hello,
I am looking for a good host for a garrysmod server(A roleplay server).
Can anyone reccomend me a good host ?
Sorry I didn't reply 8 hours ago when the topic was new, I was busy questioning the Gmod section.
You're a bit out of luck on the freebies, only a few people are friendly enough to actually provide such services.
[url=http://facepunch.com/threads/1178173]Darksoul's got another freebie offer going[/url] however knowing him it'll probably be easier to just chip out a few pennies and get a decent paid host.
I'd say search around for reviews on these companies; (They're not in a specific order btw)

Otherwise google around and see if you can find someone closer to you.
If it's going to last for a longer peroid (aka serious community) I'd recommend getting something more dedicated, a good VPS or a cheap dedicated box would probably do you 15'ish players for $20-$30 a month but you'll have more options for customizations that GS providers don't allow.
You can always ask for help for someone to set it up for you, perhaps even teach you the basics of linux for editing configs.
A few cheap alternatives; (Take note of the location, choose the one nearest to yourself)

There's lots of other offers on websites such as [url]http://webhostingtalk.com[/url] and [url]http://lowendbox.com[/url]
Prices are based on me quickly scouting through the options available and choosing something with +1GB of RAM, so if you know how much you'll be hosting you're better off going with what that requires.
Have fun!
