I noticed this forum, and realized I had some open server space that I could rent out. I don't have much space, so i'm going to pick servers that I personally like. I probably won't play on them much (if at all), since I prefer to play single-player, but it's still a personal preference.
Keep in mind that I can't support something like a 100 players (probably), but these have handled ~25 players with no computer or network lag. I can obtain more space which might support a lot more players, if a lot of people apply here, but I don't know how popular this would be, and am wary of opening that up.
If you're wary about trusting a new poster like me, feel free to PM me. I'll direct you to some players and modders around the forums who will vouch for me. But I hope you'll trust me, as I need to trust you with access (even if I guard it to hell) to my personal servers.
If you have any questions or doubts, feel free to voice them here, i'll try to respond (though this new player post limit might prove to be a problem.)
Computer Specs (I'll post them if someone else applies, since that means i'd have to clean up the bigger servers.)
Please post using something like this template, and i'll post if I approve of your application, and PM you the details.
Server Name: Expected player slots: What are you willing to pay (per month or at least initially): Can you install server plugins (I will if you need me to): Do you need me to manage the server: How long do you need the server space: Server Description: Anything else:
Example:
Server Name: Jounce Expected player slots: Max 20 What are you willing to pay (per month or at least initially): $10 Can you install server plugins (I will if you need me to): Yes, i'm quite proficient in managing a server. Do you need me to manage the server: A moot point, since we're the same person. How long do you need the server space:I don't need the space, hence me renting it out. Server Description: Jounce is a roleplay server. The basic theme is that of high fantasy combined with sci-fi like science. Think functional magic which can be explained by researchers and scientists, along with elves and dwarves and such. Anything else: Jounce is a reference to my name (Non-Zero Jerk), since Jounce is the derivative of Jerk. It's a physics joke.
Oy, you finally decided to get an account on the MCF, then? Just like you to be so secretive about knowing people. The person in question this Jerk (heh) is referring to is me. And yeah, his servers are fine, when I hosted some RP servers, I used them. They had no problems, and he has a secure account (i think the username was minecraft?) with SFTP and SSH access.
Oy, nzj, you'll let me play on w/e servers you pick if I ever play minecraft again, right? Thanks.
Anyway, for the rest of you all, this guy told me he made an MCF account, after about a year of owning the game. I decided to jump back on the forums, even though I stopped playing minecraft, to give him some support. Keep in mind that I'm NOT resuming any mods or anything. And to try and not take over this thread, i'll answer the one question I can think of you guys asking: DR collapsed while I was away on a trip to Houston (lovely place), when Ribor deleted our titanpad. That's all i'll say, since that's all I know.
Umm, thanks for the endorsement? I'd prefer to build my own rep, though. I didn't mean to involve you, since I didn't seriously think people were that suspicious here. And stop hijacking my thread, this was supposed to be about me letting people play minecraft together, and maybe making some friends and some money. Jeez.
And i'll have to ask whoever applies, but yeah, you'd probably be allowed to play on the servers.
Server Name: steamcraft Expected player slots: 25 at most XD What are you willing to pay (per month or at least initially): i wont be able to pay (keep reading!!!) YET but i have a few players from other servers i know who will play on it with me and they have said that they will donate. others will get their friends to play, more donations, and all donations will go to you. i wish to have a server purely for the enjoyment of letting people play together. Can you install server plugins (I will if you need me to): i have a basic understanding of it, but i may need help. Do you need me to manage the server: as said above, i have a basic understanding, but help with the techy stuff would be appreciated. How long do you need the server space: as long as possible, or at least as long as it takes for me to be able to get my own hoster. Server Description: it is a rp server with a steampunk theme. steampunk is sci-fi mixed with victorian style. it has 5 main towns and people can travel to them via the steam train (minecart track). there is a mansion in which all the admins live (if they like) and ranks are as follows:
Anything else:if you dont pick me, i understand. it may take some time to get donations in and you may have better things to do than wait for money that comes in randomly, not specific times or amounts.
Server Name : Slander, Assassins creed mc server Expected players slots : I'll probably only need you to host in the alpha stages, which could last anywhere between 2 weeks, or 2 months. I have a team of builders, and staff, but I'm always looking for more, but if you could introduce us to a few devs, that would be fantastic whether you host the server or not. So 20 slots, less if you don't have enough space How much would you be willing to pay for the server : It really depends, since I'm only planning to use this for alpha, although we might be able to work something out, I'd be willing to give you a $20 Australian itunes card. (You can change your store setting). I know its kinda pathetic, but I might be able to get some paypal credit if that's acceptable. Can I install server mods: Yeah, but I might call for assistance every now and then. Do you need me to manage the server? I quite capable, although with your permission I might entrust details to devs, How long will you need it to be up? 2 months Server Description: FULL SERVER INFO hereor at tinyurl.com/slandermc Anything else: If I get any donations in the period while you're hosting me, you'll recieve 25% of the money donated! At the moment I'm being hosted by one of my admins, but its very unreliable, because its only on for 4 hours of the day. If you'll accept it's only fair that you'll get some sort of rank, [owner] or [hoster] and when the server goes dedicated, you'll be one of the founders!
PS I think it's a great thing you're doing for the MC community, +1 LIKE!
Both of you are accepted, i'll set up my second server space (the minecraft port forwarding on the router for the second server.) The second server is basically the same specs as the first.
I will PM you guys with the details of the setup, and where to point donations & etc. to.
What are you willing to pay (per month or at least initially): Ya
Can you install server plugins (I will if you need me to): Ya
Do you need me to manage the server: No
How long do you need the server space: a few months while our staff builds the city.
Server Description: Modern Economy, town server. People spawn in a very large city with fully functioning train, subway, cars and airports. Using one of the following ways of transportation or just walking, players can leave to journey to many other player made towns. They can trade, buy and sell helping to build up their town they are apart of or getting items they need for their home. There will be many highways and train lines stretching across the scenic landscape of the glistening surface of the lakes and rivers to the majesty of the mountains and plains.
Anything else: Can a web server be hosted on the same server too? The server currently has a website that is a work in progress ( http://www.aqmc.us ) and I would like to use the same IP for both of them. If you don't want a web server on it that's fine. We need the server due to our current home hosted server having poor up time. This affects a lot of our builders and delays the building more.
