RJ's Server Hosting - $10/month for 32 slots

_RJ_

So about 5 years ago I started my own server hosting company. Unfortunately that only lasted for about a year and I had to close it in 2015 because of it not being profitable. Afterwards I only did game server hosting on the side to offset the cost of my dedicated server. Now I'm back at it again in full swing to make some income while offering a very affordable rate for game servers.

You can check out my website here: https://exiguousproductions.com/

So the first question you might ask is probably "What do I offer and for how much?" Right now I'm offering 3 packages which are the following:

24 slots, free web hosting, free voice server: $7.50/month
32 slots, free web hosting, free voice server: $10/month
40 slots, free web hosting, free voice server: $12.50/month

The game servers I'm offering are as follows:

Counter-Strike: Global Offensive
Counter-Strike: Source
Day of Defeat: Source
Garry's Mod
Half-Life 2: Deathmatch
Team Fortress 2

Right now the only location I'm hosting in is New York City, US, however I can also offer the following locations upon request:

Atlanta, US
Los Angeles, US
Netherlands, EU
Seattle, US

Once I get big enough I plan on offering these extra locations without them being requested. Does any of this interest you? Feel free to place an order here: https://exiguousproductions.com/clientarea/cart.php?gid=1

Paying for slots? Why not charge by performance?

DesertedCake I never even thought of doing it that way. I figured I'd charge per slot because that's the standard pricing model that most game server hosts use.

On the other hand, I sort of already am charging by performance once I start offering my premium game servers which will be running servers on higher end specs. See here near the bottom of the page for more details: https://exiguousproductions.com/game-servers.php

My premium game servers will cost an extra $5 per package, so it'll cost the following:

24 slots, free web hosting, free voice server: $12.50/month
32 slots, free web hosting, free voice server: $15/month
40 slots, free web hosting, free voice server: $17.50/month

The other benefit to charging per slot is that it gives some added variety to the prices, so someone could choose to pay less for my services compared to having to pay more if I were charging by performance. If I were charging by performance than I'd only be offering one package at say $10/month with the slots capped at 64 and then the client could lower the number of slots to their desired amount.

I hope this answers your question, if not then feel free to let me know and I'll try to explain some more.

As someone who has used multiple hosting services in the past, I feel compelled to say that RJ has always done right by me. His hosting is top notch and he has always sprung right to action if there were any issues or questions. I heavily vouch for him!

Sly Thank you! Kind of you to say.

I just wanted to let everyone know that I'm changing the pricing around a little bit. I'll now only be offering two packages: standard and premium. You'll be able to choose however many slots you'd like between both packages, up to 128 slots. The main difference will be the specifications as listed below:

Standard Game Server ($10/month): 2 Cores @ 2.1GHz+ (Intel E5/AMD EPYC), 25GB SSD, 1GB RAM, 1GB SWAP
Premium Game Server($17/month): 1 Core @ 3.7GHz+ (Intel E3v6+), 50GB NVMe, 2GB RAM, 1GB SWAP

If any current customers are reading this and would like to switch to the new system, feel free to open a ticket under the billing department and I'll switch things over for you.
