We've uploaded Snapshot 14w34c to Multicraft for all our snapshot users.
In other news, we have some exciting news coming out soon relating to Minecraft Pocket Edition! Our friends over at the Lifeboat Network, one of MC:PE's largest networks and one of our largest clients, have allowed us to utilize their custom edition of the Pocketmine software. This software allows servers to utilize Pocketmine plugins, while allowing clients to connect with the latest versions of Mc:PE. Additional improvements include reduced resources usage, higher performance, and great stability.

Ready2Frag review from the perspective of the Lifeboat Server Network:
Working with Ready2Frag has been a great experience thus far. I've dealt with many hosting companies in my quest to find what's best for my network, and I can say that I've found it in Ready2Frag. Players of the network I run have not been complaining about lag recently, thanks to their first-class networking providers the servers can run with great ping times. They provide a lag-free and fun gameplay experience for players around the world. Requests for dedicated servers to be set up from us were fulfilled remarkably quickly, and the servers were ready to serve players within days.
With other hosts I've used in the past I've had huge problems with capacity - the network I run is very large, and requires many servers to run. Ready2Frag has been able to server all the capacity in servers we've asked for, without any sign of struggling. I know that when my network needs to grow, I can get more servers through them and they'll be delivered quickly, professionally and with the end result having great quality.
There have been remarkably few issues so far when using Ready2Frag's servers, but when they do come up, problems via support ticket are always resolved quickly. Their support conveys the message of them caring about their customers, and wanting everyone's servers to be running at the best performance they can be.
Ready2Frag's server pricing is also some of the best in the market. They provide servers at amazing quality standards, but without the premium price tag that is usually associated with it. They were able to get us a custom quote to fit our needs for the network, and at a price no one could beat.
In conclusion, if you're looking to start a game server and want a lag-free experience for your players at a great price for you, with knowledgeable support to back it, you can not go wrong with Ready2Frag. My experience with them has been excellent, unequaled in any other host I've used so far.

Lifeboat Server Network for Minecraft: Pocket Edition
Since I've had my various services at R2F for over 3 months I think now, I think it's time for me to do an actual review.
Where do I start. I started my journey by buying a 1GB server I believe, for a $7/GB or around those lines. I don't have this anymore as I've bought something else. Upon buying it, I received it instantly. I guess that's a norm in this industry, so I'm glad these guys had it. I received no lag whatsoever. No types of bugs and glitches within Multicraft itself, nor anything happening inside the server. I had no issues with ping, even though the server itself is located in Chicago, and me in Norway. I expected more lag. I was surprised by how good it was.
Later on, I bought a dedicated server (Intel Xeon E3-1270v2, 16GB RAM, 500GB 7.2K RPM, 1IPv4, 4Gbps DDoS Protection). I've never used a dedicated server before, so the experience was new and I had a lot to learn. As this host is un-managed, I didn't expect to get any help to learn what to do, so Google was my bff for so long. Worked well. The server has yet to have gone down for any error (it's been down once due to a request I made), and the ping is yet again beautiful. 130-140~ms on average. And this is from Norway to Chicago. Ready2Frag could not choose a better place to have their servers (nor a better price).
Last, but not least, support. Their support is extremely fast.I submitted my ticket about my 1GB server to have my slots being changeable, and 5 minutes later it was replied to and changed. I did not expect something like this. My second ticket was regarding my Dedicated server. I wanted my server to be wiped and to have a new OS installed. Being these servers are Dedicated servers, I expected it to take around 12 hours (keep in mind I have never had a dedi before). It took 4 hours, and the server was re installed with the new OS. I was blown.
My overall experience:
Price: They aren't your usual budget host, but they aren't expensive either. They put a great balance between cheap and quality. Solid 10/10.
Support: Fast and good. Could not be happier. 9/10 (I have seen better replies :P)
Ping: A lot less than I expected. 10/10
Quality: High quality servers on brand new hardware in a top-notch datacenter. Couldn't be happier. 10/10.
Locations: Could be better. I mean, one is not nearly enough. EU would be nice, I'm sure Wyatt has realized I want it by now. 6/10 till EU comes
Overall: 9/10. I've never experienced such quality for this price. 10/10 would buy again.
We just added the 1.8 pre-release to our JAR selection and removed some of the older snapshots. Please use the Custom JAR if you want to run one of the older snapshots. (We removed all before 14w29a).
We're also going to update the original post with links to our latest reviews.

We've got some cool stuff coming up next week and have done some minor changes in the past few days to improve the Ready2Frag client experience.
Minor Changes
Updated our website with some new information about our services.
Improved website UI and flow.
Upcoming Changes & Additions
We're currently working on a Modpack Installer! This system will allow our clients to deploy and run modded servers quickly and efficiently - Just select a JAR file and you'll be right as rain!
For our folks out there who like other games just as much as Minecraft, we'd like to throw out there that we're adding Rust to our list of supported and hosted games!
To start off, we are excited to announce the upcoming launch of our new modpack installer!
This installation service will come with major / official Technic Launcher and Feed The Beast modpacks.
Unfortunately, it will also result in some downtime of individual Minecraft servers and our Multicraft panel, as well as a period of initial testing and verification, before it can be officially launched to the public.
Users will only see a downtime period of approximately one hour, barring any incidents or holdups.
We will be doing the work on the panel from 5:00-6:00 PM CST (Central Standard Time), with a planned grace period of up to 1 (one) hour after this time.
