[QUESTION] Where do you host your server?

[Devwaza]

So, to people who is paying for a dedicated server, who is your provider and what is your experience with them? Please include name and a website

Mod: Sorry if i've misplaced this post, im not quite sure if this is supposed to be in general or here.

Note: I find this to be a proper area.

To your question, you should look for a hoster in your respective language. Where are you from ? Also, there are more questions you should ask. What operation system ? What server do you want to run ? How large should it be, like <100 players (if at all ?) or a private one (<20, maybe even less by far).

There are more questions than this.

OVH is good and cheap. Based in France, very fast EU speeds, not so good to US but still good enough to host without issues to them. Most big servers use or have used OVH, including Molten-WoW and Dispersion-WoW. Although, I have heard of issues with OVH when it comes to their support - getting DDOS'd heavily, instead of assisting the IP was nulled.

Well, I'm swedish, and live way up north. I would definitly want windows, but I dont know anything about their server os. And for starters about 50 players as maximum. I have no idéa what kind of dedicated server I would need for that, like ram, processor, like brandwidth with how many gb of traffic per month? and such. So, some advice would be very much apprieciated.

Best regards

I'm fairly certain that you don't need a full dedicated server for ~50 players... a decent VPS should do just fine. I could be wrong, though.

I'd also recommend against Windows as a server OS. Having run a few VPS setups myself, Debian, CentOS, and *BSD setups tend to more solid and less demanding of resources for this sort of thing.
