(NFO is still a lot, i'm paying $4 for 2core 4gb for perspective)

Not true, windows srcds has small but noticeably better performance than on linux, which adds up when you're a big provider renting lots of servers (like NFO).

I'd be curious to know the specific improvements on Windows compared to Linux. However the main thing a lot of servers lack currently is better single threaded hardware. Older hosts such as NFO sell hardware that is more-so for multi-threaded applications which the majority of game servers (especially TF2) isn't built for. While at Physgun we noticed the modern Ryzens (9 7900X & 7800X3D) are more than enough to run huge servers (64+ players) on Linux with stable tickrate. (including plugins added)

#1 Physgun: TF2 server hosting for Comp/Community in TF2 General Discussion

Hey there folks, after providing Shounic with a dedicated server to run his huge 100 player TF2 server I did some research and noticed there really aren't many proper TF2 server hosts that accommodate for the setup these old source games really need.

At Physgun we provide every Team Fortress 2 server with an Overclocked Ryzen 9 7900X @ 5.6GHz - ensuring your server can run at the optimal tickrate without compromise. Every server is also protected with our Bullet Proof DDoS protection, it's an unfortunate fact but every community in their life starts struggling with DDoS attacks eventually.
We do not focus on any one group, our servers work amazingly both for competitive servers as-well as larger community servers with plugins!

Please feel free to check out the hosting: https://physgun.com/games/tf2-server-hosting

An extra added bonus with our network is that it is protected with Anycast. Have you ever noticed how Skial sits at the top of the community list with insanely low ping? We provide the same service for all of our TF2 servers, as well as our own caching solution to decrease latency even more on the server list, without any extra cost!

If you are unsure as to why you should pick Physgun over a choice such as nfo we have a laundry list of features making your life as a server owner much more enjoyable!

  • Source game servers are primarily single threaded, nfo and most other providers and most other provides their TF2 servers with Intel XEON cpus. XEON cpus are primarily suited for multi-threading, they are known to have relatively poor single threaded performance compared to the Overclocked Ryzen 9 7900X we provide with our Team Fortress 2 servers.
  • Physgun provides much better DDoS protection that filters proactively against attacks instead of pure capacity, many new attacks are smaller and more advanced to mask as legitimate traffic this goes right past most filters and takes down servers with ease.
  • No more paying for slots, this is an outdated and predatory marketing model as you can pay for a 20 slot server but you will generally have to pay extra fees for "Ultraprocessing" or "Dedicated Cores". Resources are what really matter for a game server and at Physgun you purchase the resources you use, not player slots with fees tacked on.
  • A fully featured Mod Manager, most hosts do not provide this at Physgun you get access to an amazing library of plugins ready to be installed with one-click! Anything from the RGL plugins, F2s competitive plugin list to casual plugins such as jailbreak and rtd!

...and really so much more! We list the majority of our gamepanels features here: https://physgun.com/features
We are also always opened to adding more plugins to our Mod Manager, feel free to reach out to us :)

If you have any questions feel free to reach out to us in our discord or here - we're still growing in the TF2 space so we are completely open to feedback!
