How to Host more than one Server in 1 PC :-
1. You need a very fast computer for Hosting / Creating Many Counter Strike Server.Many Server Hosting companies are using this technique.2. Don't use high configuration Windows OS in the PC like Windows Vista , 7 or 8. Even i am not recommending Windows XP.
3. Use Windows 9X , Windows NT, or Windows 2000.
4. Now you have to check the ISP and Uploading Speed for checking No. of Server / No. of Players.
From Here :
128k uplink = 4 players
256k uplink = 7 players
320k uplink = 9 players
512k uplink = 14 players
768k uplink = 21 players
1024k uplink = 28 player
1140k uplink = 32 players (max for HLDS) (21 players for CS:S)
1708k uplink = 32 players for CS:S (max)
So for this Go to the speedtest.net and Calculate the max no player can be Hosted.
5. Divide the players in such a way that when all of them added should give you the total player capacity of your server. eg- If you have total of 24 player capacity then you can have several servers running with different configuration like
a) Two Servers of 12 players capacity each so that 12+12 =24.
b)One 4 players capacity, Second 12 player capacity, third 8 player capacity .. so that 4+12+8 = 24.
6.These are the most important Settings that you must configure properly for your server:
(i) sv_maxrate
(ii) sv_minrate
(iii) sv_maxupdaterate
(iv) sv_voicecodec voice_speex
(v) sv_voiceenable 0
(vi) sv_voicequality 2
Do not enable "sv_voiceenable 1" because its causes Lag and Loss.
Configure these setting by this Equation :-
sv_minrate = 0 (always).
sv_maxupdaterate = sv_maxrate/300.
sv_maxrate =125 x uploadspeed / Numbers of player on Server.
7. Now the most important thing to create Multiple Server :- 1st you have to launch the Server in Console Mode.
(a) Go to the main Folder of Server / Counter Strike 1.6.
(b) Right click on hlds.exe and create shortcut on Desktop.
(c) Right click on that Shortcut on desktop and add these words in Target Area and save.
-console -game cstrike +sys_ticrate 1000 +heapsize 250000 +maxplayers 14 +map de_nuke -port 27015
Configure Maximum Players, Map, Port.
(d) Double click on it to launch the Server.
(e) After launch the server, Right chick on hlds.exe and Change the Port (-port <XXXX>) then Save and Launch Again and Again.
**You can use different Directory For Different Server if you r a Service Provider.
