Hello there, really like your thread, visuals are nice, everything is clear and easy to read. I also like the website very easy to navigate. Probably one of my favorite things on your site is the testimonials that cycle through like a slide show, very nice! Defiantly on my list of hosting providers to recommend.

Thanks for that

I am wanting to run a Minecraft server with Forge and Pixelmon as mods. May add more later? Are you servers compatible for this and what's the cancellation policy?

Yes, open a ticket with support and we'll install these mods for you. You can add more yourself since you'll have full access to your server directory.
You may cancel at any time, however refunds are not guaranteed and are on a case by case basis.
Like lets say I make $25 bucks one month in donations from PayPal and I don't have a Credit Card but I have the money in my account. How can I give it to you?

Each month an invoice will be generated, and there will be a 'pay with paypal' button which you can click. This will deduct from your PayPal balance.
I just wanted to say that so far, this host seems to be working great for us. Because I am not experienced with minecraft hosting at the moment, I have had a few questions, and opened up tickets for them. I put the priority as "low" on my tickets, but they are still answered within the hour, and actually answered.
So far, things are running well, and we are happy. This host was recommended to me by another user, and I appreciate the recommendation.
This server is for my daughter (worldofemily), and she is using her Christmas money to pay for it. I have to admit that I am relieved that this is working out well after we had a bad experience with another host - and she lost $20 of her own money.

We're glad you're enjoying your server! Thank you for the review, and be sure to let us know if there's anything we can help with.
I initially found SimpleNode on LowEndTalk and for a month I used a 256MB KVM VPS from them as a VPN server. That VPS worked great and that's primarily why I went back to them for Minecraft hosting when I very recently needed it.
In the past I have always been able to run Minecraft servers on smaller VPS's since I typically play with just a few friends. But I recently became the owner of a much larger server where I was paying $40/month for 3.5GB of RAM that always seemed to be full. The host was fine as far as performance and everything goes, but I wanted a change. The control panel wasn't the best, and it just wasn't what I wanted.
I looked around at several different VPS providers and ended up running across SimpleNode because they offer a 4GB server for just $42/month which seemed like a good deal, and I jumped on board. With a coupon code I found I am getting it for around just $38/month which is cheaper than my previous host, so I can't really complain about pricing.
The first thing I noticed about SimpleNode was how nice the SpaceBukkit control panel is, and also how it was fairly glitchy. I then noticed that I essentially was given a 4GB VPS that was optimized for Minecraft, and not just an instance of Java like most other hosts give. Knowing this I was able to get root access and very easily clone my old Minecraft server through FTP.
The 10+GB server was able to be moved in under an hour. Most hosts would have required me to download all of the files to my own computer and then upload them again which would have taken forever with my 1Mbps upload speed. Once everything was downloaded I moved it all into an McMyAdmin installation I created, and started the server.
So within 24 hours I was able to move over to SImpleNode. So far the server is running great. I haven't noticed any lag, or "Did the system time change, or is the server overloaded" warnings, and I also noticed that McMyAdmin seems to manage memory better than the panel my last host used.
To add to that as a very tech savvy guy I love being able to simply go into the server's terminal as root and download new and updated plugins with wget, remove old ones with rm, edit config files with nano, and so on. This really saves a lot of time that is usually wasted with FTP.
I'd definitely recommend SimpleNode as a MInecraft host. They are great for both the more advanced users who want root access, and the people who just want to use the FTP and SpaceBukkit login that they give you.
Thank you very much, William. I'm glad your enjoying our service.

Thanks for that
