Rent Garry's Mod server.. which one to choose? - Garry's Mod

Hi there, I am going to rent a Garry's Mod server. And I have stumbled upon these: [url]http://www.inx-gaming.com/game-servers/garrys-mod/[/url] [url]http://nitrous-networks.co.uk/[/url] [url]http://gmodservers.com/[/url] [url]http://www.gtxgaming.co.uk/game-servers-gtx-36p-uk-game-server-provider-cheap-game-servers/garrys-mod-10[/url] So basically my question is do any of you have experience with these services? Which one should I go for? I am going for a 16-man server with some addons, and I am looking for a stable one with good support. Thanks.

Best is to run it yourself but that's just my opinion... free, and unless you have bad internet, you can't really fuck it up terribly.

But I want to rent one to have it up 24/7, as I am not able to do that at home.

Are you looking for Europe, Uk or USA hosting location?

[QUOTE=Shepsie;40205418]Are you looking for Europe, Uk or USA hosting location?[/QUOTE] Should have mentioned that, Europe would be suitable since I live in Europe, and majority of my players are from Europe as well.

Elpishost has great support.

I use a vps from [url]www.linode.com[/url]

[QUOTE=NightmareX91;40205437]Elpishost has great support.[/QUOTE] Thanks, they look promising. I'll read more about it.

I once had a server on INX-gaming. +Great support +Low pings +Free webspace (10 GB space, 100 GB bandwith, On request) +Very stable servers -No automatic FastDownload -Uploading files through control panel sucks (But who doesen't use FTP programs like FileZilla? xD)

[QUOTE=Masa_boy;40207990] -Uploading files through control panel sucks (But who doesen't use FTP programs like FileZilla? xD)[/QUOTE] So is every other web file manager I've seen.

I use NFOServers. -Choose a variety of US hosting locations -Great support (5 min or less wait after ticket) -Nice control panel -Free Webshosting Plan -Doesn't take long for server to be created -Automatic updating, websyncing, and easy to wipe -Autoinstallers for gamemodes/plugins, such as ULX, ULib, DarkRP, etc. -Easy to set gmod-specific options, and to edit the config files via the control panel -low ping, great uptime, and a good bang for the buck.

Elpis, Nfo

Elpis

Sounds like Elpis is the way to go, thanks guys!

No XFactor. And definitely not UNIT servers. DEFINITELY. NOT. UNIT SERVERS.

Never use GTXGaming. Friends don't let friends use GTXGaming. They have the worst, most rude support and their servers are a load of bullshit.

NFO is a good host, we rent one of their VDS

Make sure to also check out [url]www.cobrahosting.org[/url] But I'd also recommend either Elpis or NFO.

Elpis host :)

they might as well rename this subforum "GET ELPIS" it really is the best out there

Elpisss

So I ordered with Elpis. Sweet control panel. And automatic fastdl, easy workshop addon install, SVN manager... fancy stuff :) Thank you for your Elpis suggestions everyone

Do NOT use nitrous networks, i am currently running a server with them, i got ddos'd (yea well who hasnt on gmod?) they nulled my IP INSTANTLY and they said it would be up after 24 hours, it has been nearly 3 days.

[QUOTE=NightmareX91;40275863]I haven't been DDoS'd on Garry's Mod, and I don't necessarily want to.[/QUOTE] Yea, you really don't want to be, but nitrous networks, WORST support ever. i am running on elpis host, i had an error and they helped me straight away, NN i had to wait 5 hours for a response.

Never use ewehost. Ever.
