The Smelter minecraft hosting is the best host I have encountered.
With mod packs already on the shared jar files plus helpful staff this has been a cake walk into making Ghantis MCPM.
I have enjoyed the first day and a half of my server being up with us upgrading soon to get more ram.
Ghantis installed pixelmon in only 3 minutes with just the shared document.
I love this host and hope to keep my server on this host.
Heyas fellow and future smelterites I went with thesmelter about a month ago, and my experience has been nothing but rainbows, sunshine and unicorns!
This is my first minecraft server host, and I researched heavily into it, it's overwhelming there's so many out there it's like a creeper convention outside your house, and thus so many potential creeper holes of hosters that can blow up in your face.
I saw this thread and their honesty with well thought out replies and not hording to people's posts/questions like I've seen other hosters do on this forum with stock replies/posts. Their site's > than most other hoster sites with laid out features, plans, hardware info (many places have to dig to see hardware specs) and so I contacted thesmelter from there with questions and sealed the deal for me, you won't find better customer service IMO like others have said, and frankly other than the obvious features/hardware/pricing etc. customer service is EVERYTHING. It's what gets people to stay and for folks like me to support them as they support us Max and his team are just mega super awesome!
thesmelter is friendly, personal, professional, and patient with n00b server owners like myself, anwering my dumb dumb questions clearly and get back to your tickets VERY quickly and are in live-chat frequently for assistance. I went with FTB and the one-click installation went like smooth jazz; after the first day realized I wanted MCPC+ for bukkit pluggins but had no clue so I ordered that they took care of it and installed it so quickly and seamlessly I didn't even realize it had been done
I tend to go Polonius with my posts, brevity is not something I do well But really, I am so glad I went with them. I know that lesser known hosters or smaller ones ppl tend to be hesitant with as I was, but thesmelter is amazing and I don't regret going with them at all

ATLauncher now on our automatic modpack installation system! No endless uploading or messing with configurations. ATLauncher modpacks work out of the box and come with all optional mods enabled. Currently the following modpacks are supported:
Resonant Rise
Solitary Craft
Overload
Sizzlecraft
DNS Techpack
MoonQuest
MadPack

If you want to suggest your favourite modpack, head over to our website and submit a ticket with your request.More ATLauncher modpacks coming soon!Follow us on Twitter to get notified as soon as a new modpack is available and a chance at winning a free month for your ATLauncher server!
As a result, our (and in fact every other host's using BukGet) bukkit plugin installation system is not working at the moment. Unfortunately at this point all we can do is wait for BukGet to restore their service.
We apologise to our clients about this, but as you can tell this a situation beyond our control. Until BukGet is restored, feel free to upload your plugins manually to your server and don't hesitate to contact our support through a ticket, live chat or twitter for any questions or assistance.
Sounds great, looks like I've found the host for me.
Sadly there is a threat on the rise for me because an idiot said this
Just a warning before you read this, if this is removed / I'm banned from this website, your server will be ddosed 24/7 with the speed of 60GB/s. You'll need quite the net speed to handle it
I was thinking of blowing your server, but... then I though, it would be funny to play around with you ^^ Every day I will say something, and if it's not done by the time I specify (or the following day, if not specified), your server is dead. Good luck.
I would hate to have to shutdown my server for good if this going to occur when/if I rent a server again. (just checking demands for starting up a Resonant Rise server since you guys can do that and will support me the best you can with it) But they said that line of attack is a fortune and probably nothing more than a scary threat. So I'm not going to jump the gun but still it out there..
So hopefully I can "restart" my server on a "proper" modpack that is loaded with awesomeness and won't eat an entire core! (hopefully) So I will try a 2GB premium sized server to start off as long if people want it.
Support = super! Ive worked with Max a few times asking about updates on mod packs etc.. Max has with in hours updated any packs and helped me keep my world. Thumbs up to Max very friendly.
Server = No problems here I run a plan thats around 36$ a month its not the cheapest compared to some others but honestly they do go out of their way to help you out for free... (unlike er other competitors that charge you 11 bucks more for tech support then tell you to watch 3rd party youtube vids.. but that's another story.
Mod Pack Selection! AWESOME all the ol FTB stuff, the Technic stuff AND drum-roll..... Resonate Rise, Overload etc.. Huge awesome packs that are 1.6.4 with all the goodies. Also several lesser know but strong mod packs. All of them easy to start up for a Minecraft server noob. Just pick the one you want (think about cpu and memory speed you have chosen) its easy breezy.
If you want a variety of mod packs to choose from, and strong support to help you out with any issues you may have try The Smelter. The only issue i didn't care for was you could only use paypal but eh ill roll with it. They were the 2nd server host I tried and they will be the last one.
Thank you Smelter for the great job you all have done with my Server. A review (and a monthly kickout of cash) is the least i can do for a job well done.
Solitary Craft and MoonQuest are now on our automatic modpack installer. This brings the number of supported ATLauncher modpacks to 6 and the grand total to 40!
With ATLauncher pushing updates every other day, you will love how using our installer lets you have your modded server started in seconds and how easy it is to keep it up to date.

Ghantis installed pixelmon in only 3 minutes with just the shared document.
I love this host and hope to keep my server on this host.

Strangely this impacts not only Shard Gaming's clients, but the vast majority of minecraft hosting companies.
What happened is that Shard Gaming was responsible for hosting BukGet's servers and as of a couple of hours ago, BukGet's servers went down with Shard Gaming.
As a result, our (and in fact every other host's using BukGet) bukkit plugin installation system is not working at the moment. Unfortunately at this point all we can do is wait for BukGet to restore their service.
We apologise to our clients about this, but as you can tell this a situation beyond our control. Until BukGet is restored, feel free to upload your plugins manually to your server and don't hesitate to contact our support through a ticket, live chat or twitter for any questions or assistance.

You're not happy anywhere anyway. This comes as a surprise to absolutely nobody really. (http://www.minecraft.../#entry26328898)
Good luck to...your next host.
Thanks anyways. and.. we see about that. Nothing like free bukkit installations to start the night off right?
