Guys is samp4you a good host ? I'm thinking of trying it out out so can you guys help me out here ?

There's no complaints but I would mention checking the IP addresses under their test servers it seems to be one OVH server and active-servers.com, active-servers.com has no DDoS protection so better make sure you're not under that host.

Their demo account at https://www.samp4you.com/demo doesn't work and as you can tell a lot of test servers are offline and their ******** page hasn't been updated in months, leads me to believe you can expect slow support responses since they can't even keep up with upkeep for their online services.

Also to mention that it seems they only have one server available to order servers on which means they could be overselling.

There's nothing to really tell you besides the fact some things seem a bit sketchy other than that you would need to try them yourself. I personally could never go with such a company that doesn't take care of their responsibilities of keeping their website maintained. A good example as I explained was the fact that the test servers some are offline and the demo account doesn't work but also the English translation has not been completed for over a year as you can see from a website archive from July 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140707....samp4you.com/ The site clearly has the English logo on the top right side yet it is still in beta and has never been fully completed.

One year before i hosted my server 4 months there and i had never problems . The support was also great. Like i sayed its over 1 year i dont now how the Service is atm. But i have god experience with the host.

Any host who tries to use SA-MP as a primary means to support their business is not a host I feel comfortable going with.

Thanks for the advice.

Rent your own dedi and not trust in ghost company's.

Try to have a dedicated server first instead of hosting. Later on if you will find a reliable hosting company, you should go and check it out and try to assimilate their terms and conditions and if you have any problems with their hosting, try to contact their customer support.

Samp4you is really old and not a ghost company, you may not know that Hoster cause it was always a German Hoster and since few Months they translated the Controlpanel to English (German and English Translation)

The Controlpanel is one of the best I know in SA:MP and they are always up-to-date with Server Files and the Support there is awesome and fast.

I was there for almost a Year and never had Problems (Running now my own dedi...)

I'm the owner of samp4you.

Thank you for every feedback in here.
I just updated the test server list. The demo account is working so far, I didn't do anything.

We exist since 2009 and now have two big ddos-protected servers from OVH and are not overselling them.
SA:MP-Servers get assigned randomly to the host systems after payment. We also monitor the server load.

It's right that tickets don't get answered really fast, but normally you get an answer within 24 hours.
For faster suppport, there is ticket and live support.

I'm sorry that the website translation is not finished yet.


Cheers,
Andi
