Question.. Server Hosting ... recomendations
Posted: Sat Oct 18, 2008 10:32 am
Hey Guys/Gals
Recently the Clan I belong to was looking for a new Server Host we found one , BUT soon discovered things wernt quite what the seem, or should i say wasnt quite what we expected.
I think a Good Addition to this site, since it has many varied UT99 Game types and admins browse here, would be to have a sub forum dedicated to advertising the Host you rent from.
giving them a rating out of 10 for the game type you have. Nothing to be posted which is liable...
Name - addy of website link
features offered
what game type you have, Camper/monsterhunt/Freezetag/Sniper/CTF/ect.
Hosted in what country
Global System
Global redirect
ftp access
Good Support
use of Bots in Server
use of monsters
web admin
quick response for admin support
any dis-likes about the host, (not to be used for flaming)
reason i post this request is to help others find a host, they are happy with recomendation.
rather than take a chance and end up with a poor host for there needs. (for the Game types they use).
for example.
our host did not say there was no ftp access to control your own server.
instead they control with an online system web page based, its Great, easy to use.. (once you get used to it)
has instant effect of re starting the server after you make changes, you can go back to previous changes ect.
but has the draw back of any files needing upload.. they actually put things in the directorys required which takes time. so mods ect are not instant when you upload to there system.
For us, setting up a server with with custom things on there global based system was difficult.
but for a non custom sniper server its would be awsome everything you ever need mod is there ready for use.
after getting our server as we wanted it i recieved an email saying "no Bots" allowed to be used in the server as they effect load balancing, yet theres no advertising of this.
there service is very good, but we may not have gone with them had we known in advance what we know now!
What do you think ?
