Server rentals :: NFOservers.com

Prices are high though. I currently have a server but not from here I might buy one from here but high prices. 35.99 for a 20 slot and at the company im using 15.80. Woah big difference.

You pay for good service and good quality servers.

Nod, at less than $1 a slot, the other company that you're using is either cutting some corners, will be out of business soon, or will have to raise prices in the near future, SPEC ME` =\.

New providers crop up and disappear all the time, so if you're with a new company, I'd bet money on the "out of business soon" scenario. If you're renting from a longer-term company that knows what it's doing to some degree, performance is the thing most frequently cut -- buying cheaper bandwidth and more highly loading machines are easy ways to do this. Service and extra features are also commonly reduced to achieve lower price points; it's not uncommon to have to wait a day or more for a (rather poor) response with some of the largest providers, the control panels with most providers is cookie-cutter, and free unlimited webhosting and a Ventrilo/Murmur/TS3 server are rare.

We've been one of the largest providers and also at the top of the performance and service heaps for nearly 9 years now, and we don't make a profit at our prices .

0.50 cents 1000 fps every server = tuns of people will buy servers.

Tons of people buy servers initially at prices like that, but it's not possible to run consistent-performance 1000fps servers at that price point in the long-term, because of their high costs. This is what leads companies to either go under, raise prices, or significantly reduce performance/features/service, as I mentioned before. What we charge here is a sustainable price. We frequently reevaluate this price and lower it when our costs go down.

Why isnt it possible. 0.50 a cent all servers max fps for all mods. You would make more money then your making right now because everybody will buy it from here because max fps = no lag and its cheap. Thats my opinion.

Also 35.99 for a 20 slot with 100 fps. Thats very pricey.

Unfortunately it is just not that simple. Costs can be brought down by volume to a point, and then they hit a plateau. Right now, that plateau is higher than 50 cents a slot when quality bandwidth is used and you want the 1000fps servers to actually run at a consistent 1000fps (instead of wildly fluctuating as they would on overloaded hardware).


We don't offer 100 fps servers here -- are you referencing a different provider? If they use InterNAP as we do, properly load their machines, have a very nice control panel, and instant service, then that would be a reasonable price, even for a 100fps server.

I want to point out, that max fps =/= no lag. I have run servers at 500 FPS that feel smoother to players than servers at 1000 FPS, it has a lot to do the with many other factors. Just because something is advertised as 1000 FPS doesn't mean its great. I highly check you also look at your server fps using a monitoring site or something as well.

That is a good point, Alex. Other factors like server/client rate settings and latency are more important than a high maximum FPS, especially on Orangebox servers -- where the tickrate is locked to 66, meaning that stable FPS rates over 66 should behave very similarly to each other. (In my experience, stability is key.)

Good grief, how could anyone compare what NFO provides to the .50 cent a slot gang. Four years ago my clan at the time was with one of those "large" providers and we couldn't fill the server without people rubberbanding all over the place from the horrible lag. Then three years ago I put rental servers up with one of those providers who promised low price and quality gaming servers. We suffered through months of server issues/outages and then just when we started having good population on our servers, the provider took our pre-payment, shut the servers off and ran leaving us holding the bag.

Anyone who thinks that .50 cents a slot is a reasonable price which all providers should offer should do some checking into what it really costs a slot to run a full dedicated server out of a data centre and then factor in the cost of having to manage that dedicated server themselves (I know what's involved as I ran my own for over a year).

At .50 cents a slot, you will get what you pay for I am afraid and it won't be much.

I'd pay twice what NFO is asking. Without question.

Their service and servers are top notch!!!!!

Best company I have dealt with for anything ever.

Go nfo or go home. Never had a problem doubt i will ever have a problem and i will lol when the company ur with fucks you over.

You pay for what you get, just like any good "brand" there are always knock offs. I would rather have the adidas than the adadas any day and I don't mind paying for it.

There will always be the people who either don't understand quality or simply can't afford it, so the Walmart's of the world will always be there for you.

Don't be mad because you can't afford the cream of the crop, just get even, get an education and get a real job so you can afford it!

You will find the support here as the best.
Replies within minutes where other companies take hours.

The individual game server price may be high for what you want, but take a look into a VDS server. For the same price you can get the smallest server and run 2 or 3 servers.

Far better deal if you take the time to look around.
