Which are the NFO Competitors?

Post by Minecraft2207 »

Well i want to ask which are the main NFO Competitors?

I mean with almost the same caracteristics. Also i want to know why choose NFO against them.

I saw a website with the top 10 gameservers hosters. here is it: http://www.gsprating.com/category/top-10/

Why NFO is over all those 9 game server hosting companies?

P.S: i know that some of them only host an specifit games, so dont include them; since im seeking for dedicated or vps to host a gameserver and not a specifit game like counter-strike, or anything else offered here and in that hosters.

This would be a better question to ask on a 3rd-party site, such as WHT.

I wouldn't use that site for a reference of the top 10.

Why?

- GSP listed in 1st position has NO reviews
- GSP listed in 2nd position has 96 reviews and none are negative.
- GSP listed in 3rd position has been out of business for over a year.

Also, for the GSP listed in 2nd position, I have to assume the owner of GSPrating is biased towards them or being paid off by them. I myself posted a somewhat negative review where I would have probably reviewed them at a 2/5 rating. All reviews require approval from the owner of GSPrating, and mine was deleted. I posted it again 2 weeks later and it was deleted again. I tried to contact the owner of the site and he never bothered to reply.

As far as I can see, his list is flawed, it contains companies that aren't in business, and he apparently supports Fragnet over all others.

I personally wouldn't trust any of the several GSP specific review sites. Many are indeed biased and accept money for ads on their site from GSP's. Many also allow fake reviews which go un-moderated (I've seen this first hand) Not to mention some of the stuff pain pointed out.

Using sites such as WHT would be a good bet to find third-party reviews for us and other companies. I would also recommend checking out our user submitted flames and testimonials section.

We can all give you plenty of reasons on why to chose us but it might be best if I give you some specific things to look for in a company which we don't do or lie about. Then you can kind of judge for yourself.
  1. Do they claim to offer 24/7 award winning support, then display a "live chat offline" button next to it?
  2. Do they say that they've been in business for X amount of years but the domain has been registered for less?
  3. Do they offer nonspecific free DDoS protection with your package? (biggest giveaway they have no idea what there doing)
  4. Do they offer unbeatable deals and then give coupon codes on top of that?
Of course, if you have any specific questions please ask them and we'd be happy to answer.

Hey Kraze do you guys have a link for NFO banners?
I have added many other GSP banners to our site, but just realized I don't have any of NFO's.

Yep - Fragnet purchased the company from Xfactors new owner Brett.
Brett purchased the company and later decided to sell it to Fragnet.
He works with Fragnet now.

I used to be with then for a while,brett was helpful,but aside that nfo offers more bang for ur buck,top hardware and excellent support,the only reason why i liked fragnet 2nd to nfo was that it supported UK and EU servers.
