RTB Dedicated Hosting Service
Lugnut:
what?
KINEX:
What I'm interested in knowing is how you are launching servers. By default, Blockland dedicated servers run on a logged in user's account - this costs more resources than necessary for advanced hosters. I've had moderate success in running Blockland servers as a service, however, the only way I have been able to do so is by circumventing the launcher. This is not ideal because it requires the server to be updated manually and it would generally be best to utilize the launcher.
I also see great potential in the control panel created to maintain the Blockland servers. I liken it to such a feature as McMyAdmin for Minecraft. Are there any plans to produce a portable version for everyday users?

The launcher "protocol" is very simple, and can easily be re-implemented with very little effort.

BLG was planning on providing something like that, but those plans are currently shelved indefinitely because of the limitations imposed by the gamemode system. Zack0Wack0 also made one hosted by the Blockland server itself, but then you (obviously) have to live with the limitations inherent to such a system (no start/stop/restart, no console, for example).
