VPS or GameHosting? - Onfroi - 27.04.2013

First of all I did search, and didn't find any topic about this.
Well I was wondering which one is better to use for a SA:MP server host, buy a dedicated VPS or get hosted with a GameHosting company?

The only disadvantage I find for VPS is that you can't get Hosted Tab listing. Correct me if I'm wrong.

So vote up please!

VPS, because you have more control over your server.

You can get your SA-MP server on hosted tab list if your server is hosted on VPS, you only need Game-MP account or someone that is selling listings(By breaking Game-MP ToS).

It isn't breaking the Game-MP TOS if you own / affiliated with the server eg (Hosting it).

"That servers listed on your account are owned or leased by you, or you lease the IP address associated with the listing." - http://game-mp.com/?action=help

If you do have time to administrate / maintain the vps, then get a vps and host your server on it.

If you don't have time to administrate / maintain the vps / dedicated server, or you don't know how to control a linux server / windows server, then go to game hosting.

I don't think you have to spend too much time managing a VPS

You shouldn't forget that a VPS comes empty. If you want MySQL you have to install it yourself. If you want a control panel you have to install it yourself. Most of the time you also have a set resource and bandwith limit, which is not an issue with 'normal' game servers.

VPS. I would never use a host for a sa-mp server.

GameHosting,
VPS if you have a big server OR plan on running teamspeak, your website, etc. with the server

Get a gamehost for now. If you get a big community then get a vps.

Profit?
