--- Quote from: Subpixel on February 15, 2014, 07:03:13 PM --- Why don't people just use VPS servers for now? It would probably be better actually. --- End quote --- Because it's fuggin expensive? I might be misreading something here, but the windows VPS's start at $35. For just one server? Hell no. Who wants to pay $35 for just one server they have to manage by themselves with only the help forum to aid them? If you're a power user, able to host via wine under linux, you're still running it yourself... but you're probably already doing something like that! --- Quote from: -Jetz- on February 15, 2014, 07:05:41 PM ---If you rush it and it forgets up and you have to compensate people it might not be a great start monetarily, but that risk is up to you, and so is the one of pouncing on the opportunity just as RTB goes down vs avoiding bad first impressions. --- End quote --- Rushing is not precisely the same as getting the job done quickly. But yes, I see your point. --- Quote from: -Jetz- on February 15, 2014, 07:05:41 PM ---Think it should at least be kinda polished when money is involved. Don't need the lovely interface but at least a functional one that has what's needed to provide a decent service. Would prefer to have stuff like autosave, chat, and admin controls, even if it doesn't look great as long as it works. --- End quote --- How would you rate Kaphost for "functional that has what's needed to provide a decent service"? |

I would pay for a clean, well tested, and polished service. I think the demand and need for a new hosting service is high. I think for now, the Blockland community needs something which doesn't have to be polished and so upscale, it just needs to do the job. I think a modern, polished, and well tested service can wait. CBMHost is the only hosting service left as of now, and it does not have the server capacity to hold any more clients. We definitely need something else, whether it be clean or quick and dirty looking - it just has to do the job. Too many hosts rely on hosting services here, it is like growing corn without the soil. |

I think that something that gets more polished over time will work best |
