Post #1
Me and some of my associates have recently seen the excessive traffic on this game, we would like to think about selling hosting for Rust since there is currently only 1 hoster. If any Rust administrators would like to talk I am free to talk over this forum post or a pm.

You don't really even specify which Optic Hosting you are, since there's probably 10+.
-
Optichosting.net
Our site is currently undergoing extensive changes.
Might know us from our many services including- Minecraft Servers, Gmod servers, webhosting, and arma/dayz hosting
-
2 posts, no working homepage.
That's not how to convince garry.
-
Well we are waiting for an answer so we may include rust in our homepage.
Edit-anyways I havent even played Rust, my associates brought it to my attention

Let the Battle for serverpricing begin!
-
Would probably be nice to have cheaper servers.Let the Battle for serverpricing begin!
If we become a host then we would base our price on resorces and bandwidth use. $150 seems a bit outrageous
-
If you can beat 200$ per server - You're doing something right.
-
Public forum is perhaps not the right place for these discussions to be had..
-
Where should I ask the administrators?
-
Unless they know any details about the rust server software they can't really discuss about that anyway.
-
PM? Simply ask for a way to contact Garry regarding business propositions? A public forum isn't an ideal place for business discussion. Especially given the number of trolls that are here.
-
Try it over the Contacts on the http://www.facepunchstudios.com/ website
-
Optic, yes, please start hosting. Hopefully you will have a little more respect towards Rust players than some other providers. Ahem.
-
Not trying to be a dick (seriously) but it's a really unprofessional to talk about it like this on a public forum (ideal-hosting), you should at least try and be humble to someone else that just wants to provide a service like you are.
-
I really want to see if you can host server with better Performence then Ideal-Hosting.Downtime like 80% Stop saying its still alpha just look on the United Kingdome server it is running perfectly !
-
Ideal-Hosting is simply trying to avoid having any competition so they can continue to ask for an outrageous price
-
UK is ideal hosting too. Maybe the ddosers play there? or its just not beeing attacked.
-
We will be contacting facepunch soon.

optichosting.net was registered 2 months ago so I assume your a new start-up and many new starts-ups lack any good experience. Many also die within the first few months.
It also looks like you registered the domain with inerol.com (appears to be primarily a web host rather than a domain registrar) as their company name and details are all over the whois record so in the event that they decide to shutdown or cut you off then they get to keep the domain.
You should of registered the domain with a credible registrar like gandi.net or godaddy that actually puts your name and details on the whois record so its technically yours and not theirs.
-
Everybody was a start up at one point. Even Goldman Sachs, even Facepunch.
-
Yeah.. that is awfully bad logic. My small company was a start-up at once as well. However, we are still going strong 4 years later. We all have to start somewhere. That is how life works.
-
Get Nitrado as hoster they got the experience for alpha games and they do not say "Its only a Alpha" the argument clearly with the Problem and try to fix it. www.Nitrado.net
-
I merged with Austin and Fitz hosting creating Optic-Hosting, before that we were Bedrock Hosting, we had operated for a year until we merged. We have a lot of experience with webhosting and gameserver hosting so we arent exactly new.
-
If their details are the domain registrars info, then it means they paid for WHOIS security which hides your real information and displays the registrars. It has nothing to do with who has actual ownership. Since GoDaddy was one of your suggestions, you will see that you can pay $8.59 per year for Privacy Protection which says "Hides your personal information from public view in the WHOIS directory."
-
How do they fix problems with code? Do they start meddling with files placed on their servers to fix "alpha" problems? Because you're suggesting they meddle with their customers' files, or you don't understand the difference between a hosting company and the developers using a hosting company.
You're not doing your recommendation any favours.
-
Are you guys rocking DDoS protection of any type? because that's a big issue for this game.
-
Lets see what Happens as I wont pay 150 euros for a server
-
Christ. DDOS protection doesn't work very well for multiplayer games, quit asking like it's that easy.
-
This statement is very true, besides I cannot answer that before I even get the server files.
-
Would be Nice to have servers for about 50 - 60 Eueros but 150 euros ? who wants to pay that .... Not Me
-
I used bedrock hosting to run my minecraft server. Lasted 4 months with no problems and no lag and nearly 100% uptime. Vouch to these guys for the experience part of things.
-
It does not always mean that a whois privacy service was used for the domain, there has being many cases where allowing a third party to register a domain for you with another service resulted in that third party's details being placed on the whois record rather than yours. I assumed inerol.com was a third party domain registration service.
Even if it is whois privacy they should not even be using it anyway as its a bit suspicious and if the company that is offering whois privacy dies or cuts you off then they keep the domain. Its just really bad practice especially for an "experienced host".
Also with hosts like godaddy they usually give some kind of indication that whois privacy was used in the whois record.
-
I am glad you had a good experience with our servers, hope I will be able to provide a good experience again through Rust.
-
same here :D garrett hehe =)
-
You also used bedrock?
-
I was just wondering, as a company with hosting experience, and the nature of gaming in general ( where DDoSing is the only way idiots can express their disapproval) if he had protection in place. That's it. It must exist or we would see a whole lot more of this garbage in other games.
But he answered my question right below, with a "maybe, but probably not".
-
Ddos protection or not, anything that can handle a rust server is better than the $200 for a basic plan that we are currently stuck with.
-
I just said I can't really answer that till we have access to server files.
