Me and Customz have been talking and thinking of buying a nR server for UTXMP. We don't want a cheap crappy server that's like 5 bucks..we want a good server..i presume 20-60 dollar range that is in central area so it's good ping for both sides. Anyone got any ideas?

Two Factor Authentication is now available on BeyondUnreal Forums. To configure it, visit your Profile and look for the "Two Step Verification" option on the left side. We can send codes via email (may be slower) or you can set up any TOTP Authenticator app on your phone (Authy, Google Authenticator, etc) to deliver codes. It is highly recommended that you configure this to keep your account safe.

This any good? i can see if they can host a UTXMP server.

Looks like a good deal, but I'd do a few searches on their name and see if there's any bad news about them (VSK anyone?)

I would most DEFINITELY stay AWAY from VSK no matter how good a deal you think you are getting. Trust me, in the end you'll be sorry you ever heard the name.
EDIT: BTW, you are going to be hard pressed to find any game server company to host a UTXMP server (cheaply at least). Even if they quote you a decent price, chances are they will up the rate as soon as they see how many resources it consumes. It takes a heckuva box which means not many other servers can run on the same hardware making the price go up.

That's obscene. I have a P4 2ghz with 768MB of RAM and it only started whimpering at 16 players in AS.
Yeah, for a server dedicated to a single game instance, 4GB RAM is way overkill. 2GB should be more than enough. The CPU is what seems to get hammered the most, especially when you have a large # of players. Invest in the CPU. Also you'd be better off getting a 3.8GHz Xeon CPU with 2MB cache on it rather than 2 slower CPU's. Games just don't use dual CPU's yet.

Dual CPU might be useful if he wanted two separate servers though, but I have no idea how you'd set the affinity of the two games remotely. However, I'd hope windows or linux (dunno which it's using) isn't retarded enough to assign both to the same one.
I should go test higher player counts now that 3369 supposedly reduced CPU load..
