[cod] COD4 Server hosting recommendations

Hi Guys..,



I don't know If I should be asking this here, so please forgive me if I
shouldn't..<grin> To pre-empt my question...



I have my own Linux server at home where I used to host COD4 for friends (5
seemed to be the limit due to bandwidth), but the download speed of maps etc
was way too slow.



So I decided to purchase a COD4 Hosting pack... all good.... Nice fast
redirects, custom mods and maps etc... but, the server was not listed on the
in game internet games server.



So, decided to change providers after my subscription was up... found a
nice one, well within budget, and straight away, was listed in the "in game"
server list, got loads of players.... according to gametracker has over

17000 individual player names in 4 months.... my own rcon has tracked over
8000 GUID's (mine is only on when my pc is on - see earlier post... it's
getting their... but still in alpha testing)



But custom maps and mods are nearly impossible to get up and running....
only conclusion I can come to is the host is windows based and not Linux.
The tech support is excellent, but I don't have the time to go back and
forth through tech support whenever I want to try a new mod, especially when
I can get the same mod working on my Linux server....



So, my dilemma....



I would like a host with fast redirects, Linux based, will be listed on the
"in game" server list, unbranded, public server, and team speak to boot.



So, can any one point me in the right direction?



Any recommendations on game hosts?



Many thanks



Regards



Steve

Google "dedicated server provider", any provider worth their salt will
offer linux servers. Find one in the location you want your server,
or somewhere central (Texas, Chicago) if you've got people all over
the country (or world).

Rudedog @ FPSAdmin (and frequent contributor here) recommends Server
Beach: http://www.fpsadmin.com/sb/

I host Ventrilo and Teamspeak commercially and personally recommend
SoftLayer: http://www.softlayer.com

I'd recommend you get 64 bit OS, pick something with good long term
support like CentOS or Ubuntu LTS (LTS = Long Term Support), or
something easy to upgrade remotely.

As for Teamspeak, expect this to change when 3.0 comes out, but
currently you can host your own for non-profit use up to 100 slots.
Make sure you read the licensing agreement closely, they will
blacklist you if you violate it.

Good luck!

Last time I looked into it the TS website said up to 1000 slots or 10, 100
slot servers as long as you're not charging anything for the access and do
not exceed 10 instances or 1000 slots your fine hosting TS. Which means you
cannot request donations from your clan/guild members.

http://www.teamspeak.com/?page=faq&c...o_needs_to_pay

If a totally dedicated server isn't what your after I personally have used
http://www.clanwarz.com/

Everything they offer is on Linux based servers and has nice webmin
interface. But they didn't have a fast redirect option. That however can be
purchased from almost any webhost. Last I knew Dixiesys.com had a "File
Hosting" plan that gave tons of space and transfer for a decent price. All
you need is a cheap domain name, or do like I did simply create a subdomain
of my clans existing domain (if you have one) and point it at the hosting
space and use that for fast redirects.

Id suggest EscapedTurkey.com , I used them for like a year or so, no
problems whatsover. Was able to add mods and maps to it as well. Price is
awesomely cheap, ticket response time is fast too. Never used their TS
though, but i guess the quality is just as good too.

Hello Steve,

Strange problem. Custom maps and Mods are not a problem with a COD4 gameserver on Linux....

i highly recommend escapedturkey.com

turkey is always contributing here, and as a long time customer i can say its the best support and quality on the market. i had their TS for a while before we switched to vent and the ts was great. and as for custom maps and mods, they offer a $5 redirect server which is lightning fast.

hopefully this helps,
Ben

Ping lon.trinitygames.com
I think he will host a dedicated box for around $110 USD or so. Not sure if
he does that in london though.

Hi All

As far as being seen in the ingame browser ( cod4 ) I havent had any issues
with this on Linux or Windows. There is one or two cases every once in a
blue moon that needs the 30 minute off trick but other than that I have had
zero issues with this.

Hi All



As far as being seen in the ingame browser ( cod4 ) I havent had any issues
with this on Linux or Windows. There is one or two cases every once in a
blue moon that needs the 30 minute off trick but other than that I have had
zero issues with this.

I think he will host a dedicated box for around $110 USD or so. Not sure if
he does that in london though.

I have my own Linux server at home where I used to host COD4 for friends (5
seemed to be the limit due to bandwidth), but the download speed of maps etc
was way too slow.



So I decided to purchase a COD4 Hosting pack... all good.... Nice fast
redirects, custom mods and maps etc... but, the server was not listed on the
in game internet games server.



So, decided to change providers after my subscription was up... found a
nice one, well within budget, and straight away, was listed in the "in game"
server list, got loads of players.... according to gametracker has over
17000 individual player names in 4 months.... my own rcon has tracked over

I would like a host with fast redirects, Linux based, will be listed on the
"in game" server list, unbranded, public server, and team speak to boot.



So, can any one point me in the right direction?



Any recommendations on game hosts?



Many thanks

It has a light side and a darkside
