Demi Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I will start by saying - SORRY as this has probably been asked before. However, after dealing with a certain company (FPG in short) who left me really annoyed with lack of support and the server not restarting for 8 hours... I tried and tried and tried - but nothing! Anyway, what it comes down to is... Which server host would be the best? I want "some" one click installs and good response times for support... That's it. At the minute I am considering the following: - Arctic Servers - Swiftnode - Vert Hosting - GTX Gaming Thanks, Demi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sp4rkY Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 I dont know where you from but for german or europe hosting i would suggest G-Portal, otherwise u could try GTX-Gaming. Rent a 4 slot server and check out how its running, before u want to start great and get disappointment. Dunno how the pings of G-Portal are in international way, but its a good hoster. cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrey Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Demi In our last admin meetings a couple of the top guys talked about: http://www.soyoustart.com/en/offers/e3-sat-3.xml It gonna come down to budget and what you want to do from a hosting perspective. Making the transition from player to hoster is a long and sometimes hard road, alot of fun tho! Quick plug: If your looking for a good server hope on ad check us out! I may also be setting up my own hosting services so watch this space ;) Good luck. Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Me and 3 others have been playing EPOCH for years and already have a gaming community set up with a good amount of players. So we thought, why not an ARMA 3 EPOCH server?! Just makes sense... We want to provide a good admin presence, interaction with the community and a good server to play on.

Although what I can make out it looks good. I have seen MANY bad reviews for GTX Gaming? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted June 24, 2015 Report Share Posted June 24, 2015 Vert always have consistent good reviews for support from the many many previous threads like this, I've never used them so i can't vouch. However, if you're serious about running a top notch server then get a dedicated and have all the resources of that machine, shared hosting has shared resources, what your neighbour does will affect your performance.

1Man Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I love my Xeon but I just got one of those so installing OS now so hope to have the server up in a few hours. Gonna compare both of the servers and FYI it's really OVH and I went with the 3 x 120gb SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Man Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Well so far I am pretty impressed, seems to run about the same from OVH that I have now but much cheaper. Upload does seem to be a tad low testing to the U.S. Around 20mb so I may have to test a few more sites in the U.S. before I determine the validity of this issue. I recommend using process lasso to kick the CPU into full potential. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richie Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 I would also suggest http://oneprovider.com/ They're a reseller of all the big companies but have some cracking deals, support is also top notch, I've used them lots over the years, I can get OVH/Kimsufi/SYS servers cheaper through them as they don't charge me V.A.T :D 20% saving straight away for people in the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1Man Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 Hey Richie trying to find the deals you are taking about, I couldn't find one even close to the price of 51 a month for 4core Xeon 16gb ram and 3x 120gb SSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 There's a Intel Xeon E3-1240v3 3.40Ghz + ILO with 2x 600GB SAS 10K HW RAID 1 - 32GB RAM on a 1Gbit port for €50 or (£35.58) or ($56.04) Zero setup fee and no contract hosted in France, that's a cracking deal :) or for the same price have 2 x 120GB SSD with HW raid, OVH are usually SW raid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demi Posted June 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 27, 2015 Thanks to you all for your comments - gone with Vert Hosting or now, just as I'm new to this and they've been great. The servers are really good for what I need! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knights†emplar Posted June 29, 2015 Report Share Posted June 29, 2015 Honestly if you want quick support stay away from Vert, the worse customer service , I haven't been with them a month, I am looking for alternative, very slow in replying to ticket, BEC breaks all the time, DB hosted somewhere else not on same box, its never ending battle,the only thing is i am not hosting arma 3 epoch , i am hosting dayz vanilla so I dont know if epoch a3 will be any better, I know I wont get another server from them.. I wish xstreamgaming would offer servers they were the best.. Tywin 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wish xstreamgaming would offer servers they were the best.. Honestly, so far they've been great. In terms of support tickets, they do take a few hours to get back to me (they are in a completely different timezone) but always with a resolution if I need it. Though I've not needed them as much as I thought I would. Arma 3 EPOCH server runs great and hasn't had any issues so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
