tiers of competition. The professional and elite series is aimed towards teams who are incredibly serious about competition and want the best of the best.

Add-on Descriptions

Server Type: Private,,, must have a password on the server. Public anyone can join (can be locked password protected when needed)

Server FPS: Sets the setting for fps_max to the listed settings, runs the server timer at a higher FPS which can result in more accurate information for smoother registration.

Player Quota: The maximum amount of players who will be able to join your server at the same time.

CPU Priority: Servers running at normal will receive a normal amount of processor time, however servers that have enhanced or high CPU, may in some cases get higher priority on CPU time if the server is very busy. Typically not needed as we don't overload any of our boxes.

Server Connect: By default all customers can connect to their server through IP address, however by selecting the DNS Redirect option you will be able to join by IP address and based on a chosen name for example: you.moreal.com

Source TV: Sets the maximum allowable spectators. By default all of our servers are capable of recording your matches or scrims through source TV, our professional & elite series servers allow human spectators to connect. We offer free sourceTV relays so if any team needs larger amounts of spectator capacity, it just requires a simple email or helpdesk ticket.

Server Maintenance: We have an application that runs weekly on all of our servers which will delete your log and ztmp files to help keep your server running smooth over long periods of time. This is a free add-on and all customers can select it as an option if they wish, if not selected customers will need to delete their logs and ztmp files themselves.

Dedicated Processor: On typical servers you have for instance 8 processors, all the game servers on this system share the same resources and processors. With our Elite lineup, your server will be dedicated it's own processing core thus you won't be sharing any CPU resources with other customers on the server.
