I just wanted to let you know that Olsen and me are currently negotiating the last details for buying a complete dual core, 2 gigs ram 100% dedicated server pluged into 100 Mbit upstream no traffic limit connection at serverffs, which is the leading host for sa-mp.
Although nothing have been signed yet im pretty sure this will go through which will be the absolute best host solution there is on the market.
This is kind of exiting as i allways wanted the best server on the market at my hands
Additionel info on our own dedicated server - no one else is on the server,its ours:
Dualcore 2.0GHz - 100 euro a month Intel Pentium Dual 2GB of RAM 250GB harddisk 100 mbit Unmetered bandwidth France - olsen get a ping of 24 from denmark
Me and Olsen will cover it, we found a good way to finance it as we between us already pay that today for different hostings all around, like ventrilo, bf2, bfv servers ect, in this deal we just move all our servers to one place and get much better performance and net speed because server is dedicated, so you see this deal finances itself.
Also in time if the server gets popular we hope to sell some reserved samp player slots which will hopefully bring in some cash to even get better financing.
Hmm some bad news..The frencies dont have unlimited traffic anymore and no one else really which means we will have to pay 32 euros pr. terra byte of traffic. Im kindda bumbed we didnt take the frencies offer a month ago but nothing to do about that now.
Anyways it dosnt mean much for us now as we wont have much traffic but later on we have to make some calculations on how many player slots we can open, then if we wanna expand to like 200 players we can hopefully partly finance that by donations that gives reserved player slots.
