HamHost Dedicated Blockland servers | New poll: More free-user features?
BlockoBlocko:
Honestly, I am just going to stick with RTB Hosting. I would rather pay 15 dollars per 3 months because it has a good system.
RTB hosting is way easier and faster to use. It has it's own program for uploading addons, controlling the server preferences, you can see the chat history, etc.
Also, I am a Mac user, and that doubles up why it's so hard for me to do stuff with my server.
Nice service, Hammereditor. Sorry.

There are about 27 servers on the master list which are hosted from RTB, and 25 of those are probably clients.
If those clients pay $6/month, then it would be $150 of income and Lub would lose $150/month, if he has to pay $300 for the servers.

RTB hosts over one hundred servers, whether or not they are up at the time is irrelevant. One hundred times five dollars per month (assuming everyone orders the three month, cheap package [conservative estimate]) is five hundred dollars per month (on average). Their old NY01-03 servers at HL cost approximately one hundred a month per server, resulting in two hundred a month surplus. I'm not yet educated on the costs of their new NY04-05 prices, but from what I've gathered they're slightly more expensive but only two are required to do the job. No matter what way you look at it, RTB turns a profit.
This profit, however, does not go to the devs. It goes back into the community.

I don't think I have the time to do it. I'm sure someone will be able to make your service tits up. You don't have the professions Lub and Ephialtes does. This is going to go tits up like your past fail attempts. #Embarrassing

How can you say this when it hasn't failed yet?

It's just how it ends up. It'll fail, no doubt.
