What server hosts do you guys recommend for Garry's Mod 13? Hosting for RP gamemodes specifically? And provide help and support in setting up the server? (Setting up MySQL which I have almost no idea how, and just generally good customer service with people who know what they're doing and talk in a language I can understand)
Also, some prices or promo codes would be cool!
Thanks
Unfortunately, most of the good hosters like Xenon or Brohoster either don't exist anymore or have turned to shit. The only good host I would recommend, at least in my experience, would be Elpis Host.

Good customer support, easy server set up.
Best customer support and hosting I've ever had, [url]https://www.nfoservers.com/[/url]

I was looking at Xenon earlier, could you elaborate more on how they have turned to "shit"?
I believe Xenon Servers overload their servers.
[QUOTE=Chessnut;38336835]I believe they overload their servers.[/QUOTE]
Yes, they do. They've been shit ever since they were bought by that XNS Media or whatever a year or two back.
Does Elpis provide essentials like mysql? Again this for rp.
Thanks

Yes, and no pesky file restrictions.
Ah, ok well i'll look into that further, any other input is still welcome.
EDIT: oops I accidently rated the post above 'funny' damn phone..
Id say nfoservers.
Good prices, quick support, solid servers.
They have many methods of contacting them for support, irc, forums, ticket system etc. In my experience they are very quick to reply with help. A lot of stuff like mysql db's can be created automatically through their control panel members area.

Great prices
either go with someone who knows what they are doing (and browses these forums)
or go get a windows vps (linux if you know how to deal with the problems that arise every update)

Represent!
John (the CEO) is the man, he's always able to help me solve my problems and often accommodates to my needs.
Their control panel is custom as well, coupled with their firewall makes the perfect server provider.
My best recommendation would be NFO but obviously it's your choice. I would stay as far away from Xenon as possible. Their servers always lag and their support team isn't that helpful in the long run. They keep overloading their boxes.
If you were to choose a host I would go with either NFO or Elpis.
Xenon isn't a bad host, but I agree they do overload their servers. All I had to do was send them a ticket for a server move and they did it. My xenon server had 32/32 all week with no lag since the move.

Aye, Elpis are great but NFO have the childproof firewall options that make life so easy.
Elpis for budding servers are decent though, from what I hear.
Elpis is the best, hands down. Anything else and you'd be settling for less.
I say ultimate game servers. Out of all, they are the best. When you submit a ticket they do exactly what you ask and even more to make sure your happy. I use it and I host a darkrp server. Once I needed to download the whole orangebox folder and they compressed it and sent it to me. I edited it and sent it back. Thats like 15 GB and it uploaded the whole thing. the control panel allows you to install any game they offer to the game server customers, ready to play. They have multiple homes all around the U.S and they have:
Full Feature Control Panel
Full FTP Access
One click mod installs for the most popular mods (Assmod, ulx, and more)
Multi-Homed Premium Bandwidth
Unlimited Hard Drive Space and Bandwidth

The same guys who took our dedicated servers that we colocated as collateral after nulling our IPs?
Yeahhhh totally the best.
I have used nfoservers for around two years now and I will say amazing customer support, decent DDoS protection not to mention your own firewall really helps. They don't overstock any of there boxes and it runs everything smooth I support them 100%.
i'd recommend these guys [url]http://www.redspeedservers.com/[/url] they know what they are doing and have top notch customer support.
Elpishost!

Don't tell him that; he'll start posting just to post.
Myself and a friend run a sandbox off of [url]http://www.artofwarcentral.com[/url]
Pretty awesome as it comes with standard redirect hosting (FastDL), only thing I'd wish to be different is that you could see the actual server console from their control panel.
