bEst Server Host

[ertug2]

[QUOTE=Bings;50699459]I'm interested to know why every single suggestion is on an overcrowded service all living off OVH or re selling off some other large data centre and having your server completely blend in with the crowd of an [B]extremely large majority of everyone[/B] else's servers and therefore nobody joins.

Obviously DDoSing can be an issue, but the situation isn't that dire meaning you have to be on the biggest networks in the world, which can't block everything either.

My advice is to go for a small company not related too gaming but provide a solid service on a good network with basic mitigation and the company with not many customers.

I literally get next minute support from the technician, not waiting a few days jumping through multiple people to get to someone helpful who messaged the actual DC or knows what there doing.[/QUOTE]

I'm working on it. As you may imagine, the startup cost for me to get my own location is in the 100K USD range and up..

[QUOTE=MadParakeet;50699493]Case in point right here. People in these threads get offended and resort to namecalling over their favorite server host. These threads will never be useful.

I didn't vote his post dumb because I think GMC is a bad service, it honestly looks pretty nice. It's just that every time one of these threads pops up Penguin is one of the first people to post with his damn referral link.

Anyhow I'm sorry a little brown box upset you and you felt the need to call me out specifically.[/QUOTE]

The entire idea of our affilate system is for us to grow while our current clients get a big incentive. Of course I don't tell them specifically to go on forums and have an affilate war. I'll probably be giving out some promotional codes to some affiliates which may widen the gap a bit and make it less of a spam related post.

Thanks.

[QUOTE=Garnet;50699359]Well:
You're all a bunch of morons for hitting that post with a dumb, considering StonedPenguin, Corv and myself are all hosted with GMC, within the top 5 servers.[/QUOTE]

Shouldn't you be hosting on dedicated hardware if you have a large player base like that

We sell dedicated machines privately. That's what the top servers run on.

Listen, regardless of whom it may come from, I have told my story many times, i'm just running out of breath telling it over and over again.

Let me speak plainly here.

If you are looking for a server provider, and intend on having a playercount in the 50's + range,

YOU ARE GOING TO NEED DDOS PROTECTION.
end of story.

NFO will null-route you before you can even blink, the second a large or small attack comes in, your done in most cases, and that's not even taking in consideration on what types of attacks may come your way. you might as well collect your chips early to be honest if your not willing to listen to reason.

[wad wafes]

well I enjoy [URL="intuitiveservers.com"]Intuitive Servers[/URL] because they actually are fair on pricing and they offer better ddos protection, support, and over-all quality then any other host i've used.

I don't mention it often, but I do some small time hosting here: [url]http://hosting.jonathandroogh.com/[/url]

Obviously looks too good to be true, but I use the servers myself and I host for other people to offset the cost.

I also want to point out this part of my Terms of Service:

OVH dedicated/game servers are honestly the best I've ever used.

Support is great, DDoS protection is unbelievably good, price is worth it.

Anybody who tells me that OVH's support and DDoS protection is great has never needed support and has never been targeted by in depth DDoS attacks.

[wad wafes]

I was with OVH before I went with [URL="intuitiveservers.com"]Intuitive Servers.[/URL]

OVH is NOT a DDoS protected hosting.
