eGO's servers

Harpertown is the name of the CPU we use... I think the servers are located in Richardson, TX... but I don't know who they are through.
 
so....Layered Tech, or Digital Gaming eXtreme...? :|
In case i didnt explain myself correctly, i like the game performance on all eGO css servers, so i would like to rent one myself, and... i dont know where you guys rent them from :\

We used to use Digital Gaming Extreme, but they couldn't handle the load of our servers so Deacon got us a deal with Layered Tech on game servers. They are now our primary server provider.

Help?
 
Yeah, you think you can maybe help me get a deal with them? I look forward to 12-slot 100 Tick server, how much will that be? Thanks beforehand
 
I tried to contact them, and the cheapest they offered to me is $159.00 / month + $49.00 setup fee; is that how much you people pay for it? 0_o If so, then i guess never mind... :\

Not really. Load was never an issue and many of the servers that DGX rented are still in use by the community. The harpertowns are the only new addition to eGO's server fleet. Digital Gaming eXtreme is a reseller of Layered Tech dedicated servers. We still host the Ava and Donner server in LT data centers.

EdgeGamers has been hosting with Digital Gaming eXtreme since the community formed. The Council and I go way back. When LayeredTech raised their prices a few months ago I was faced with a tough choice. I would raise my price and continue to rent the servers to eGO or I could turn the reseller boxes over to eGO and help them save a little money. This would have been a 30% increase to eGO's monthly cost. I wanted to help eGO save money and presented my idea to the council. They liked it and here we are today.

Now, eGO rents directly from LT for most of their servers. DGX assists eGO with troubleshooting and system maintenance. DGX still runs the OSs, Ava and Donner, and the website.

If you're looking for a good dedicated server I would recommend using LayeredTech or SoftLayer. The game servers are hosted at LayeredTech and they are limited to the TX datacenters. SoftLayer is where the webserver is hosted and they offer multiple data centers, including DC, TX, and WA.

Both providers offer excellent servers and great peering points (where the data center connects the the interweb). I think SoftLayer's web prices are a bit higher, but if you speak w/ a sales person they will cut you a deal. LT will give you a better deal, but multiple servers are required before they do that. Having worked with both providers for a while I would say that SL offers quicker technical support. LT offers bonuses to resellers in the form of upgrades. Many of the servers ordered by DGX came with better processors than expected. When eGO took over the servers and ordered their second harpertown they got a dual proc quad core system instead of the single proc quad they ordered. It would be a win-win eitherway.

If you need help managing your server (not the game part) Digital Gaming eXtreme would be more than happy to help.

One final thought. Dedicated servers can save you money in the long haul, but you need to be willing to commit to a higher price box that will allow you to run multiple servers. If you want a single server instance you may be better going with a company like Branzone or MyInternetServices that offers single instances. The difference can be 100s of dollars. MyIS hosts their TX servers with LT.

Here are the prices for servers at SoftLayer. keep in mind that you'll need to add $10 for 100 Mbps or $20 for 1000 Mbps. You can run 4ish game servers with 100 Mbps. Over that you may need to upgrade to GigE.
