...atleast for a month. I recently rented a server from INX-Gaming.com as we are discussing which host we will stick with.
If the host turns out to be complete bullshit, laggy as fuck and shows no support what so ever, we'll have to find a different one. But for now, have fun on our minigame server!
__________________________________________________ 18th of July: 3:07AM So far, I have had nothing but a very problematic experience with this host. You are not allowed to install plugins on your own, and their mod-manager "1-click install" bullshit does not install the plugins correctly. Their support is terrible. They fail at absolutely everything they claim to be excellent at. The server is still offline due to problems with the plugins. I contacted customer support nearly 8 hours ago and NOTHING has happened.
18th of July: 9:41PM Still waiting for customer support. The server is online, though with no admin system and only one available map - mg_kegs_course
19th of July: 10:48PM Still waiting for customer support. They have been in touch, and they did install my plugins - but they didn't work due to a corrupted .vdf file that is invisible and untouchable. I have to replace the corrupted one with one that is actually working - but I can't do that as I can't touch the corrupted file; so here I am again, waiting for a support team that doesn't give a shit about their customers.
21th of July: 3:57PM Yesterday, they managed to fuck up the server so badly they gave me a windows based server instead of Linux, and they gave me permission to install all plugins on my own. The server is now working perfectly, 5 days after I rented it.
The minigame server is no more. Why? Because no one gave a shit.
***UPDATE*** I might get some cash later today. It will go into a server rented fron FragNet.net. They offer free FastDL Redirect, so I'm moving the minigame server to that host instead of INX as it's just.. total bullshit. The INX server will most likely become a dd2 server for the rest of it's time being.
Also, FragNet.net is relatively cheap. Only €12 ea/ month for a 16 slot server. If the host turns out to be as great as all it's reviews and gameserver ratings, I might just look into renting two servers as it'll cost only €24, and I can afford that. Well, two servers, or increasing player slots - depends on the situation.
