Managed game server dedicated servers and VDSes

Post by Edge100x »

We're officially rolling out managed game server dedicated servers and VDSes!

A managed game server machine is one which doesn't provide direct administrator/root access, but does allow the renter to create as many game servers as he or she would like, to be put onto that machine. Each game server can be manipulated via our normal control panel.

This means that these work great if you'd like the power and ease of use of the NFO control panel, coupled with the cost savings of having your own full machine/VDS.

We provide some more details on how these work in our knowledgebase.

In celebration of this new service, we're also offering a special sale -- free standard setup on Windows managed game server machines!

Also, I forgot to mention above -- current customers of 2+ core VDSes can also convert to the new managed option, if they'd like. This can be done through the "Server control" page in the control panel, where it is treated as a separate OS install. (A full change order request via the ordering page is not needed.)

Wow, this is a shocking announcement.
Not many people offer this option, seems like you worked very hard to make this possible John :).

I did my best to get it out there :).

We've had many customers ask about this option, since BC2 can't be run on a traditional unmanaged dedicated server -- it's frustrating having a whole box and not being able to run what you want. This makes it possible, and also gives people our control panel, which is a commonly asked-for option.

You have certainly made things available for our customers. And I speak only for myself as an employee but your the best boss out there :)

Thanks John
