[0]8 vCPUs. MyHosting does not specify what kind of processor is used. This should not make any tangible difference - odds are the processor is better than the one in your computer.

I would never risk going with a VPS provider which uses vCPU's as a unit of measurement, unless they tell you what 1 vCPU equals. You never know if their nodes are oversold.

as opposed to a dedicated server which only allows for a specific set of resources at nearly twice the price.

This makes your hosting provider sound more suspicious. Dedicated servers should provide as much or better bang/buck than VPS'es.

I'm seeing the host you have chose has an average download speed of 1MB/s and upload speed of 217kB/s. I also talked to their support, which is really slow. I feel like I'm chatting with AT&T. According to support they give you a burstable 100mbps line, which does not guarantee that speed at all all the time.

Lugnut, it appears to be getting worse for you. We love servers is a small company, but has excellent customer service (avg. support ticket reply: 10 minutes). It gives you a 2.5 GB RAM Linux VPS for $15/month.

I originally intended to use this when I made HamHost, until I found out that the Ubuntu OS which I used could not hold more than 2-3 Blockland dedicated servers without crashing. When the VPS crashed, it took a tedious 20 minutes to reboot it. So how did you manage to run more than 3 servers on Linux?

So instead of MyHost, I suggest WLS.

Everyone above is wrong
RamNode has the greatest servers and even sells DDoS (TCP and UDP) protection.

The problem here is price, since Lugnut stated that at even $8/month, he doesn't make any profit.

And the fact you can rent your own for the same price like Darren and I stated earlier.

what does it matter he doesnt make any profit? RTB hosting came out to a stalemate by each month but the costs of the RTB website and add-on hosting is what made ephialtes lose from the entire thing. non-profit makes you look better and more dedicated.

He is making a profit, just a very small one.

Let's do a better test; this is how mine came out on DO.

Code: [Select]


Testing download speed........................................
Download: 520.81 Mbit/s
Testing upload speed..................................................
Upload: 178.56 Mbit/s

Install git if you don't already have it (apt-get install git)

git clone https://github.com/sivel/speedtest-cli.git

then cd to the folder and run ./speedtest_cli.py

I remember back in summer of 2012 Lub posted that he didn't plan on making any profit from his hosting, but Ephi and him made away with a bunch of profit lol.

[Hammereditor5]

Agreed.
Lub said after the end of RTB hosting that he used this server:
https://shp.servermania.com/order/product?p=566
It costs $140/month, and if Lub had 70 clients like he once claimed, the revenue would be $420/month, so the profit would be $280/month.

But my estimate of his clients may be wrong.

[Tezuni 2.0]

estimations suggest I won't even be making minimum wage (~$8/hr), profit-wise.)

that's a good one.  are you suggesting a profit that high for this so-called 'service' is reasonable?  i get you wana make money, but you need something to show for it.  right now all you got is nothing.

I think he meant $8/month, not $8/hour.

[Rub]

Can confirm RTB hosting averaged ~$100 profit a month. Servers for development, backups and main RTB were an additional $90 a month. Can also confirm we didn't make off with loads of profit!

Probably.  But to be blunt, Lug still comes across as a totally incompetent kid that wants everoyne to pile on his crappy choice of VPS on which he has slapped the label 'hosting service'.   There is no infrastructure, no development, nothing to show.  I said this before, but just to reiiterate, there is no need to go through Lug for hosting.  In fact, it would be more difficult to depend on him to maintain it and process everyone than it would be to just buy a vps and download blockland and your ftp program of choice if desired.
