*Free FTP storage*

Hosted in St Louis, Missouri, this is a top-of-the-line server to host a dedicated server for people. It includes console access (executable JAR with console viewing, start/stop, and eval usage), remote starting / stopping, and FTP access. The server itself has about 16 GB of memory and a octocore CPU, which can support about 75 Blockland servers. Each player has a few gigabytes of space to utilize. There is no set limit on disk usage, but it must be reasonable.

Why use a remote server?
This server has a networking capability to hold 2,875 players spread across all servers (based on 3.2mbps per 100 players, total 92mbps). The server alone is capable of holding 900 players (based on memory).

What happens on lower-tier residential connections is that they fall short of a server in a datacenter. Residential connections do not provide as fast ping times and bandwidth speeds than this server.



Next, this server has a backup power supply along side many other servers, which means (1 high uptime, around 99% and (2 a large group of people ready to fix an outage.

Clients may request a free Mumble server. Feel free to suggest or request things for you or the service.

There is a limit of 1.67GB RAM per server. This is the game's limit; these servers are capable of hosting up to 99 players. For New Years' 2011, I reached 107 players, it was the first time in history that it happened. I could only keep 99 because of the memory limitation:


(topic for the party, 2011)


For 2012, I went even higher with 127 players without crashing. I broke the previous record of 107. I changed a switch in the EXE to allow more memory, however clients have to specifically request the switch change.

--- Quote from: Fredulus on January 27, 2011, 08:17:56 PM ---Shortly after receiving payment Kalph set up my server, and without much trouble I started it and connected. Kalph also connected and helped me with a few things, the process was very smooth. The server is pretty much lag-free so far. Transferring add-ons is very easy (it's worth noting RTB is included by default). I'll give a more complete review after I've used it for a few days/weeks.

--- Quote from: Plexious on September 05, 2012, 08:39:22 PM ---Great service. Over the year I've had my server up, my ping has always been around 20 and I haven't gotten any lag even on servers with over 50 players. My server has never had any problems besides Blockland's own issues. I highly recommend buying this service if you plan on hosting any kind of server.

10/10, would buy again.

Send a PM to me or an e-mail to support with these details: an e-mail address to which invoices will be sent, an e-mail address for server notifications (for expiration notices, etc...), and what you want to buy.
The paying e-mail address doesn't have to be PayPal linked, but you must use PayPal (does not require account) to pay. Use a debit/credit card or bank account to pay.



Trial
Just buy 1 month of service and if you don't like it within 5 days, money back. Some post-refund period exceptions made.

Support



Support e-mail the fastest way to get support (better than PM or posting here). Always include server name (ie blockland99) when needing assistance with your server.

My server is online, where is it?
Most likely the server is alive but it had problems communicating with the master server.

You probably can just try webcom_postserver(); in your server's console. Try it a few times until it reappears on the list.

If you haven't changed the port which you're not allowed to, you can use this forumula to connect: 3(Blockland##)00. If I were Blockland03, then my port would be 30300.
Click "Connect to IP", then type the following in the IP box and replace "port" appropriately: 69.64.43.11:port

I just got my server, now what?
The first course of action you want to take is to set your key. Your key, not your BLID. It is recommended to do it right after you start it. You can set your key by inserting this into remote console, quotes included: setKey("KEYHERE");
You can also do it here.

Blockland will reload. You now own the server, and may rejoin.

Important thing to remember is that your port has to be set correctly for this to work.

How do I upload files?
I suggest using FileZilla for using FTP. Once it's installed, click "File", then click "Site Manager"
Next, fill in the appropriate credentials.

The duplicator isn't working, how do I fix it?
This is a problem of many dedicated servers:
--- Quote from: Warground on January 05, 2011, 06:23:48 AM ---Just load a save (a 1 brick save is enough)

--- End quote ---

How do I load saves faster?
Put the save file into base/server/temp/temp.bls then type /reloadbricks while in your server

Why is the BLRC screen blank?
Click on the edges as if you were going to resize it
DrenDran:
Interesting, I see this is the new official topic.
Demian:
My connection to my server timed out and now the server isn't in the list anymore. Crashed it appears.

heedicalking:
I keep crashing whenever I have about 30 people. It pisses me off to maximum extent. Anyone else have this? mass lag?
