I see that most of servers on internet list don't get that many players... What can I do to get more ? (I can't afford to buy a host)

SHARE YOUR SERVER IP !
Make vids of your server and upload to *******

Netlog ...
Put your server ip in your sig !
SAMP FORUM advertising (1 time in a month !)

1¬ You need contacts. Get some friends that will help you, so your base will be 5-10 instead of 1 (you)
2¬ Do above's comment by Michael@Belgium
3¬ Hosted tab always helps
4¬ And make sure you have a unique scripts. GF don't have a victory fate.

The trick is to get other servers to merge with you. Don't be fooled, merges can go both ways, you go to them, or they go to you.

Its your choice which way you go, but try to merge with servers with 10 players when you have 10 players, and merge with servers with 20 players when you get 20 players, and so on.

10
10
= 20

20
20
= 40

40
40
= 80

And so on.

I wouldn't recommend this as..
¬ The other's server owner may take over or be an asshole; just not a good pair.
¬ Many players won't be agreed with the merge and then leave.
¬ Posibility of lose control of server in the future.
