You're just making that up now.
Wedge:
He's actually correct, and that's why you can't copy a key file to another machine. It keeps people from just stealing your key. You need to physically enter it on every machine you are going to run a copy of Blockland on. However, one key could host an unlimited number of servers, so he could just have one copy of Blockland on the server that only he knew the key to. Managing auto-admin lists, etc, for each server would require some special script I imagine, if it's even possible.
If you're not comfortable entering your own key into a server someone else owns then shared dedicated hosting probably isn't for you though.

Thanks Wedge.
It's most likely a one-way encryption scheme that hashes a string containing hardware, OS, and the key itself.
It looks like a $11 first fee of the first month, then anything less than $11 from then on.

The CPU usage is okay, but what kind of upload speeds and bandwidth do you have? I doubt one connection will be able to run 30 x 15-20 users at any sort of decent playability for those connected.

100 mbps down/up. This is in a datacenter.
