Jus' putting this here to say if anyone does want to buy a VPS off a company, I will set it up for them. So you don't need to worry about it.

These guys have decent VPS for 29.99 per month. I am renting one, I just got it a week ago.
I had 20 players on today, it seems great, and has not crashed on me yet.
If you want to pay more, they have all kinds of server options.. The guys who run this small company are fast with support. They give you a free 2 day trial, witch is great too.
The setup only took like 20 mins, the automated system installs what ever OS you want.. I'm running windows server 2003 64 bit.. They also have a donation system for clans or who ever to donate too.

Private NJ is hosted on Linode (referral link) and is pretty awesome for $20/month. The amount of memory is a bit low, but the CPU performance is usually excellent.

Oh another thing, I really would recommend getting a Linux Server instead of Windows. Windows uses a lot of resources and doesn't give you the best performance for your applications.

My [WA] Meltdown 2, [WA] Smackdown server is empty most of the time now, so my bandwidth ussage is low or almost 0. I"m paying 15 bucks per month for a cheap Light Hyper V.
Its seems fast and is located in seattle..
I doubt you can do much better than that.
If things don't pick up around here in the next month or two, I'm shutting it down.

Try a windows or Linux vps with 1core, 512mb ram, unmetered bandwidth, running out of Texas, and 60 gb hard drive (plenty to run a legions server) for only 10 bucks! I call that good stuff bro!

just a heads up , if you go w/ a VPS server. You need to make sure you choosing a company that is not overselling their VMs. I have run into this problem before. Many VPS's will , by their nature, have some latensy added because of network and cpu buffering. remeber the best servers will be on dedicated servers hosted in a datacenter. (you might be able to slide if you have a decent linux server and fiber optic home internet).

If you paying someone else to host your server you will want to run linux. If you dont know why, then just my word for it.

they also dont protect your privacy when uncle sam comes knocking asking for the logs to the shell you have been using to control your floodnet, not that i would know anything about that ....

I switched to UCVhost.com. 15 bucks per month, windows or linux options.
I'm running windows server 2003, 2 games off one box, using the HyperVLite, option.
It seems fast, but its never been tested with more than 16 players.
The 2 games I run are this and Legends, neather of witch need much power right now or ever have.
I would switch to your recommended one, if they offered windows servers for 10 bucks. :cool:
