We've added capacity in San Jose to allow for our first West-coast VPS/VDS location. Virtual Private Server / Virtual dedicated server capacity tends to sell out fast, so if you're considering one of these, we recommend ordering ASAP!

All of our virtual servers come with dedicated HT cores, InterNAP bandwidth, and a 2-day free trial for new customers. We very closely monitor and tend to these machines to make sure that they hum along at maximum performance.

(Additional capacity will open up in Chicago tomorrow, as well, at least briefly.)

We've ended our preorder sale for BF:BC2, since the game has been released. If you missed out on it, though, we have good news: We've launched a new "early adopter" promotion that gives you another chance to save, with 10% off our normal BC2 pricing.

All new orders come with a 2-day free trial and our performance guarantee. Order right away and you'll lock in that sale price for as long as you have the same server in the same configuration!

Sunday night, we brought online all of the preordered BFBC2 servers. Customers can configure these via their control panels in preparation for the release of the game on March 2.

Meanwhile, the preorder sale will continue until the game is fully released in the US. Get your orders in now to get that full 25% off :).

We're being frequently asked whether BF:BC2 servers can be run on a VPS/VDS or dedicated server here. The answer is "no". We and all the other RSPs (Ranked Server Providers) are not allowed to give access to the files to anyone who is not under contract with DICE, and this means that we can't load it onto a VDS or dedicated server for our customers

Some other hosts are offering "dedicated servers" that allow BFBC2 or other servers to be created through a limited control panel, but they do not allow remote desktop/SSH access or allow the machine to be used for anything else (such as webhosting). This isn't something we offer here -- all of our VDSes and dedicated servers come with full, unrestricted access.

If you'd like to order a Battlefield: Bad Company 2 server, please use our order page. We offer the guaranteed highest-performance servers, as those of you in the beta have already experienced :). Preordered servers come with a full 25% off discount over our regular prices and are a pretty amazing deal.

We've added support for CS Promod 1.04. Currently their Linux server code is broken, so right now we can only offer accelerated and hyperaccelerated servers for this mod; hopefully they will release fixed code soon that will allow this to change.

We're now accepting preorders for BFBC2 / BC2. Preordered servers will be automatically created on the day of the game's release, and they come at a substantial discount over our preliminary normal pricing -- a full 25%.

We talk more about how preorders work in our knowledgebase. They're pretty straightforward, but it's a good read.

If you have a beta key from preordering the game, you can grab a copy of the BFBC2 beta client from us. If our download site is swamped, you can also get it through bittorrent.

In your game browser, you'll see over 30 beta servers that we've already put online (with more to come). Let us know how they work for you, and we'll use that to tweak them and provide feedback to DICE on how to improve the server further!

Edit: The servers are pretty unstable right now, due to bugs in the server code. DICE is working on these bugs. We're not too surprised, since it is a beta, after all.

We've been accepted into the BFBC2 ranked hosting program as an official Ranked Service Provider (RSP) and will be offering these servers.

The BFBC2 PC beta will be released at 9am PST on January 28 and we should have servers up and ready for play. We won't be able to rent out beta servers; however, we will start a preorder program as soon as we know more about the game's resource requirements.

We added another machine in Dallas to restore virtual server availability to that location. If you need to move a server to Dallas from another location, please let us know through your control panel's "Help!" page, and we can immediately guide you through the process.

Slots in Chicago are quickly filling up, as well. If you're planning to order a server there, we recommend doing it very soon

With our new sale, if you are referred to NFO by an existing renter, and you enter that person's identifier into your order page when you submit your order, you'll get free higher priority on your game server!

As always, the referred server also gets a bonus. From the "Referrals status" page, there are several options to choose from on how to use it, including upgrading the acceleration level, adding high priority, or cashing it in with player slots.

You can refer others with an easy link that includes your identifier -- for example: http://www.nfoservers.com/order.php?referrer=youridentifier
