• Good UK based dedicated server hosting?
    11 replies, posted
I've been looking at buying a dedicated server for my community for a while now, which would run a website, a teamspeak server and a few game servers (Around 20 slots each), so I don't need an octo-core system. I've been looking at gamingdeluxe - [url]http://gamingdeluxe.co.uk/Dedicated_Servers.html[/url] for the £49.99 one. Has anyone used gamingdeluxe before? Or alternatively, are there any better options for a low price? I also don't want to be on a contract. Thanks for any help.
That CPU may even strugle with 20 slots as it has a very low clockspeed. Imo it would be cheaper and less hassle to use shared hosting. 20 slot Gmod = £12 20 Slot Gmod = £12 20 Slot Gmod = £12 50 Slot Teamspeak = £11.50 Website Hosting = £3 Monthly equals the same maybe even cheaper and involves a lot less hassle

I never realised how much GMOD servers have gone down in price as well. I think I probably will stick with shared hosting for the time being.
If your looking for shared hosting I may be able to offer something. add me on steam (shepsie) if your interested.
BioServers.co.uk is the best of them all; cheap, reliable and awesome. Xenon servers are another one, but not very good IMO.

I would probably go with UKGame again as they are very good value, but Bioservers are also very good. I've used a lot of shared hosts in the past, I was just considering the switch to dedicated, that's all.
Don't use UKGame. I've looked in their boxes, they're packed to the hilt.

I've heard horror stories of pissed off UKG admins cancelling people just because they can. Xenonservers is a fantastic host, but I don't think they're in the UK any.
are gaming deluxe good? Thinking of getting £89.00 /month 2.4GHz Intel Core2Quad Q6600 4GB RAM/Memory (upgrade to 8gb for £10) 160GB Minimum Hard Drive Unlimited Gaming Bandwidth Windows Server 2008/2003 or Linux wondering if anyone has a better price anywhere else?
[QUOTE=Elmand;22932489]When I've used them in the past I haven't had any issues. A few of my friends use them too, and they also recommend them.[/QUOTE] 19 servers per box says different. And this was their weaker boxes, with at least four popular 30 slot servers on said box.
UKGame fucked me over too, stay away from them! I'm currently using a 2.4ghz quad core box at gaming-deluxe which is pricy but it can handle my 2x32 slot servers which are usually both full, and I still have 50% cpu spare
