Prices
Hardware
Website


All the Server hardware information is taken right from the companies websites.

This has all the information and you can go out and take your pick. I probably missed a few. Quantum for example didn\'t respond to me on irc and i couldn\'t find thir hardware info on their site. If any server companies or people want me to add you to the list i will gladly do so.

Conclusion: 3 Server companies are tied for the cheapest price. Midnight Gaming, Velocity and Game Servers. All of the companies have similar server hardware. It basically comes down to how many server are put on each box. it is known around competitive communities that gameservers overload there boxes, but Midnight and Velocity seem to have a good rep about box stacking. NFO, v2, X-factor and Hi-Def seem overpriced for not having much better server hardware. I know all of those have good a reputation, but for a game where reg is not a noticeable thing, im not sure the price is worth it.

sadly the hardware sections are missing, i cant seem to delete the post either!! :(

can\'t try and steal my post. it\'s cause i made quotes. so you are trying to quote the quote. PM and edit and get him to allow you to edit the post. then copy paste what the poster could see and it would work.

Just go with the cheap shit ;).

Admin edit: Replaced OP with this post.

I edited the OP and put that in it. Thanks Alex.

I\'ve rented a couple velocity servers from 1.6, source, cod... I currently run a Velocity CSS server and a Summit CSS server and I\'m in the process of purchasing 4 l4d servers. Summit, Velocity, and PubGameServers are all run by the same company. They\'re staff pretty much rule. Blake and Brian are by far the coolest... Just my opinion... They always have deals and discount coupons...

Do you happen to have any info on the connections they are on? The hardware is important, but I think their connection would be nice to know.

Also, I agree with reciprocate, Velocity are good people. I had my CSS server through them. I have had 4-5 server companies in the past and velocity are definitly the most helpful.

I use them and they are a lot better than all the pubs I\'ve played on.
I would give them a shot, I just asked one of the guys in #FNServers on IRC
