I need a new server host

[Helen]

I'm looking for a new host, any recommendations?

Any good stories/nightmares you want to share about any hosts?

Thanks.

GameTracker can be a nightmare but their server's are cheap and decent.
If you can find a dedicated server slot for rental you can always use those, a basic Linux install can do wonders, install your UT, get it up to date and start making your changes, they can give you a lot more control for your $. Check out RackSpace and other major providers. You don't need a "Game Server" provider specifically. Typically their connections are true carrier grade with enterprise grade reliability and hardware.

Wow so much information! I appreciate that. Where to start!

I don't mind paying to avoid the nightmares. These guys might have been my first host, but I can't even remember.

NFO....NFO....NFO!!!!

Weird, in my searches yesterday, I did not even come across this one.

Misers, lol. Gamesservers was actually my last host.

My host history:

Host	Duration	Review
GameTracker?	Dec2009.Aug2011	Ok I guess, I know I had to leave because they couldn't support the stats I wanted to start doing.
gamesservers	Sep2011.Dec2014	Just ok, I wanted more control over files though.
clanwarz	Jan2015.Oct2017	Although I liked the control I had, the guy in charge is an idiot. There were many straws that were getting piled on the camel's back, and the last straw was more like a brick. Do NOT use this host!

So, redirect...  I have been reading how to do a redirect... is it as simple as this?

• You need a host for your .uz files.
  
• You set the appropriate settings for [IpDrv.TcpNetDriver] and [IpDrv.HTTPDownload] in the server ini.
  

Is that it?

Yes you don't need to use your server's redirect.  I have used UT Files as my redirect and they are pretty fast downloading compressed files.  If I remember correctly, you sign up for free to get the ftp password.  Here is the link...

Worth a try.  They have been around forever. I also download files from here and Medor's server for mods,etc.  Good luck!

Or you can use LZMA http://unrealtournament.99.free.fr/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&p=10489

I am getting a 1gbps fully synchronous link soon from AT&T If your looking for hosting I'll have more bandwith than I can possibly use. So I'll let you know once things are installed and completed. Think of your ping H! You'd be at 20 I'm currently dealing with massive problems on some other russian server/host provider. They've been down for days now. Storage space wouldn't be a problem or redirects.

Thanks man but actually I'm all done, I have a new host pingperfect.com, and with it came a free sub domain with webhosting, so that took care of my redirect for free! I now will pay less for my two servers than I was paying before, sweet.
