For the 3rd time, ServerMania isn't a sensible choice. |

So even if the DDoS lasts for 24 hours and does not come back again, the IP address will not get re-connected? Aside from that, how good was their customer support when you used them? Servermania says the payment is still being verified... EDIT: Server mania just sent an e-mail saying that the payment needs photo ID authorization, and they will cancel the order 10 hours from now if it's not verified. This is an opportunity to just not verify, and choose a different VPS provider after they cancel. Is this a good idea? I'm starting to loathe their DDoS policy. |

THEY DO NOT AUTHENTICATE GAMES. Does that make sense? You CANNOT use that steam API to AUTHENTICATE a game. This is why sites such as http://www.counter-strike.com/dedicated_servers/ give you a whole server computer itself. YOU CAN authenticate a game using a steam username and password. Considering how many people might buy the game from steam, some might want a dedicated hosting service in the future, and turning them away isn't the best idea for hammereditor. I hope you understand what hammer's trying to say now. Honestly, i don't know how he will do it without violating the steam terms of service. Also, you don't have to have a biased attitude. "0/10 would not use this service" for a stupid reason? Doesn't make sense. Of course, I will never understand people like you. Never mind. Hammer is offering non-steam based servers anyway. Ridiculous comments. |
