End of HaloMods?

Spartan III · Post by **Spartan III** » Sat Mar 08, 2008 3:32 pm

Heh. I checked out HaloMods again because we're all playing Halo CE over LAN at my college. But this... terrible news. I was here very early on, and I've seen the community develop in many different ways. I do not want to see HaloMods die. We need to breathe new life into the community - new modding developments perhaps.

I'd donate if I could, but I'm almost in debt as it is. All I can say is, this place means something to me. I'd hate to see it just die. I wish I could help.

That's probably the best solution I've seen yet.

Well, I hear BlueHost servers are reliable, fast and insanely cheap...

Did you even look at the topic..?

Normal hosting methods such as that do not have the hardware available to host a site such as HaloMods. Unless there were some on there, I didn't look much.

Yes, I have read the topic actually...

Disk Storage 1,500 GB
Gigs of Site Transfer 15,000 GB/mo

Sounds like more than enough to me...

Obviously you have not. The issue has nothing to do with the size, at all. Even if you had only read the first 8% of this thread, you would know why that is not a possible solution.

These sites are a joke...It's a vhosted server, which will never work for HM...They offer you all that because they know you'll never use it...And if you do, they politely ask you to find another host, and refund your money...It's the same old ploy of them offering 15,000 for the cost someone else offers you 5,000, when they both know you'll use 200, and thus can offer it to you dirt cheap...Trust me, I've known lots of people who run these hosting services...

Remember the old adage, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is...

Speaking of the admins, has there been any rumors of which direction they are leaning towards?

Been rather curious of that myself. Anything being said in the ol' Staff forums?

Found one more hosting offer I believe to be better than the first although, ThePlanet.com is one of the most reliable providers I know.

Specs:

Proccessor: Intel Xeon Quadcore Kentsfield

RAM: 1GB

Operating System: Redhat Fedora 64 Bit

(Additional Operating Systems are available for an additional setup fee but no extra monthly cost.)

Storage: 250GB

Bandwidth: 4 Mbps (1300GB/Throughput) burstable to 100Mbps

This plan is very customizable. Check out this link to see if it meets your requirements.

Iron_Forge and Grenadiac are very knowledgeable about this, they know what they are talking about when they say what they say.

The plans I suggested should be adequate for halomods needs. I understood halomods needs about 250 GB of storage and at least 1GB of memory for your server. All of my suggestions also include Xeon Dual Core processors which should have enough power to take on the load put on by this website.

They also decrease the monthly price by about $100 or so, I'm not sure of the exact amount.

I don't see how I have gone wrong. Please direct me here.

I think he was mostly referring to the earlier posts in the thread.

can a sysop post the halomods stats including traffic and space used so maybe we can work around those numbers

(or did someone already post, and i missed it?)
