Hosting
I'm sure there is a ton of posts about hosting services/etc.
I want a dedicated host, and I'm not for sure which is a good choice, I was looking and looking, and I couldn't seem to find anyone whom would supply more then 4gb of ram for hosting my server.
What do YOU recommend?
(I know there will be some arguments here on whom is the best, but it will give me an idea of who to pick.)
If you are fine giving up like $2000 up front Amazon EC2 will get you a dirt cheap server with 16 gb of ram and amazing amounts of bandwidth (as in line speed, you still have to pay for transfer bandwidth) etc for like $100/month (after like 5/6 months you start saving a lot of money)
Other then that Softlayer and Voxel are my favorites (EC2 is by far my number 1 choice)

Professional MG Best Of dedicated server - OVHOriginally Posted by M a g i c
Robb has mentioned them before, and they are quite cheap, I just have issues with hosts that are cheap as they a lot of times end up being crappy...
Also, It's in Euro's is why it looks much cheaper. xD
I think I'll check amazon, I was kind of thinking of hosting it off one of my laptop w/ 16 gb of ram (Seeing also how my net speed here is awsome.) I could host a server from that, till I get some donations to get a dedicated host. Any thoughts on that?
Its about 80 usd, which is cheap... KG, u got a lappy with 16gigs ram? lol

Amazon is a very amazing server 'host', it just takes a bit of getting used to as they run very differently from other companies
5ms is what you would expect on a typical LAN, so yes that is very fast. Very low ping times like that are hard to accomplish over the internet
5ms is the lowest iv seen it for me.
its never over 30, even when my nets only running at 1mb total download speed >_> (measured by speed.io).
But OVH hosts in north france, and im in london, so its nearby.
So with the amazon if im correct, u pay per hour or per year?
