Developer Rebellion promised PC gamers there would be dedicated server support for their just released first person shooter Aliens Vs Predator. Unfortunately it looks like that support wasn't available out of the box. However, Rebellion is still promising they will be adding dedicated server features for the game via a free download
According to a post on Steam's message boards from a Rebellion rep, they state, "We hope to have a beta release with reduced functionality out in the next few days and further updates to improve functionality and fix bugs over the next few weeks." When it's ready the download will be available for Steam owners via their Tools section.

Points to remember while choosing a dedicated server
While buying a server hosting plan, the buyer should find out whether the plan is un-managed server or fully managed server since an unmanaged server greatly reduces the overhead cost of a dedicated server provider and it comes with low price tags.
The buyers should know exactly what is covered under managed services. Here is a guide for the buyers, but remember this list is not exhaustive as many times buyers’ need are different:
* Kernel Upgrades, OS patches, System pre installed services updates.
* Custom DNS configuration
* Software Firewall Installation and Configuration
* Backups and restoration help if needed
* Control panel Updates
* DLL setup Assistance
* Assistance in, creating, deleting, setting up email
* Assistance in system alerts or warnings
* Mysql updates, Database corruption assistance

* Email/FTP troubleshooting
* High Server Load troubleshooting
* Bandwidth monitoring & management
* Hardware Replacement as per SLA
* Server Recovery on failure
