The webpage looks really well worked, but, there are cheaper companys that sells Teeworlds Server as well, and they support Mods...

Moved to Community News. You might want to add a bit more info to your post, like that where your services are located (USA by the looks).

Re: .: FrostBite Networks | Official Support Thread :.

LOL? For 8$ (6€) a month I could set up my own vServer and run as many TW servers as I want.

No, really. It's just too expensive. TeeVision host a server for a third of your price (2€/2,7$ a month), and they support custom maps and mods.

So your offer is not what you call a "great deal"…

EDIT: Just read that you provide root access on every TW server? What is the difference to a vServer, except that teeworlds_srv is preinstalled? And why is a TW server just 1$ cheaper than a vServer which has the double RAM and three times as much bandwith?

EDIT²:  Just read that your servers have a line speed of "100 mB". Isn't that a bit too little, one hundred milli bytes? That's one byte in ten seconds…

Re: .: FrostBite Networks | Official Support Thread :.

It costs money? Money?!?! I have my own server up and running for free. Who needs to buy a server when there are better deals AND you can host even better servers for free. I like USA though. (because I live there! big_smile) Maybe there will be more than 3 good USA clans soon. But if lots and lots and lots of people are happy with you, then I will just host two servers. (yours and my two) I might try teevision too. I will if I ever really really really really want an instagib server. But I like to play vanilla too.

no

Thank you so much for the correction its actually a 100MB, a small mistake that would have cost us dearly had you not pointed it out "Malachite". A revision in prices has been discussed, it has been changed to $4.95 per month. Changes to all the prices have been made, and will be up as soon as possible. Message me if you would like to know the new prices.

Yes we are situated in the US, Dallas to be exact. Our servers do support all mods.

There is also a great special on our VPS and craftstudios servers, 50% off! Just enter the code FROST50 at check out to take advantage of this offer...

Re: .: FrostBite Networks | Official Support Thread :.

I did not find an imprint or something like that on your page, just a contact form. I don't know how the situation is in USA, but here in Germany you have to provide an imprint if you earn money with your site, even if you just embed ads…

Disregarding I don't like much making business with juristical persons outside Germany (law reasons, especially in the USA), I would do this lesser if I don't even know the name and the location of this juristical person.


BTW, are you a company or a (group of) private person(s)?

Don't you say that in America? Maybe it's a British word, but it exists: http://dict.leo.org/?lp=ende&from=f … =impressum

You maybe say "legal notice" or something like that. It's a page with the name of your company, your location and how you're contactable, like the following

This is a teeworlds forum. Maybe you should ask that question in a more general forum.

Did you try google? Sorry, but I think this is really not the correct place to discuss this.

My apologies Ghost. Will re frame from asking questions like that again.

We've updated the first post to give a better overview of FrostBite and what we're about.

Re: .: FrostBite Networks | Official Support Thread :.

Bought a TW server from them, love the service, instead giving you some crappy control panel you control everything through SSH, love it.

If you want to test your ping or just try out my server search for My Imaginary Clan in server browser.

Is there any chance for FrostBite servers in more locations around NA in near future?

Re: .: FrostBite Networks | Official Support Thread :.

At the moment there are about a thousand teeworlds servers.
Let's assume frostbitenetworks were to host half of them, you would be making ~ $2500 minus the cost of the servers.

I wonder if teeworlds support is really worth it !?

Actually after paypal fee and taxes they probably keep around $4 per server. Maybe making money is not their main focus here.

We want to be able to provide servers for anyone who needs them, not just games with massive audiences. So we offer a few games and will be adding more as we are made aware of them or the need for them grows. This way, we will carry on supporting and growing our business.

Well I live in Alberta, Canada, having a server here would be great. If it is easier for you to get set up in US a server in Montana would be just as awesome.
