Before I go out and spend $200 I'd like to get some customers who would be interested. I would offer my first month prices very cheap to get reputation. How about $60 for a 32 man bf2142 server;)

If you know anyone who would be interested in renting out a server, please let me know.

So far, I'm thinking about the "Insomnia265 Conroe 3060"
Processor: Intel Xeon 3060 Dual Core Conroe Processor
HDD: 250GB Hard Drive
Ram: 2GB
Speed: 100 Mbps Uplink
IP: 10 IP Addresses (Don't forget about the many ports for each ;))
Bandwidth: 2500 GB Bandwidth (Thinking about upgrading)

*VIP's would receive additional bonuses at any time, not just the first month.

If you would be interested, or know anyone that would, PLEASE reply or PM me!

Remember I can updrade any of these things, I just need to see how many customers I would have.

If this gets big, I'll probably buy a site for just that.

How much for a 32 man BF2 server?

[Mr. Hasselhoff]

As of now $60-80. I need to get a list of all people interested. I'm thinking about doing an offer for 15% off yours for each person you reffer. I'm debating if this should be a one time thing or for as long as they're a customer.

[TACO_HATER]

You get the box i'll get all the games including ranked **** ?

[raperofzenoob]

ADD CRYSIS!!!!!

its gonna be the best game relsease!!!

i like that idea...if u add crysis

nice idea david!

[Mr. Hasselhoff]

When it comes out I'll try to get it. Making banners is kind of pointless when I don't have the site template nor the customers ;)

[squeak]

Yea I know but I like doing gfx design lol

[Mr. Hasselhoff]

Please keep that in another thread so I can keep this one organized. Thanks.

[Plaz]

Good idea. Ssrly...if it works, this will be the biggest thing that happened to ZOMG.

[incRo]

Id like to know about a css server :D

[winningfreak]

yeh also if you are running a 1 box server it might get overused... and pings go up+lag. Sure its a good box but alot of companies have deta centers with 200+ boxes (AOWC has over 500 boxes I know that...)

[Andrew Carnegie]

Its a real good idea - go for it man

[TacoGrease]

Another clan I am trying to help out will need a serv. They can't afford it atm, but when they get more donators coupled with the discount for refers, they would be interested in a 32 man Ranked BF2 serv

[winningfreak]

how about if you did a deal if someone gets + so many reps or so many posts they get a month of free service? (every 25 + reps you get a 16 man server for a month) or somthing like that...

Terrible idea, I can just imagine the abuse. This isn't as sweet as I though it was originally. I can probably host 3-5 servers on it, I thought I would be able to do much more. I'm going to look at some other companies.

[high6]

Make sure to get a fiber optic line so it doesn't lag to hell from hosting a few people(in the future you might need more then 1).

i would be intrested in a wolfenstein enemy territory server, but would like a price if you have one, ty

Edit: I've created a price list which is subject to change based on any deals that we can work on ;)

[hitman47]

Good idea, but u dont make as much profit as you think u would do with these ideas... I once had the idea to make an ebay based computer shop.. Didn't work out cause I dont have any rep on ebay.. Any1 like to do this with me? It gotta be someone with a good rep'd ebay account, we could share the profit, you can make quite a lot of money

[winningfreak]

why not just sell stuff like video games and **** to get your rep up.... then start your shop... its what I did with mine and I have over 350+ rep 0 neg

[hitman47]

And where do the video games come from? I wanna keep mine lol and i dont have a video game tree in my garden

[nemesis1]

kek shop exploit ? that would get yew TV's more than games :P

[hitman47]

What is kek shop exploit/how does it work:confused:

and Hoff that would be great, but y dont u do that yourself already?

[ReapeR-ShEeP]

yeah this all is a good idea i just want to see it work

[lewis]

for counter strike do 12 person server. there the best cause it feels like a war and you can pug easily on it.

[karr]

David i sent a message to you make sure to check it :-)

[winningfreak]

yeah this all is a good idea i just want to see it work
