How much do you expect to pay for SA-MP hosting? - linuxthefish - 22.10.2013
How much are you happy to pay for SA-MP hosting, if it didn't include extra features such as hosted listings, excessive MySQL databases or free web hosting?
Considering SA-MP takes so little resources to run (look at free hosting sites like sa-mp.gs), and DDoS protection, bandwidth and hardware costing a lot less than a few years back - most of the current hosts seem to be charging too much for what you actually get. You could even go and buy a cheap $10 a year VPS that will happily run 50 slots on a well optimized gamemode with little downtime!
As most servers don't use all purchased slots, wouldn't it be better to charge depending on RAM/CPU/Network usage and allow for the customer to set their own amount of slots?

VPS simply ROCKS !
Vps + game-mp account = A perfect relation ! (DDOS protection for security purposes and to reduce downtime due to attacks )
These days everybody needs money and sa-mp is filled with KIDS , they simply love to Ruin there dad's Credit cards !
dotvps.co is providing a 512 mb vps for 4 $ .....
so , its around 48 $ per year !
where as the samp host providers , these days charge around 10 $ for 100 slots .... so around 120 $ / year .

I'd pay about $10-15 for a SA-MP host with around ~100 slots, because that's all I would need for a server. But nowadays, I'd just use a VPS since I've had experience with them for years and they're fairly easy to me.
I just don't like the fact that VPS servers are very overrated @ SA-MP. I mean, this "VPS craze" has suddenly started up and now everybody is racing to get one. These things are not the solution to everything; you can only run a server with so many slots and then your server will drastically slow down. Think of it as your own computer, the more things you keep running, the slower the performance.
A 512 MB VPS isn't going to run a full blown 200 slot SA-MP server and a Teamspeak server with 100 slots. There are hosts made specifically for these services; use them. You would probably need to spend $30-40 on a VPS that has the capability of running 400+ slots and multiple services, or a dedicated server (which is basically like renting out a whole physical computer - totally different from a VPS, which is a virtual server).

Probably around
15-20$ for a decent 150 slots server

Nothing, there is simply no reason to start a server if there are hundreds of servers which are almost same
So i don't really pay for games

8-10 cents/slot/month
Everything else is too overpriced for the little work it is for the hoster to keep the server running. And I wouldnt support any hoster trying to get horrendous profit from poor children.

Sorry, but this is stupid. Even 1 slot creates costs for the hoster. How should free servers for everyone work? You expect them to make loss for nothing? |
