Server rentals :: NFOservers.com

So, this random guy adds me on steam, I have no clue who he is, he's not associated with me in anyway, and despite what he said about playing on my server(s), he hasn't. The only game he has is TF2, and I don't have any TF2 servers.

So, enjoy, for NFo's part that is

4:24 AM - Loomis: hey
4:25 AM - [S] White Boy: hello there
4:25 AM - Loomis: i sometime play on your servers and i noticed you said your server is going down?
4:25 AM - [S] White Boy: our old one is because we got a new system
4:25 AM - Loomis: oh so you changed providers?
4:26 AM - [S] White Boy: yup
4:26 AM - Loomis: ah
4:26 AM - Loomis:
4:26 AM - Loomis: is the new servers good
4:26 AM - [S] White Boy: whats wrong?
4:26 AM - [S] White Boy: oh definitely
4:26 AM - [S] White Boy: i would never trade anything for NFo but sometimes i have to make exceptions here and there haha
4:26 AM - [S] White Boy: this time im not though
4:27 AM - Loomis: nfo?
4:27 AM - [S] White Boy: now what i'm wondering is what server you were playing on of mine
4:27 AM - [S] White Boy: http://www.nfoservers.com
4:27 AM - [S] White Boy: best in the business for real, run and tell that, homeboy!
4:27 AM - [S] White Boy: lol
4:27 AM - Loomis: oh i see ur old servers are with nfo?
4:27 AM - Loomis: or ur new ones?
4:27 AM - [S] White Boy: no my old servers are with http://www.ubiquityservers.com
4:27 AM - [S] White Boy: new one is from nfo
4:27 AM - Loomis: ah
4:28 AM - Loomis: i might want to try to get a server from nfo are they more expensive
4:28 AM - [S] White Boy: depends what youre looking for
4:29 AM - [S] White Boy: if its a game server, i would say don't go for it, get a one core VPs (i have a 4 core)
4:29 AM - [S] White Boy: well, its valled VPS but its considered a VDS from nfo, because they literally are VDS's, you can really compare it to a VPS
4:29 AM - [S] White Boy: called*
4:29 AM - Loomis: ah I see
4:30 AM - [S] White Boy: youd be able to fit around 3 servers on that one core VDS, and they will run spectacular, that was the first thing i ever ordered from NFo
4:30 AM - Loomis: yeah its a tf2 server
4:31 AM - [S] White Boy: ive never ran TF2 servers so i cant really tell you if it'll be exactly 3 servers on there or what, but just about every source game now runs on the orangebox, so i will say it will be identical
4:32 AM - Loomis: im poor so i can't really run anything atm lol i need friends to help pay for it
4:32 AM - [S] White Boy: with nfo you can do that easily
4:32 AM - [S] White Boy: they have clanpay
4:33 AM - [S] White Boy: theyll go to a link like this
4:33 AM - [S] White Boy: https://www.nfoservers.com/donate.pl?fo ... kberry.net
4:33 AM - [S] White Boy: thats what the page will look like
4:33 AM - [S] White Boy: the one core VDS is only $35 now, used to be $39
4:34 AM - Loomis: im tryin to find someone who will host a small 16 slot tf2 server for me, running a small training mod
4:35 AM - Loomis: so im tryin to find something really cheap
4:35 AM - Loomis: most providers are offering more than I need
4:35 AM - [S] White Boy: i would give you one if i had a control panel like tcadmin, but i dont even think ill be adding more servers for myself, its hectic having to update every 20 fucking seconds because valve releases an update for every game
4:35 AM - [S] White Boy: updated all my servers two times in two days, just because they forgot to chagne v1.0.0.55 to 56
4:35 AM - [S] White Boy: change*, and it isnt fun doing it
4:35 AM - Loomis: yeah I don't even bother with tcadmin anymore
4:36 AM - Loomis: It's good for multiple servers
4:36 AM - [S] White Boy: tcadmin is ridiculous on win 2k8 servers
4:36 AM - Loomis: but it gives a lot of overhead as well
4:36 AM - [S] White Boy: 3GB ram usage just for that and IIS
4:36 AM - Loomis: ya
4:36 AM - [S] White Boy: i take it off, and my 7 game servers use less than 2GB ram
4:36 AM - Loomis: I just update srcds manually and set it as a service
4:37 AM - [S] White Boy: i just use serverdoc
4:37 AM - [S] White Boy: easier for me cause im always on remote desktop
4:37 AM - Loomis: I used to have a friend who hosted this server for me but he changed it to a l4d2 server
4:37 AM - Loomis: :/
4:37 AM - [S] White Boy: i hate l4d2
4:38 AM - Loomis: ya

Thanks for the plug

You might also consider a managed VDS. With a managed VDS, we handle all the game updates for you, and you can hand out control panel access to other users for servers that you create, if you ever need to.

Nahhh I'm good as far as that goes I like having the feel of a nice clean OS with no programs running just applications in front of my own two eyes, haha.

Speaking of which, do you plan on getting the other dedicated servers back? I remember seeing it about two months ago on the order form again but it was gone before I even got a chance to say "hey!" to it being there. Don't want to overload the 3 Core VDS and don't want to get a VDS too high when I can just buy a dedicated.

In terms of lower-end dedicated server configurations, those become available mainly through cancellations, and we haven't seen any recently. If you open up a support request, though, I can let you know when one does open up.
