OC48gaming.com has the best prices I've ever seen. They have a 16-player minimum, which will run you $48/mo ($3 per slot)

I agree. But you may want to check out http://www.mohadmin.com for a list of providers.

We use I-Lan ... But we only pay $140 a month for a 20 player Spearhead server, AND they host our 250mb web page and TS2 server.... With the best techsupport around.

But that's just us...

OC48 is a startup business, hasn't been around very long. They do really well with speaking with customers personally, and yes, they are still learning.

You don't get webspace or TS2 servers, but if you don't have a clan, you don't need either.

You just have to decide what's best for you in the end of things.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, just don't sign up for a server company cause their cheap!!! I have made this mistake way too many times. First of all as Joe said go over to http://www.mohadmin.com and check out the game server providers list, read the comments check prices, then have your guys check out their pings ESPECIALLY DURING PEAK HOURS (5pm -11pm EST)!! Then decide which one is best for you. I have made the mistake of getting a server that is cheap only to find out that the connections sucks and there are ping spikes during peak hoursn or their customer service sucks.

I would agree with both Argon and Joe. Also, and this is just me, please dont flame me for this but I would hesitate to give my money to a company who's admin is named MothaFucka. Just a personal thing, doesnt sit right with me. They may be good, I don't know, but it would make me think twice.

Heh, it made me think twice. Don't doubt that at all. Which is why I went with Xgameservers. But, I've had the server for coming up on a week, and I have yet to have any problems with connections. The server stays at or near capacity nearly all day long, even during the 2am-10am slow times.

Oh, and while I have the chance, don't go with Xgameservers. They'll treat you like gold for the first week, and then forget about you. On top of that, they're overpriced. And their servers run like crap.

Well {-BaH-} Crow King's Forlorn Hope and {-BaH-} Rifles (204.157.6.27 and .31 plug :) ) are both hosted from OC48gaming.com

The servers are... well Ok the server seems to have trouble supporting 60players, oh it will do it, and ping will be in ranage from about 20-200 depending on location, but still it seems to be choppy, and not maxrate choppy, it seems to box could be lacking a little.

But other than that, OC48gaming.com is a new service, catoring mainly to BF and RTCW but have just recently branched off into MOHAA and the hosting of their own servers.

They are new, and are learning. There prices are rather cheap, and there service does not appear to be too bad. If you want a small 20 player server, OC48gaming.com does seem to be the place to go.

They are working on the final version of their webpage, for now they just have a forum; the owners seem to frequent there quite often, good community good people.

Nevertheless, mohadmin.com does have a list of servers providers worth checking out first.
