Industrial grade gaming server

[zackjohnsonmw3]

Hi I am looking to find out what is the price to build a data server and what is needed. It must be able to run for an entire community .(city or small town)

that is super vague, please edit in what the usecase for the server is. 

 

a simple Game server can be a 50$ laptop.......

I don't think the question is wrong. The explaination of what type of server you want however is wrong.

From my understanding the title says "Game Server" then it goes to data server. All servers handle data of some sort.

 

If you want a server to handle information like documents, pictures etc a simple FTP server can do this. And that doesen't have to be expensive for even a big community.

If you're looking to host game server for a few thousand people. One server will not work in your favour.

 

If you can tell what the server is going to do i might be able to give a better answer, also i'm sure alot of other people can do aswell.

How many people will be accessing the server?

What is the purpose of this server? To be some sort of a public file storage?

Too vague and intentionally obfuscated.
