RTB Dedicated Hosting Service - Service Closing

[Reinforcements]

Please don't purchase a server until further notice as we're at full capacity again.

Dang, I guess I should have ordered last night...

Will you be getting more capacity any time soon?

I don't think we have the demand to justify the purchase of another 30 slot server at the moment so I think it'll be a case of waiting for someone else's contract to expire before you can purchase a server. I'll have a think about it and maybe I can figure something out.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

Add more features and see if demand rises?

[DYLANzzz]

Um, I'd pay a bit more for your servers? (Just saying)
Is there any sort of donate feature?

Unfortunately due to the way our provider manages their billing, a new 30 slot server has a large initial cost, donations wouldn't cover that, or the recurring monthly cost. An extra node would only be added if demand was capacity + ~15%

It might be a stupid question, but is it possible to change the colorset. I tried every way I could think of and it hasn't worked.

Ahhhhh, noooooo!

Is anyone expiring soon? I need hosting real soon!

I believe so. Isn't it in the options or something?

I did that and it didn't change anything.

I did that and it didn't change anything.

Blockland Folder > Config > Server. Then replace Colorset.txt with the custom Colorset.txt you want. You'll have to extract it out of your Custom paint file (TruenosColorset.zip for example.)

Thanks, I knew there was a way.

[Blooker]

Why would you even need to do this?
Decals serve no purpose on servers.

I couldn't get some custom decals to work on my server

I uploaded all my add-ons through ftp and now for some reason the server won't finish booting? Did I mess something up?

Just saw that and fixed it for you. It's because you removed the System_RTBHosting.zip add-on. I shut down your server, hit the update button (which replaces it) and started it and it's booted fine now. I'll make a change soon to auto-replace that add-on whenever someone starts their server as this seems to come up a fair bit.

Both servers are identical, 3.4GHz quad core, 16GB DDR3, 1TB hard drive. Both nodes have around 30 Blockland servers on them. Our original limit was 20 but this was a guess on resource usage, so after spending a couple of months looking at statistics, we've settled on a limit of 30-35 servers per node.

Looks like it's time to expand.

Have a read of what Rub wrote here.

Like I said, I'll have a think about this and see what I can come up with. I may end up just covering the initial cost of a new node myself.
