I cant decide which game server host to go with. I did notice that elpishost is cheaper... but i still cant decide!
Many people here will agree with me when I say ElpisHost. Top quality support and servers.
I personally have been using NFOservers for a while, and their support is extremely quick during all hours of the day, they're excellent at handling DDoS attacks... I've not had any problems with them. I haven't tried out ElipsHost, but I can give my full support for NFOservers. Absolutely great server host.
Elpis Host is great. The guy who runs it is really nice, and genuinely cares about his customers and what they do. I rent quite a few servers with him, and have done for over a year now. The amount of effort he puts in to making sure you're happy is superb, I couldn't ask for better support
Personally, I LOVE NFO, I've had quite a few servers with them, fast support, amazing DDoS Protection, and easy customizable control panel for all server needs. Even notifies you on the control panel when an answer comes on any of your support requests. Don't go to ElpisHost if you're just going for the cheaper. Trust me, NFO is worth it, but I guess it can be arguable, I believe NFO has the best DDoS protection out there though.
I am actually using both right now lol nfo is a little easier for newer server developers because they restrict a lot of things that can mess up your server. Not to mention they include free webspace which is cool for any of your mysql or website/forum needs. The support is damn good 90% of the time. If you find a fault with something that isn't related to an addon they will blame addons for any issues until you are on a twice wiped vanilla server. Even then they will say well it works now so go have fun rebuilding it. I am just recently trying out elpis because I had too many customer service hangups with NFO I know they weren't common issues but it still bothered me. Elpis so far has been a breeze and the support has been spectacular the prices are a little cheaper(but no webspace or mumble server) they do however have a system that gives you a fastdl and it is REALLY easy to use. They also allow you to edit the command line of your server and change quite a few more things, it isn't as padded when you are working with it. They are both good choices. NFO will prob run a little cheaper if you don't have webspace already and is very user friendly. Elpis if you want a little more control of your server. (I know NFO has DDOS protection, not sure about Elpis)

FastDL

Guys i vote NFO all the way i use them they are great support and more :).
Guys I vote we just link the 50 threads discussing these 2 hosts before? NFO will stop at least 90% of the purchased booters from websites such as hack forums. Elpis have more generalized support towards gmod addons. They are pretty much the only 2 key differences. Feel free to go check out who the top populated servers host with, long as you are not one of the annoying children who blame there host for darkrp crashing every day then you will do well @ nfo. Not saying there servers crash, saying that you shouldn't blame your host for gmod lua issues.
