Is mod availability dependent on your service or the creators of those mods? I'd like to be able to use Elemental Arrows and Humans+ on the server I purchased.
Please correct the portion of the first post reading,
We've got 182 addons at the time of writing ready to add to your server, including hMod, iConomy, Runecraft, Llamacraft & Cuboid.
Currently all of our servers run hMod, and we'll be integrating Bukkit into our systems. We're taking an active role in the development of Bukkit, ensuring we're best able to support plugins on the new mod.
It played a large part in my initial decision to choose to purchase your server over any other option, and was on the verge of abandoning your service for another for not only this very deceptive information (this untimely falsehood regarding hMod and misleading information regarding the number of available addons was, as far as my perception, not noted anywhere on your first post or your website so that I was in the dark about this until after making my purchase), but also for the sake of the price of an 8 slot server being advertised as starting at $9 (and change) per month while the price which I paid is over 30% greater, and the requirements for obtaining the lower price are obfuscated (It appears that your advertised 25% discount is applied to the $9 price; the regular price of $12.16 per month is nowhere to be found without first committing to the order button; additionally, the phrase "starting at $x" strongly implies that this is the initial price, not the lowest available). Please make it more obvious that the $9/month applies only to servers rented for 3 months or more, otherwise the statement that
Servers start at only £6, $9.34 or €7.21 per month for an 8 slot server
Is blatantly false when applied to purchases consisting of fewer than three months. I'm no lawyer, but it seems to me that Section 2 of the UK Fraud Act (which is where your business appears to be located) (source), Black's Law (A dictionary source commonly referenced in courts in the US, which is my place of residency) (source), and a Virginian lawyer (which is my state of residency) (source) would be quick to interpret this situation as fraud. I have no intention of pursuing legal action, but I strongly advise that the information given be corrected before someone else does.
That said, your service is otherwise outstanding. I've had nothing but good experiences with support, have experienced remarkably little lag, and appreciate the speed at which new addons are becoming available.
We're a small group of 6 Minecrafters and we're extremely tempted to buy an 8 slots minecraft server from you. But we've a few questions before doing so:
1] Once purchased, is it possible to add/buy new slots without having to order a new server?
2] We're all living in Belgium. Francfort, Amsterdam and Paris are pretty much at the same distance. What would you consider the best choice?
3] It seems that a few people are experiencing troubles with your minecraft servers. If we do experience problems too and are unsatisfied with your services, is a refund possible? If so, how many days once the purchased has been done?
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Glad you're considering us.
1) You can indeed add new slots, but this isn't automatic yet unfortunately. If you get in touch with our billing team we can usually complete upgrades within 24 hours on weekdays.
2) I'd suggest Amsterdam has the best connectivity to Belgium probably.
3) We've got a 5 day no-quibble refund policy, so just contact us within the first 5 days and we'd be happy to offer a refund if you're not happy.

This number of addons is still available (it's now over 200) but some only function with certain versions of the game. Having a detailed list of what's available under each hMod version or no hMod or hMod 1.1 etc is unrealistic.

I'm sorry but I disagree with you here, our servers are indeed only $9.34 per month for an 8 slot service pre-paid for 3 months or more.
I have had experience with Multiplay in the past, and it's been very good (ranging from UT2004 to L4D2 servers, including Teamspeak).
Phacoid, what machine are you hosted on / what's your MH number? I'm not aware of any other customers having problems with this other than an isolated problem on one of our Frankfurt machines, so I'd like to investigate this and get it resolved for you! It's possible there's some servers misbehaving and constantly maxing out a core (we've seen this more since the recent updates), or it's possible there's another problem somewhere.
We've now got SSDs installed in Moscow, so we're available to host Minecraft in our Moscow location now, and we've forked LWC to work with the latest version of hMod, so that's also up to date!
You previously mentioned you were working with the bukkit folks in a close capacity and your site advertises bukkit as coming soon. is there a timeline on when bukkit will be stable enough for use on your servers?
Also you mention tons of plugins available. I have a small laundry list of mods from the bukkit list (heh.) that I am interested in if I were to pay for a server. How does your list compare with the one at bukkit? ( http://plugins.bukkit.org/#ti=&ta=all&au=)

It's all down to the development really. It's broken and then fixed addon support quite a few times recently, and we're developing the features into bukkit to make it more suitable for a GSP environment (to let us use it as a wrapper suitably)
I am very satisfied with this company. The only thing that annoys me is when files (such as config folders, etc) need to be uploaded, I usually wait for over a day. I guess I'm just impatient.
I have been waiting for an hour for my server confirmation. I was going to get it yesterday but billing problems prevented me. I did order today though. I am happy so far, but am patiently waiting for the server reply. I know you guys have enough problems with 1000 new servers created within a half hour. My eyes are glued to my email for the rest of the night!
EDIT: They were stuffed, just as I thought. All the lag we had was because we were going into unexplored territory so the server had to render it. Me and my friends are very happy with the purchase!
Hey there. I purchased an 8 slot server, and it was amazing...
...for the first day.
Today, we are getting random crashes, disconnects, massive lag spikes, and complete inability to connect. I'm not too sure on how I should go about fixing this, and any help would be appreciated.
Hey, I got a server from you a few weeks ago and I have been pretty happy with it so far (a lot of login/connection issues but I am giving you the benefit of the doubt that they are Minecraft/client-related for the time being). I appreciated the quick response I got from your support on how to back up my server ( the option was a little hard for me to find, but the timely response made that not a problem).
However, there is one thing I can't figure out.
You say:
We've got 215 addons at the time of writing ready to add to your server, including hMod and your other favourites. Not all of these addons are compatible with each Mod you may wish to use, but if we're missing an addon simply upload it to us and we'll get it installed for you!
When I go to the "AddOns" tab for my server though, I see Multiplay Admin - No hMod (0.9) installed as well as Multiplay Wrapper. But the only addons I see available for install or Runecraft and Tall Grass.
Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to upload them myself? Should I be looking in a different place?
I get random timed out
Rrandom map corruption on vanilla.
Random Java error msgs
Very bad LAG.
Random blocks returning when i build
Random 500 errors.
plays 1 day and totally refuses to work the other day.
AWFUL.
I got a 10 slot but 2 ppl is to much. it kills the server. wth?
