RTB Dedicated Hosting Service

[Bester Bageler]

Question: Lets say you buy a server and want a friend to have it. How exactly after buying it would you give it to them?
Also is there any chance a year of hosting could be added since I find having to guess which date you need to renew it would be a pain. Or can you buy 4 three months and have your said server last for a year with having to punch in your key once?

You can't transfer ownership of a server but what you can do is give a user full permissions for your server. They'll be able to do everything you can do except deal with billing.

At the moment you can only buy 3 months but the number of days remaining on the contract is shown in the interface and you do get emails reminding you that your contract will be ending soon so it shouldn't be too much of a pain.

Not sure you should be copying anyone, let alone running a hosting service until you learn about CPUs, cores and threads. How embarrassing for you to be shown up so badly after spending 10 minutes telling me I don't know anything, awkarddd.

Where's kaphost.com, testing delays I assume?

Developing publicly probably isn't a good idea when people already are checking up on the url.

So when will this service be ready?

We're excited to finally be launching the first professional dedicated hosting service for the Blockland community and from the response in this thread we're certainly not alone. Our next update will be in the launch thread, see you there!!!

If your server is running when your service expires, is it shut down right there and then? Or is there a warning like "If you do not pay within the next 4 hours your server will be shut down."

I liked it with Kalphiter I could get 3 free days of hosting before he found out.

[Ephialtes]

I can't remember the exact timings on this but you'll have 48 hours to pay from when your contract officially ends to your server being shut down, and then a further 48 hours to pay before your server is removed from the node it's deployed on. The release thread will have all these details.

Yeah but the other day whilst telling loads of people how good his service was he told them kaphost.com would launch that day, awks.

[Scout31]

Ah, that is awkward
