i was planning on paying for a cheap base price colocation. Usually comes with a single ip and single power.
Here is my issue, i will be running Vsphere ESXI 5.1 on my machine(poweredge 1950 Gen2)
Now lets assume i am assigned a single IP, that will be on the physical NIC running Vsphere. Now when i create VM's they are given ips with a VLAN static or not.
lets say i put a game server on one of the vm's on windows server perhaps.
How can i route traffic from the public (vsphere) address to the Private (Vm machine). Do colocations usually set ports or forward ports for you on their routing systems?
Anyone with experience have and ideas or solutions?
I mean i guess i could use a Virtual router running inside vsphere but.. to which machine do i assign the 1 Public ip im given?
the RouterVM?

Usually the VM Hipervisor does NAT between it's physical assigned IP and the virtual private addresses you assign to each virtual machine, all you'd have to do is to configure your Vsphere to forward the needed ports to the virtual machine that's hosting your game server (i.e. Counter Strike 1.6 needs ports 27015-27020 UDP
)

How do i configure vsphere to forward ports? Within the vsphere client? VLAN settings?
