Dedicated servers

[Hilda]

A co-worker showed me this hosting company today and thought I'd share here.

What's the current server running on currently anyway?

ive looked into these a lot and found this one to offer the best value..

but of course, it depends on your needs. This offers a nice balance of speed and storage at a great price.

When it isn't a matter of price but a matter of reliability, there are companies that keep the first places in hosting worldwide.
We call them "Mercedes".
One of them, which I use is Leaseweb.

The only one that managed to keep up and running a forum I administrate with 100.000 hits/day and 800 - 1200 users online/any time of the day.

The current line isn't the cheapest one, but it's relatively stable and what matters the most it's lag free most of time and majority of the US players can play rather well too.
The trouble of finding a new lag free server, changing the IP's etc is not worth the few bucks saving in my opinion.

[Hilda]

The current one doesn't seem to be that stable, at least for this week. Many of us have been having deconnecting issues.

[Monad]

It's not always about the server. I'd say with gut feeling about 1/3 of the cases player's own connection, 1/3 POL issue, 1/3 server issue.

I definitely can't play how I used to, regardless of what people think this is the main reason I will never be able to play how I used to ever again.

If you know servers from Europe that allow 1 month contracts - do share. Those can be checked out.

You can change the country location at the top of what I linked, might need google translate though.

What are the specs anyway, so I know what to check for?

the link i shared is based in europe and the prices are based on 1 month contracts. However if you order more months you get a few hundred gigabits free and more bandwidth, at least thats how it was when i ordered mine.

I'm not a huge knowledge buff on dedicated servers so i am not sure of its capabilities for hosting things like UO, I use mine mainly as a seedbox

there is also https://www.feralhosting.com/pricing-old for their old pricelist

edit: it says its hosted in london on the pricelist, not sure if its changed but im pretty sure when i ordered mine i was able to choose locations such as france or netherlands
