CSS servers now up

It's colocation - so rather than rent a dedi server you buy your own dedi and then pay a datacentre to host it for you. To be honest, I've no idea of decent datacentres in the US but you could ask on isphostingtalk (apologies if that name is slightly wrong - I've forgotten the website url). By the sounds of it you're paying out a huge amount of cash so you'd definitely be better off with colocation. Even renting a dedi would be cheaper, but colo is definitely the best choice.

One thing to keep in mind if you go the dedi/colo route though: You will need a reasonable level of technical expertise and time to install and configure everything. I'm sure Link can testify to this :p

Thanks again. Though I'm not sure my 'expertise' can stretch to setting up a whole dedicated server so I might have to just rent one from a host. I'm ready to learn though if it's worth it.

At the moment our outgoings are massive. $1000 for the forum skin, $200 for forum license (one offs) and then about $500 a month just on servers. Who'd think we were in the economy we are? :o

That's rather insane.

If you have a similar outgoings requirement in future, let me know and I can sort you out a better deal :) I do a fair bit of freelance stuff semi-related to this kind of thing so I can point you in the right direction without charging (unless you want me to build everything for you of course) :)
 
Just had a little play on the server :)

Is it just me, but is the buy time at the start of the round too short. Or am I just getting slow in my old age! :D

Take a look at the offers section - you'll be amazed what you can get. Just avoid the fly-by-night companies, who appear to be offering something that's too good to be true.
 
Good games tonight guys. I'm sure the hit reg on that server is far better than any other server I've been on recently. Hope you all found it good as well.

Remember tomorrow night's game at half 8 :)

And Antar, get some practice in :p

What sort of game do you mean? Just on which ever server for anyone that turns up? I will probably come on. We need to get these servers more active :(

At some point I'd like people to try to play regularly on one of the servers for a couple of weeks to entice pub players on. Once they know of one then each server advertises the others as well, hopefully attracting them to the others. A prize for the most regular player could be admin capability on the css servers ;)

The server we'll be on tonight is OcUK 1. The office server. The first post in this thread has the IP. If we decide to play other maps then we can move onto ocuk2 (dust2) or ocuk 3 (rotation) afterwards, depending on what people want to play.
 
Well i will almost definitely be up for a game. What server are you gonna be on?

Don't have a team so never playing matches, so i will play regularly on the public servers if we can gather enough people :)
