One for Michal Marcinkowski, as mentioned in this Soldat Forums news post, and the other as the next step in my hosting endeavors with Lee.
Building and managing servers is one of my greatest passions and hobbies, and I am extremely excited to begin work on both of these.
I am pretty sure Brick doesn't pay for it all, I know Mike is pitching in money to help.
It says in the post who is paying for what.
Alright, I still have a few questions though.Michal mentioned the server will be used for "Soldat related sites". Are these communities such as U13, Fracs, ... ?If so, I think there should be a selection of who can put their site on it and who can't, kind of like gamespy-planet does. Otherwise the server would quickly get clogged up with forums.If so, would it be free to host a site on it? Should a user pay according to the specs he needs?If so, would there be an option to have a small Soldatserver instead of webspace?
If not, then what will exactly be hosted on that server?
Right now the hosting for Soldat — the official site, forums, lobby server, anti-cheat master server, SVN source code repository, static content hosting, download mirrors, and other parts — are all spread out on different servers with varying performance, reliability, and security. Having a properly built and managed server for Soldat will give it yet another leap in professional feel, as well as give Michal lots of growing room for his future projects.
What about it? You mean what will it be running?
