(I bet this is gonna start a riot but I don't care.)
What should badspot add? Dedicated server hosting.
You would still be able to make the dedicated servers the old way.
If this idea gets approved, then they will be 5 types of hosting.Free

Servers: 3
Website addition: No

Well, thats all I have to say.

RTB Hosting, Kaphost, and if they have slots, CBMHost (i think that's what it's called?) and HamHost.

A lot of the restrictions and features you listed make no sense.

Also, nobody will ever need 5GB for addons, let alone 60GB. There's a good chance that 10GB of addons haven't even been created yet.

Unless its an addon filled server.

blockland add-ons are really just not that big

even my huge bloated add-ons folder that's never been cleaned out since v10 before cache.db (it has tons of misc. resource files and a TON of music files) is only around 1.9GB.

Unless its an addon filled server.
There's a dtablock limit you know. I doubt you could enable more than 1GB of add-on stuff at once.
Also, if I would pay $70 I'd want my server to be up 24/7. That's what it's a dedicated server for.
Also, being able to host 20 servers at once? Who the hell would need that?
Also 50GB ram is insane and I don't even think it's possible since it's not a power of 2.

Why the hell would you even need more than 2 GB of RAM for blockland? I thought the max was around 1.2 GB or somewhere around there

Shaders? Possibly? I can't run Shaders, btw

For the server. So if they are a lot of lag related problems then it will be fixed.

Actually the RAM is designed to keep the program open. The only way for lag to occur is if you have a slow network speed, have stuffty hardware,  or something else

No, he is actually right about that. Even if you have a fast Internet connection, your server will still be laggy when hosting if you don't have enough RAM. When hosting a server, RAM is required to run the program to do the hosting, which requires RAM. But for Blockland, the most you'd probably ever need for anything would be 8 gigs (and even that's probably a bit much).

I stand corrected

When rtbhosting gets refined more it should get an official link
