Dedicated Order Inquiry

Post by mackry »

Hi there,

So the FAQ says that none of your servers have a setup-fee except for your reseller programs; however, your dedicated servers have a $79 setup-fee. Are these servers from a reseller program?

Also, how would I go about adding a coupon on my order?

Thanks!

The FAQ may be referring to game servers, or it might be outdated data from when we ran a special on dedicated servers. Can you link me to it?
Also, how would I go about adding a coupon on my order?
At the bottom of the order page for a game/voice/website/VDS, there is a field for "Coupon" code. Full dedicated servers are not currently set up to support coupons (and we haven't issued any for them as a result).

Q: I've noticed most places charge some sort of one-time setup fee -- do you?
A: NuclearFallout does not charge setup fees except for its reseller program.

If this is true as it is stated by you guys, I want to order a dedicated one right now.

Ah. Yes, that's actually a very old FAQ, from before we even offered dedicated servers (back then, we only offered game servers).

This is the page that the one you're reading was linked from, and it explains the situation on that: http://www.nfoservers.com/faqs.php

Dedicated servers do indeed have a setup fee. We go into some detail about it here: http://www.nfoservers.com/forums/viewto ... =48&t=3704

If you'd like a similar experience without a setup fee, have you considered one of our Virtual Dedicated Server packages? These do not have setup fees and have very similar performance, lower price points and generally better values, and better scalability.

I've been looking into VPS, they are very attractive. But as I read reviews across the internet about gameservers being hosted on VPS servers, it sounds as if many have had bad experiences with lag and poor preformance. What do you make of this? I'm looking to hold up to 500+ simultaneous connections.

Anyway, if I were to order a dedicated right now in Dallas, when do you think I could have it up?

The VPS's here are more like VDS, virtual dedicated servers. Each OS has a set amount of resources available to it so it cannot use other peoples resources on the same machine. It is also set up to run game servers. They are talking about website hosts and non GSPs. If you only need a few servers and the location is there then that would be best. Its also instant setup and a dedicated may take a few days. Once setup, the server installs are already done for you.
