server host recommendations?

[rysnrd]

i want to rent a server for quake live for instagib tdm/ctf railfreeze. can anyone point me in the right direction for current day hosting? i was a q3a player back in early 2000's and want to attempt to start a community around this type of gameplay again.

Hi:

You can find a list over available hosting service if you search in google under:
Quake Live Gameserver

You see a list with at least 4 providers that are reasonably priced and quick in there setup.

Good luck.

what region?

what price range?

E.g. If you want Frankfurt & cheap https://living-bots.net/vserver-mieten

If you don't want Frankfurt and you care more about the dedicated resources and a good price you can go for https://www.hetzner.com/

If you want good ddos protection go for OVH: https://www.ovhcloud.com/en/

if you don't care about the price, you can go for high performance at VULTR https://www.vultr.com/ or Gcore https://gcore.com/

others:
https://contabo.com/en/ for cheap thing, but fake performance (shared cpu, not so recommended)

if you are totally poor, you can get lifetime free AMD 2000 Mhz CPU with 1 OCPU (2 cores, 1 core+1 thread) and 1 GB of RAM and 50GB storage, you get 2 free servers like these, you get other irrelevant stuff also like ARM server but quake not working on that... all at Oracle cloud: https://www.oracle.com/cloud/


game hosting in UK: https://www.eugamehost.com/


other stuff: kamatera covers lots of regions (I think gcore and vultr also) https://www.kamatera.com/





other relevant to mention:

https://www.digitalocean.com/

https://www.linode.com/

amazon ec2 https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/



other tricks, get other servers IP addresses from here let's say: https://ql.syncore.org/

do a whois with any whois webside like https://ping.eu/ns-whois/

see where it's hosted - you can try of course first that server to see if you like it.. and if you like go and buy :)
