oooooooooh shit
For those wondering about the new logo, it was a design choice made a while back. [url=http://andrewmcwatters.com/brohoster.com/]I designed and wrote up a prototype site for us which was never put to use.[/url]
[QUOTE=coolity;30546596]Oh god I read the last page! My FREE server will be gone by monday?! :crying: [editline]18th June 2011[/editline] And I was going to release my RPG server on that day too...[/QUOTE] I need a good minecraft server host now, yet I lose my free server. What do?
I'm aware Minecraft servers need less disk space, so if you're looking to host one with me, I can negotiate some lower prices than those shown on my billing site. I can't quite match Brohoster pricing, though, but then again it seems they couldn't keep that up given that they're going down the shitter... With that said, I'm not actually running my services for profit. I need servers, and so the cheapest way for me to do this is buy beefy physical hardware, virtualise and sell off the excess capacity I don't need at cost.

Even more now that myself and Andrew have been fired (you can order about 14-15 more boxes with how much we were paid). It's ClubUptime that wasn't making enough money.

I won't even bother asking for a refund for my Minecraft server which I still have about 2 months left for, as I probably won't get a reply this year. I really have to start paying for stuff with my debit card so I can do chargebacks!

This is not a good time to know absolutely nothing about server hosting.

JWJ, you seem like such a cool mother fucker. I am so sorry to hear about all that's happened, same to you, amcfaggot. Although I never used Brohoster, I've always heard people claiming how great it is, as a result of your hard work.

This fucking blows, Brohoster was such an amazing name and even better slogan.
When I first had my Brohoster server, I remember when JWJ along with one other person helped me setup plugins and databases through livechat. The service was unbeatable. When the Brohoster Facebook stated he had "left" I knew they fucked up.
hey JWJ, buying you a beer at camping because you're a bro :love: sad to see this go down the shitter, was planning on buying one when they said they'd be hosting euro servers soon
[QUOTE=Hexxeh;30546196]I have a bunch of clients running servers on these, no issues. They are US based though, so if you're European they might not be great on latency. If you'd like to test latency, feel free to ping mercury.hexxeh.net.[/QUOTE] FanaticalVPS has European servers. They're awesome too.
[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;30547256]FanaticalVPS has European servers. They're awesome too.[/QUOTE] FanaticalVPS is cool, but I prefer Xen personally. I used to offer EU servers but there wasn't enough demand to make it break even I found so I stopped.

Banned from their FP page for mentioning it heh
I remember when I considered buying cheap web hosting from Brohoster to tinker with. Glad I didn't, this situation is such bullshit.
[QUOTE=Trumple;30547407]Banned from their FP page for mentioning it heh[/QUOTE] As was I. I simply asked if they were selling out.
Bring it on bitches. Reposted.
:saddowns: Welp, Should I deactivate my server before they mess it up or start charging me? (Seeing as its gone down.)
Can anyone recommend another good Web Hoster that isn't run by people who fire their founder and other good employees?
