What Hoster?
« on: December 03, 2011, 07:16:08 am »
So i've had my SMP Server now since alpha, and I think its time I rent a Server Host. But I don't know which one to choose from. I have 3 websites here that I think are the best ones. Im looking for: 10 player slots (maybe 15), 1GB Memory (maybe 1.5)

Option 1: http://www.stipe.com.au/
10 player slots: $15
1GB Memory: $30
Location: Sydney
Total (AUD): $45 per month

Option 2: http://servercraft.co/
(Tier 5)
Unlimited slots (1-18 Suggested Players)
1200MB Memory
Location: somewhere in America
Total (AUD): $30 per month

Option 3: http://www.multiplaygameservers.com/game-servers/mc-minecraft/
10 player slots: (about) $10
1GB Memory: (about) $8
Location: Los Angeles - California US
+ Free Mumble (10 slots)
+ Some other costs
Total (AUD): (around) $13 per month

So what do you all think?

I went for tier 2 of servercraft and never got lag (As far as I know), even when messing around with lots of tnt and pressure plate traps ;) Then again, the last one looks cheaper, but is that per month?  You could probably go for tier 4 servercraft aswell.

Yes sorry, all the totals are per month. I think it's also worth mentioning that I live in Australia, and ServerCraft Servers are hosted in America. Not sure if that will have an effect on my connection.
