Important Poll Regarding External Hosting

[haloman30 167]

So, alycat has been contacted by one of his friends regarding hosting for Chaotic United. I am going to make a poll on whether or not you think I should do it. Keep in mind that this won't be like KaizerCraft necessarily, as we would just be run on a separate PC. Personally, I am rather reluctant to do this, but if you guys think it's a good idea, I may go ahead with it. If not, our current setup will not change even slightly.

I have issues trusting people nowadays. I just can't really sleep at night when someone other than myself has access to my server files like that. If the majority of the votes ends up as no, then I am NOT taking the offer. Not yet anyway.

I can totally understand why you don't trust me at first due to your previous incident. 

 

Honestly, I'm not interested in change's and don't want high authority on what happens on the server. Its your game server, all I would do is just host it. To those who don't know, I'm a developer and a technician. I'm already working on a project, I won't be on the server that often. I want to clarify my whole reason that I offered to host Chaotic United was so then that the project could possibly get some attention when testing begin's (Which will be soon). As to you not being comfortable someone else having access to the server files. Nobody else will see your stuff, nor will touch it but me and my assistant technician (He is certified in the technician field, and has known Aly the same amount of time as me). I am very tech savy and I am going for the same certification. Linux has a feature where stuff can be divided to different workspaces, and that will make it very easy for you to have console access without having to go through other things.  You might be asking "Why do I say this?" The project's game server is hosted on the same machine, however, the operating system is Linux making the ram usage very minimal.Two servers can very well be hosted on a Linux machine with 8GB of ram and no lag will occur on the Linux server. Our gameserver only uses 1.1GB of ram by average for all its services and will increase every 1000 players. We don't even have that many testers and  If it ever becomes to the point that both server's cannot run on the same machine, I have another server with 4GB of ram that can accomodate for it.

 

The main reason why I would urge you to consider this offer is because of the fact that my network will take alot to DDoS compared to what hardware you use will take very little to knock offline.  When you intend for this server to be popular you are going to need a reliable server that won't be easy to crash, and to my knowledge this server's information is public. Anybody could DDoS you anytime and you will be a sitting duck when that happens.

 

I would only host it until you guys get enough donations to buy hosting.

I will also be uploading a video tomorrow of the server's spec's and you will be able to see it physically.

Hmmm. Well, I'm glad you understand my reasoning. I am going to be considering this offer quite a bit. I'm about to head off to bed now though, so I'll get in touch tomorrow sometime. After I finish a few things forum-related after family stuff, we can talk on phone or Skype and go from there.

 

But I do agree, if we were to get DDoSed we'd be pretty screwed on that point. Plus my own internet would be down as a result being doubly bad. I might go for it but I'll reach a final decision tomorrow sometime. Seems the community likes the idea anyway. We'll talk tomorrow. Work something out.
