Silkroad Dedicated Host

Hello guys i'll open new server soon but i want get a good host and also with a good price.
well i know some of u got servers ..
[ put the host name below ]
and tell me which [ plan u use ]
and how many players can enter ur server [ without laag ]

so pro.
better don't open a server tell you have some knowledge
Regards

Some reliable hosts:
Limestone Network
SoftLayer
ServerLoft
DatabaseByDesignLLC
WorldStream
HostKey
Staminus
Gigenet
Burst.net
Netrouting

Avoid these:
OVH & OVH resellers
Kimsufi & Kimsufi resellers
Server4you
Hetzner & resellers
Giga-International

What to look for in hardware:
-avoid desktop CPUs (i3, i5, i7 etc.), get a server with Xeon or Opteron
-ECC memory is very important
-if you have more than one HDD, get hwraid1
-and I would say 1gbps connection is needed for smooth gameplay.

You are saying avoid server4you - choose Serverloft.
They are the same companies, server4you is the lower one. But I would recommend you both.

Btw: @seven16
It's really expensive :D

oO Not as I expected, It's cheap enough. :) (It's a promotion i think)
But do you think SATA HDD is enough? I think at least a SAS disk is required for non-delayed gameplay.

I don't think that they are the same companies.. o.O maybe they are just located at the same DC?

I'm sure they are the same, I'm not sure if theyre using the same DC but submit tickets from both of them and same person will reply them :) I've asked them before, they're calling themselves 'sister companies' :)
Yet, I didn't have any problems with both of them.
