I'm interested in a server if there are any left; Chloe might have snagged the last of them.
Also: Your website appears to have a database error right now and I cannot access its main page.

Still haven't gotten a pm so.
[QUOTE=darksoul69;41766861]Okay that makes more sense. You said in the OP you had a 10Gbps connection and not 1Gbps, thanks for clarifying.[/QUOTE]
Well, a port speed over 1gbps would be needed to successfully mitigate a 1gbps attack, unless there was absolutely no legitimate traffic. However, their game servers appear to be hosted at limestone so they're probably just pulling the 10gbps number out of their ass. Limestone doesn't offer port speeds greater than 1 gbps. As for "world class" DDoS protection -- I don't see any signs of that; there's no signs of any traffic being proxied through a DDoS mitigation service like prolexic (by far the world leader in DDoS mitigation). I would be surprised if there is even a decent hardware firewall.
The website seems to be hosted on the most basic blue host plan, which is overpriced and primarily uses budget bandwidth from cogent and HE. Using a whois guard instead of the business's information is pretty unprofessional too.
The testimonials also appear to all be fake, and I don't see any signs of them being registered as an actual business.

I agree with everything except the design rip off. It is a 15 dollar template. But yeah the site is pretty much overall very unprofessional and the advert contradicts allot of the website material(i7 in advert xeon on website)
If they were truly using a recognised DDoS mitigation service they would not be able to beat other hosts prices and would be much more expensive because of the mitigation costs are in the hundreds if not thousands per month.
Yea, I didn't realize it was just a template and removed that right after I posted. I'm also wondering if they might be getting DDoS mitigation from black lotus since I'm seeing a lot of black lotus peering on Limestone's network. Still, the extra transit time from having to route everything from phoenix to dallas would significantly increase everybody's latency.

I think you mean "Want."
I really wonder why all these people are just copying other peoples HTML/CSS templates.... like come on!
Dose no one have something original.

Elpis host does
ElpisHost's design is nice; I would personally give it a darker theme like my [url=http://cronosdage.x10.mx]website[/url] but it's definitely well-made and original

Thanks! Really need to get the billing systems theme to match up with the site - hopefully soon :)

Didn't the billing pages match the site before you got some other billing management? I could have sworn about a year ago the ordering page had all the green-ness and nice buttons on it. What did you use for billing before and what do you use now?
(might want to PM for this or ask in the elpishost thread but I don't know)
[QUOTE=ChloeBlackSythe;41767561]Would love a free server is there is any left![/QUOTE]
If more become available you will be first on the list.

Website is up and free server sent.
Enjoy :)

Just to confirm we don't block 10Gbps DDoS - our order page clearly says less then 1Gbps. Our firewall was build to allow up to 10Gbps and our firewall wraps around all of our servers. Also we are planning to update our site soon. We have a meeting with beztdesigns scheduled.
Finally set up my server and it works great, if anyone wants to see how it performs on an almost vanilla ttt server (There is an admin mod and map voting but no major addons) [URL="69.162.110.76:27015"]feel free to join[/URL]

I'm so excited you are enjoying your server.

[QUOTE=Mike Tyson;41765886]Could i take a server?[/QUOTE]

If you need any more help go ahead and submit a ticket :)
Edit: I guess you found it.

[QUOTE=Cronos Dage;41781636]I didn't receive a PM. I don't think you e-mailed me directly, did you?
Edit: Got PM'd that apparently the above post of giving me a server was a joke. ????????[/QUOTE]
i know what happened. My post above was mixed up. Chloe got the server and you are next on the list because Chloe posted first.
I apologies for the inconvenience.

TCAdmin had hiccuped and did not email you - sorry about that.
I really wouldn't even know what to do with a free Gmod server.. I mean I'm not a coder, but I would know what things/features to code in for a TTT server to make it good.
Hey mate, any chance you could hook me and my community with a TF2 server?

I will look into it. You can always use the 15% off coupon.
I sent you a PM Wad Wafes!

I messaged you back!
Id like a free server
I can already imagine "Bird grylls piss paradise"
You have "POWERED BY POWERFUL CORE i7s" plastered everywhere, but you realize 1270v2's are Xeons, not i7s, yes?
Yeah, got my server up with everything working as expected. These guys have pretty fast response for support to, which I was surprised to see considering they aren't making any money off me. I wholeheartedly recommend their services.
