How does that work then? It's something I know little about.

At the regular price of 49p a slot is that a monthly fee inc VAT?

And does that mean if I wanted to open a 20 slot CoD2 server it would cost me a tenner a month?

Cos I can't find any CoD2 servers to play deathmatch with all maps and all weapons, they all seem customised or rifles only.

My other forum actually has a server that meets those requirements but it's in Texas which means my ping is 160 and the time difference means there's rarely anybody on it during my waking hours.

Im not sure but it seemed cheap to me?

Maybe a minimum amount of slots per server i'm not sure

Maybe a phone call would be in order?

Im taking for granted 1 slot = 1 player?

It does say inc VAT doesnt it?

Those prices are before VAT @ 15%.

That is very cheap for the spec of the systems they are touting..... I'd be interested in playing on one of there servers, gonna go and try a test server in a bit.... Not sure how their making money tbh....

and ya TD one slot is one player.

So its a good post then?

I wasnt sure you see so thats why i brought it out into open.
Get some opinions as I know a few lieke yaself V_R play multi quite a lot

BTW just had another look see and it does state

"Change host now and you will benefit from our crazy prices! Pay just £0.49 per slot (inc. VAT)"

SO only if your on a server already and change over to them?

Well i'm curious.....

I run three game servers (2 CoD5, 30 Slot, 32 slot and a Cod4 20 slot server) + a 20 slot teamspeak server from Gaming Deluxe. Im not saying what i pay but its not the standard rate.

The thing about changing GSP is that you cant take your ip with you, and them your new server will be ranked very low, meaning it may not be seen in the server list. so all the hard work done before will be wasted.

I cant help thinking their boxes are going to be overloaded or their network is ropey etc... I also notice they are brand new, so will they last?

Im gonna do some digging....

I understand mate but money is money and eventually if your team is good you will work your way back up again

lol, its more numbers on servers tbh mate.

Im very happy with GD, w00ders a good lad and Servers are top notch, and when needed support etc is fantastic.

i'd be cautious as they have just started up, many GSP's go under quickly.....

Alright V_R, bottom line, how much on average monthly to run a 20 slot server?

Don't be shy
