Asked someone for the specifications that their game servers run off of, and he wouldn't give me a straight answer. This hosting looks reliable, but I would much rather that be open then have to email someone for some specs (yes he told me to email someone).

I bought a server roughly 2 weeks ago and can't complain one bit. The pricing caught my eye for sure, truly amazed by the performance too. I feel like this host deserves a pat on the back, thanks again guys!

Thank you Victor! We're glad you're having a great time with us!
We've been with Advantage Servers for two months now and from day one things were going much smoother than we had experienced with the other hosting companies we had tried. We run on a CanaryMod platform rather then the more well known Bukkit/Spigot platform, so getting things set up is a little more hands on, but we had no issues. In addition, after about two weeks they had even resolved some of the quirky things we were used to seeing with Multicraft/CanaryMod hosting. I was very pleased and can confidently recommend Advantage Servers to others looking to host their servers.
Thanks for the great service Advantage Servers.

I could get a 8GB VPS for $20. Why should I choose you a reseller. Rather than OVH a established budget provider ?
Excellent question. First off, where are you getting this 8GB VPS for $20? That's $2.50 for a VPS, which is bound to be extremely oversold considering a semi-budget provider like RamNode is $10/GB. Overselling is something we simply refuse to do. You're also going to see some benefits, like a control panel and dedicated support here to help you with Minecraft, not just your Linux (or Windows) VPS. It really depends on what you're looking for. If you're someone who likes to run all of their stuff one a single machine that they can call their own, a VPS or dedicated server is for you. We're mainly aiming to help those without the Linux expertise get their server up and running so they can play with their friends easily. Let me know if you have any additional questions, I'll happily answer them for you.

Can you please provide proof that you don't oversell.
I find it extremely hard to believe that you guys can make a real profit on each dedicated node you are running.
Also, honestly overselling isn't really a issue for me. Unless it creates a negative slow environment for the services that i'm running on my machine.
The majority of hosting services oversell while maintaining a reliable service.
Overselling is only unacceptable when it effects the customers service in a negative way.
When service providers don't moderate the dedicated machines usage thats when it becomes a problem.
You are being silly if you are not overselling. I can imagine that the majority of Minecraft servers you are hosting are not using all the RAM that has been assigned to there service.
So why not take advantage of that ?
Also I believe that people choose middle man services is because they do not know what else to use.
Anyone can setup a Minecraft server on a VPS its really not that hard. And there are so many tutorials out there.

The fact is that we see a lot of companies out there taking advantage (like you said) of kids and their parents - charging them for RAM that is not solely dedicated to them. We hold onto the strong belief that overselling is not worth it, especially for only a few more bucks. We're primarily concerned with making sure our customers are happy, not just trying to make a quick buck like so many other companies do..
As for proof that we don't oversell, first I'd like to make clear that each node has 32GB of RAM installed and we only sell 28GB to ensure the OS and auxiliary applications have plenty of wiggle room as to not impact our game servers. We also pay close attention to CPU usage, we focus on ensuring usage doesn't go above 40-50% on average. You can take a look at our system status dashboard (definitely under heavy development still, but live) to view real time statistics about all our servers. https://status.advantageservers.com.
Now it appears that you either currently own, or previously owned a host by a quick look at your profile. So if you have any particular problems or concerns with our service, would you please just shoot us a PM so we're not unnecessarily bumping this thread with a simple conversation?
I'd like to briefly remind everyone about our awesome summer sale going on right now. Grab a server and get 25% off your first month when you use the code "summer" at checkout!

We also recently dropped our live chat provider, tawk, and switched back to PureChat. After a few months with tawk, it was very evident why it's free. PureChat makes it easier on both you and us.
We just updated to WHMCS v6, seems to be working nicely! The WHMCS team truly did an excellent job. We'll be making a few tweaks to the theme over the next few days to keep us separated from the crowd.
Today we finished implementing our modpack installer system. This feature has been greatly requested over the past few months and we're unbelievably happy to release it to our customers. This is something we regrettably didn't create from the start, however we're glad to finally offer it.
Don't see the modpack you want in our jar catalog? Let us know, we'll add it.
A few weeks ago we added the option for our customers to pay quarterly for an automatic 15% off for life. Based on recent sales, this has been a huge hit among new customers.
A quick reminder about our summer sale: Use the code "summer" at checkout and you'll get 25% off. Use this on a quarterly payment and get 40% off your first billing cycle! We do plan on continuing this sale into September, so you've still got some time. Feel free to contact us should you have any questions regarding our service.
First non home-hosted minecraft server I've ever ran. From the moment the payment went through, my server was up and running. I spoke with Dylan about installing a special modpack, and he was extremely helpful and friendly. Definitely can't see myself going elsewhere for hosting. Love what you've got going here guys, keep it up!!
