i would not recommend following that guide on any vps, it could seriously fuck with the parent and/or the instance and most hosts would probably yell at you. if you wanna fuck with the kernel get a dedicated server and for the love of all that is holy make a server image

alongside great performance we also offer proactive monitoring of ssh, mysql, http, icmp, etc, and not to mention our great support :D

brownymasterI know two of them seem to be able to handle the load based on what their forums said, although if all the users were running them I'd probably run into problems. Also, it's the main reason why I shot for 1GB+ dedicated ram since it's probably shared by less people, even though a SDS uses about half of that RAM.

Could probably go for a $5 VPS host and a normal gameserver package at that rate.

eh, s'all good
but seriously, don't fuck with the kernel on virtualized boxen, shit will probably get fucked up and your host will be extremely angry

brownymasterw0rdupbut seriously, don't fuck with the kernel on virtualized boxen, shit will probably get fucked up and your host will be extremely angryI'll probably ask then before I do it then (I could live with a 500Hz sys tic rate). I never bothered to look at whether or not those hosts specifically allowed you to do it, but I'll look more into it.
typically that sort of thing won't be in ToS because the majority of vps customers won't bother with the kernel, but i would definitely make sure it's ok with them first and take a server image if at all possible before even starting with that article.

check on lowendbox.com for VPS deals with >=1024 MB dedicated RAM (not burst)
make sure you read the comments on the deal posts as there are a lot of dodgy VPS providers out there
then just use this http://stevenbenner.com/2010/11/how-to-set-up-a-team-fortress-2-dedicated-server-on-ubuntu/

I think server FPS is now locked at 66, which is the same as the default tickrate value of 66hz.. also, WMP trick on windows doesn't work anymore. I wouldn't even bother trying to change kernel stuff, as it will probably make no difference.

Tickrate and server fps are both locked at 66 fps
Anything that claims to be "500FPS, 1000FPS, etc" for TF2 is a lie

For a VPS I would look at a ChicagoVPS 512MB Xen (I found it for $3.5/m). Don't waste your time messing with the kernel.

For VPS hosting I would strongly recommend http://www.9cubehosting.com/ .
They provide wide variety of linux VPS plans.They give SSH and Full root access.
They provide excellent service.I hosted my OpenVZ Vps with them for more than 5 months.,So far there is no problem and they provide 24/7 support.
