You "just" need 1 Petabyte of transfer?
sorry it was a mistake. its 1,000 GB
Very probably you already looked at it, but why not a Kimsufi?
kinda impossible to get such rates in the middle east
Try Hetzner, they are in Germany.
ya true i can't but middle east network is not good for gaming. always lagging .
i am looking for Europe data centers . OVH network is fast i know.
issue i have with OVH / Kimsufi the orders take too long its been like 1 day my validation is not done yet so thats why i want to know if some one offers i go ahead and buy.
which game u going to host cod4 ?
never tried them are they good? do you have servers with them ?
yes it would be Counter STRIKE 1.6 hosting
You can rent a server at Hetzner by using the dutch auction. They are pretty reliable
ya i saw one offer for just like 26 eur but i need a IP to do a ping test and trace route to determine my pings and network reliability.
i checked a server in germany not sure their data center it was like 140 ms.
Not bad what do you think for game server having 140 ms? playable??
Hetzner's test IP is www.hetzner.de
140? I thought it is fast from Middle East to Europe...
I know that all the traffic from Saudi Arabia to Europe goes Marseille, FR. So maybe france is best.
Kimsufi... I don't know if they offer KVM over IP (IPMI)...
Try online.net's C2758? 15.99 EUR
140ms is pretty bad. Especially for Counter Strike.
How much Gameservers you wanna deploy?
at the moment just 1 but i need advice since i am in middle east. and targeting middle east users i need something near data center so that pings are less. below 100 would be better
Only place in Middle East that can fulfill some of your requirements is Turkey but you will have to increase your budget. I am not sure if any DC in Middle East offers DDoS protection but even if someone does, be ready to pay in 4 figures for a very minimal protection. The closest place for you to get a decent DDoS protected server will be Romania. Also ping a test IP from OVH Strasbourg to check if it gives you decent enough ping to play.
middle east network and datacenter price for having even cloud service is way out of my budget thats why i am checking with you guys what shall i do at this point.
Speed testing sites
OVH is proof.ovh.net
Online is ping.online.net

OVH seems better. may be less -20 ms i will be 100
Servdiscount
well for ddos i will use cloudlayyar for moment i am going for premium membership they do advance ddos mitigation
you have server with them?
If you just want to host one Counter Strike 1.6 Server...use a VPS instead with 2 vCores.
This should be enought.
I used vultr for CSGO and the perfomance was really good. Since you need ddos protection try ramnode or go to buyvm.
Just try one with a looking glass...
i have ramnode/linode/had vultr but my latency was high at that time when i checked now its back to like 114-120 range pings. like i said if possible i get closer data center near middle east that would be great. i am targeting middle east users in DUBAI so the pings should be less them 100 ms if possible
it has to be playable and lag free
What About Netherlands Location ??
I think you have to try some looking glasses....

here is my ping information. seems like Europe is better? what are your suggestion?
Use vultr and Frankfurt. This might be the best datacenter in Germany, you can try NL/FR too.
