We accept all major Credit Cards through 2Checkout, PayPal, and Electronic Wire Transfers. You can purchase a server by either contacting me on the forum here, or emailing sales directly at [email protected]
Thanks for the detailed clarification and staying calm on the discussion. Just my last recommendation, drop the recommended slots down a bit and you'll be fine. The clients themselves can set them higher if they want to at own risk (or request this to be done on Multicraft), it's also easier on your server load as people don't try and overload your and their servers then. Good luck!
While I'd like to agree with the above poster, its simply not the case. We've already gained three Trial accounts and one outright purchase from this thrwad. Our website is only a day from completion as I stated vaguely in the OP. Moving WHMCS and cPanel to a different IP is what's taking the time.
I will add test IPs to the OP when I get to a computer. If you have Tekkit you can join the server in the TCAdmin screenshot, it is up and running and would be good for a lagtest, it has no content. I will add proper test servers when I get at a computer next.
Excuse me, but 2x unmetered Gbit ports would cost a lot more than $550USD/mo. And plus, cPanel for dedicated servers are $30/m at best. (Unless you run it in a VM, but that's kind of stupid when you have a server full of MC servers).
For TeamSpeak, all ATHP's have a mimimum of $14/month
Also:
Your NS1. and NS2. records on your domain (Which was registered in Feb. 2012) point to HostDime. HostDime offers customers free WHMCS licenses with their hosting. I'm guessing you just purchased re-seller hosting from them? (Which then, I would say Eleven2 is better)
You also stated that you had over 990GB/s of internet backbone. Since each server is 200GB/s, it means you have 5 servers.
(By the way, it's 990Mb/s, not Gb/s, and definitively not GB/s)
$550 x 5 = $2750/month.
4 Remote + 1 Master TCAdmin license = $800
Total investment for first month: $3,550.
That's a lot of money.
Also:
Since each server costs $550, and you have 64Gb, your average GB/$ is $8.6. Even at regular price, your barely making profit. Add in dedicated IPs, your TCAdmin investment, and HostDime, your most likely losing money.
I don't want to hate on you or anything, but these numbers do tell a lot. If you could prove me wrong, I would wish you luck in your hosting ventures.

1. They're not unmetered ports, they're dedicated.
2. Buycpanel likes customers with very old accounts

1. Yup, our Orlando servers are hosted within HostDime, we have great contact within HostDime to get us wholesale pricing.
2. We are transferring an WHMCS Owned License, and are not using HostDime's partner license. (we're not reselling hosting.)

Erm, that's a bit of text; 990GB is the backbone of HostDime, it's not what our servers are capable of, but simply the network backbone (a useful statistic when speaking of DDoS mitigation, but not very useful when you're talking about usable bandwidth.) We only have one server with HostDime at the moment, (so no, not 5x.)
$550/mo. We have one TCAdmin 2 license, which has paid itself off in the past (the initial investment is not a consideration as we start minecraft hosting.) Luckily this means we only have an investment of about $800 in the first month, as opposed to the $3,350 in your quote.
Since each server costs $550, and you have 64Gb, your average GB/$ is $8.6. Even at regular price, your barely making profit. Add in dedicated IPs, your TCAdmin investment, and HostDime, your most likely losing money.
The servers cost less than $550/mo, that was simply an approximation for lack of me having the invoice with me while I was out working today, I'm sorry for that. Needless to say however, we would be losing money if we kept this sale on for a long time, and at normal price we are hardly profiting after you count our dedicated technical support team, Dedicated IPs, TeamSpeak ATHP, and other expenses. However, we also offer webhosting and VPS hosting; which have larger profit margins (due to having much less expenses.)
Exclusively allocated to or intended for a particular service or purpose. So uh, a bit of a mis-communication there
a useful statistic when speaking of DDoS mitigation, but not very useful when you're talking about usable bandwidth.
Your CPU and RAM are probably going to run out long before your bandwidth runs out. That being said, your provider is probably going to nullroute your IP even before you CPU runs out.
Also, erm, you seem to have contacts all over the place. Good job. Otherwise, good luck with your ventures.
Game servers @ host dime, good luck with that. Also be sure to watch your bandwidth burst. Even though HD likes to boost this amazing network they have Manny Vivar will cut you down to 5Mbps in a drop of a hat if your using above 3TB a month.
I'm not GoldenGaming now am I? He is someone reselling our services, as people do when they're provided at wholesale prices. As per purchase, yes; I clipped out the last paragraph when previewing my post. Thanks for that bit of constructive criticism.
I understand "haters are going to hate" and other alike internet culture, but this has no place in my Hosting Services thread. The point of this section is to inform the community of companies offering Minecraft hosting, and NOT for discussion (as the section-specific rules state.) If you do not agree with my post, please take it up with a moderator, or to myself in a private message.
Just to point out i'm not a reseller, i'm "working with Michael to bring you Premium Minecraft Servers at an affordable price"

Fair enough, I'll change the OP to remove "dedicated" from the network, as that is mis-communication.
However, the Cisco hardware firewall will mitigate DDoS before it hits the server... CPU and RAM not being an issue then.

We've been given 33TB "best effort", with no overage costs.
So which of you is lying here? You say your not a reseller for them, but they say you are.
GoldenGaming... sigh. Michael owns the server (under Aimless.me), and is selling minecraft services under my name (GoodHosting), we have a business partnership. However, GoldenGaming is one of our clients, therein he would technically be the reseller. He's "working with" us in the way you "work with" eNom to sell domains. Sure you sell domains, but you're selling them for eNom.

I'm interested in the 1GB plan. Is the 50% recurring for lifetime or just a limited time? Do you accept PayPal subscriptions? Is the sale price monthly or prepaid? If prepaid, how long are we prepaying for?
I'm interested in the 1GB plan. Is the 50% recurring for lifetime or just a limited time? Do you accept PayPal subscriptions? Is the sale price monthly or prepaid? If prepaid, how long are we prepaying for?
Yes we accept PayPal, and we are currently not using the PayPal subscription service. Months are payed for as invoices, individually generated 5 days before they are due. You pay for 1 month intervals, no contract; and as long as you pay for the first month before the promotion ends your price will be 50% recurring for lifetime, yes.
Ex: Pay $4.65 today on an invoice in PayPal, you will have one month of server (from today to 30 days), and a new invoice would be generated 5 days before the end of this billing period; also for $4.65. You would have 5 days to pay that invoice, and as long as you keep your account in good status (invoices paid on time) your account will keep the 50% off recurring discount on this service.

Is there a possibility of generating a PayPal subscription? Or perhaps switching to a subscription later on?
Would I have FTP access (to upload/download worlds, files, etc)? Which control panel do you use?
I remember reading towards the beginning of the thread that the site is offline. Are you just waiting for domain proporgation and some basic setup or is the site still being built?

Related: how will support be handled?
Yes, PayPal subscriptions are being worked on, we're in the process of verifying our business documents with PayPal to enable this feature. The control panel we use for Minecraft servers is TCAdmin, and you would have FTP to upload/download files; yes. The domain has propagated, but there's nothing on the domain at the moment. The WHMCS license is still pending, so we've obtained a leased license in the mean time and I'm in the process of installing that now. Support will be handled inside WHMCS, through tickets.

I've read through the whole thread, but just so I'm clear here. GoodHosting's support would only be you? Or would support also be dealt with by the server owner himself (Michael)? I'm assuming Golden Gaming doesn't factor into support?

Hah, no. I understand it's a bit confusing, I've asked a moderator to come clean up the thread to prevent confusion like this.
Our support team is from another company, and does not include me nor Michael. GoldenGaming does not factor in either. I handle all Sales and Abuse/Complaints myself, as well as Billing for customer privacy and ease. Michael handles all the DataCenter related abuse claims such as DMCA and takedown requests.

Nerd, geek, server admin, guy wearing a rainbow skin (with an office suit of epicness)? That's me.
