My first interview!

Mine as well. :v:

Keep up the good work, Jake.

Great interview.

Very interesting interview

What i don't understand is why there are resellers like you even existing?people could.rent their stuff directly from the company you rent from

Because we aren't reselling. We rent the hardware and everything from that point on is up to us to set up, configure, repair, and monitor. For some reason there is this misconception that if you rent a box you're a reseller. A reseller would be a company that just rents gameservers from another company and sells them under their own name.

i endorse brohoser gimme free stuff

There are a lot of different resellers of a company, and you got the company itself. The resellers, however, offer different packages which may or may not be more suitable for some people. So like there's a company who sells webhost. They will give you 10gb bandwidth and 10gb of space for 10$ per month. Then you have a reseller of that company, they offer 10gb bandwidth and 5gb space for 5,99$ per month. Lets say you need a maximum of 4gb storage, you could go to the company but there seems to be no package that gives less than 10gb. Then you could go to a reseller because

Interesting interview much.

so, what is brohoster? it sounds like it lets people join your server, but why do you need it? can't people join your server when you click multiplayer? or is there a max ammount of people allowed on a server without it, and this boosts player count? so confused. :confused:

I've used brohoster before. A gmod server and a teamspeak server. My ts server is still running. Very straight forward and no bullshit service. I like it. [editline]02:54PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Overv;25267074]A magical place where everything is overpriced.[/QUOTE] I'd pay an extra buck to get great service.

[QUOTE=Overv;25267074]A magical place where everything is overpriced.[/QUOTE] You get what you pay for.

So it wasn't just me who wanted Minecraft servers... And as far as I'm concerned the service is excellent, so who cares if we're paying that tiny bit extra? It's worth it.

I was surprised at the amount they were allowed to advertise on Facepunch too.

I liked the questions, good job!
