Yet Lower Prices and VPS sale!

We have new, lower 2010 prices for Armagetron hosting and a sale on Virtual Private Servers.

New Prices & VPS Hosting

In addition to our new, lower 2009 prices for Armagetron hosting, we now have begun offering Virtual Private Servers, currently only in the USA.

US Demo Server

We now have a demo Armagetron server at our new US east coast datacenter.

New York Server Replaced

Due to poor performance from the New York datacenter beyond our control, it has been replaced with a new server in Connecticut.

Happy New Year!

Hope you had a merry Christmas! To start off the new year, we are adding a new site in New York. Just let us know if you prefer this location when you sign up for service!

Service bots!

Today we added support for external service bots. What does this mean for you? It means you can write an in-game service in almost any programming language: C, C++, Perl, PHP, Python, etc... even BASH! As long as it compiles and runs on Debian GNU/Linux, you can have it accessible to players on your server. Feel free to contact me if you want to set it up on your server or would like details on how it works.

Inflation

Due to the US dollar slowly but surely becoming worthless, and the fact that the Canadian dollar has surpassed the US dollar in value, our US dollar prices have changed. Existing customers can continue paying their old prices for the time being (unless the USD drops significantly more and this becomes impractical).

Not So Negative Pings

Yeah, it was a nice idea, but unfortunately isn't possible. Hope you enjoyed April Fools' Day.

Negative Pings!

We now feature negative pings for all our game server hosting. With this new patented technology, called Predictive Time Displacement, our servers are capable of reducing lag to the point where it is completely non-existent. You can't get this anywhere else, folks, so contact me today for your lag-free game hosting!

Accepting Hungarian Forints and PayPal

Due to customer interest, we are now accepting Hungarian forints via PayPay. You can also pay in other currencies we accept via PayPay.

Free Trials!

For a limited time, we are offering free 1 week trials of our Armagetron hosting. No obligations, but availability is limited so hurry!

Free MOO Hosting

I'm a fan of MOOs, but haven't done much with them in quite some time. I remember back when I hosted MOOs how hard it was to find a free host (they really don't even use a lot of resources!), so... Free MOO hosting is available! Let me know about your MOO and see if I'm interested in hosting it ;)

Austrailia Hosting

Interested in an Armagetron server located in Austrailia? If you're willing to commit to 3 months of a 32-slot server capped at 10 GB transfer per month, let me know.

Promotion

We are running a promotion! Get your first month of Armagetron hosting at a reduced rate :)

More Fiat Currencies Accepted

In an attempt to make things easier for customers located outside the US, we are now looking to accept other international fiat currencies. Due to the regional availability of our hosting services, we are now accepting Canadian dollars and Euros.

Europe Hosting Now Available

Not only do we offer low-ping US game hosting, but we have expanded our offering to Europe as well. You can now request to have your game hosted in either the US or Europe. Existing customers may request a one way transfer to our new Europe server gratis. Future transfers will be subject to a service charge of $1.

Real Money Now Accepted

We now accept and encourage payment using real money instead of fiat U.S. Dollars. Payments using real money may be made using either eLibertyDollar (American Liberty Dollars) or Pecunix (gold).

Price Increase

In order to meet the costs of running the hosting business, we will need to increase our prices. Some of our rates have been updated, and the others will follow suit over the next month or so.

Freeciv Hosting

We are now offering hosting for Freeciv servers. Due to the unknown resource usage, our prices are very high, but we will retroactively reduce our prices once these variables are determined. Please see the Freeciv page for more details.

Other Games

We are considering offering hosting for other games such as BZFlag. Please let me know if you are interested in hosting for other games.
