lorne Posted September 23, 2005 CID Share Posted September 23, 2005 I am running a Lineage 2 server from my house, and the way it is growing i will soon need a faster connection. Thing is in my crappy little town there are no faster connections. So does anybody know of a company or datacenter that you can send your server to and just pay for space and bandwidth. Preferably canadian but if not wherever i have to go is fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dn0 Posted September 24, 2005 CID Share Posted September 24, 2005 I believe member Dark_Matter is using this service: http://www.serverpronto.com/ One plan is 29.95 a month us$. I have seen $20 / month deals around, but I would have to look around. You could split the $ between your friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

resopalrabotnick Posted September 24, 2005 CID Share Posted September 24, 2005 you're prolly hosting to be close to server to have little lag too, right? instead of sending the server away, inquire at your telco how much a fractional t1 or sdsl would cost you. might be cheaper than remote hosting and you have access to the box 24/7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorne Posted September 24, 2005 Author CID Share Posted September 24, 2005 inquire at your telco how much a fractional t1 or sdsl would cost you. might be cheaper than remote hosting and you have access to the box 24/7 I have the fastest connection offered in this area. It doesn't matter where the server is as i barely play the game. It is the type of game also where pings between 200-250 is still easily playable so location don't really matter to me.

resopalrabotnick Posted September 24, 2005 CID Share Posted September 24, 2005 then the easiset thing i guess would be to rent a box at one of the hosting companies. saves the need of sending your kit anywhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilNightHawk3 Posted September 24, 2005 CID Share Posted September 24, 2005 What game is it and what kind of connection is it running off of? Do you have a business running off it ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lorne Posted September 24, 2005 Author CID Share Posted September 24, 2005 Why rent a box when i have 1? Costs to much, i know there are companies that do this i just can't find them lol. The game is Lineage 2, and it is currently running off of a cable 748 UP connection. Though it is a small town provider that currently has to many customers on the network. So i only get 512 up, they assure me they are fixing it but it doesn't matter because i will need more than 748 soon anyways. No business running off of it, strictly non-profit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
just- Posted September 24, 2005 CID Share Posted September 24, 2005 just for clarity what you should be looking for its called CO Location as far as i know serverpronto does not offer colocation i believe this is what you want from what i have read What is colocation? Colocation is the way that your web server is housed and connected to the internet. A web server is a computer that holds web pages so that they available to the Internet. Servers are usually mounted in metal racks in a purpose-built facility with a large amount of internet connectivity. http://www.webserve.ca/webhosting/collocationwebhosting/singleserver/ http://www.netnation.com/products/colo_rm.php check this website, it has lots of options http://www.askwebhosting.com/co-location/3z_Canada/?CompanyID=1229 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
