server cost
« on: May 03, 2007, 04:10:57 pm »
this is mainly directed at FLAB and/or EnEsCe, i would like to know how much do your servers cost?

Id like to open one after i get my job so if you could please post the cost, i would greatly appreciate it.

(i did look through u13.com for the prices, all i found was for donating which i am willing to do after i get my job)

$99 bucks is the bare minimum that will rent you a server that will run Soldat.  Its just a box located in a datacenter.  It probally doesn't have the specs to run 100 people in lets say 5 different game instances.  But you didn't mention any of that.  And you have to do everything yourself.

Lets just say.  Its easier said than done though if you're aiming to even break even on this endeavor.

Most servers go along the lines of an american daller for one slot, for publics. Private servers are usually cheaper.

For a private server, FliesLikeABrick is 0.50c per slot I believe, and mine are 0.80c

Depends if you want better features, or cheapest possible with less features

I won't be able to receive mail this summer, but I have an alternate address that can be used.  Since it isn't my address, I'll have it given to you if you decide to rent from me.  If you want to rent from me, just e-mail rentals@u13.net and we'll work out everything there.
