Pavillin Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 Hello all I done with our current host, I need a new one. I want to be able to run 2-3 server and have 100% control over EVERYTHING! I have heard www.soyoustart.com is a really good place. I have only rented servers and have never had full control. On that website it says 'Dedicated Server' and 'Game Server' I'm not really sure what I pick. Any help regarding this would be perfect! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richie Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 You want a dedicated server, also try https://www.kimsufi.com/uk/ OVH, SYS and Kimsufi are all owned by OVH, difference is service levels and other features not required when hosting an Arma server Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What dedicated server would you recommend on SYS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theduke Posted January 27, 2016 Report Share Posted January 27, 2016 i have a dedicated server through soyoustart, and since you are canadian it would be in your best interest. You can pay in CDN. I've never had problems with them so far. When i started i had to ask a few questions they were very helpful, and answered fast. The ONLY thing i was not impressed with, is while i did my research, i thought i was able to get a windows licence through them. But because im in canada, i was not able to. Found this out after my purchase. They were willing to refund me if i wasnt able to find one. I was lucky to have a friend that had a win 8 client licence kicking around. So i use windows 8 client. But honestly, they are the best ive encountered so far. EDIT: As for your needs. i run 2 servers on the box no problems. Im not sure how it would handle 3. they would need to have a low amount of players i would assume. GL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one paying for it is in the UK and the server will be hosted in Europe. We plan on running two servers and a third just as a test(offline most of the time) which would you recommend because I've never got a dedicated server before Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was my first time doing such a thing, knowing so i would of called. I just got lucky a friend had a win8 key. Im running package 2. Its plenty for 2 servers and a test server.

theduke Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 that is a dedicated server. all you need is the windows licence. im pretty sure they dont supply it. Cheaper to buy a win 8 key for the long run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also have to find all the drivers by yourself ^^ Edit: MC-32 to be exact, on OVH.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
