    Hi all.

    Gameservers.ie is a startup providing game server hosting and related services to the Irish gaming community. Our infrastructure is located in Telecity, CityWest - one of Ireland's two hubs for Neutral Internet Exchange, with multiple carrier uplinks (including a presence on both INEX LANs).

    While we still have some work left to do on our portal site and product set, we are looking for clans/gaming societies/avid individuals to help test our infrastructure, debug any latency issues, problems with our control panel etc.

    To this end, we are offering one months free gameserver hosting for any of our current supported games (current complete list available on www.gameservers.ie). Slots are limited, with precedence being given to groups/individuals likely to spend the most time gaming.

    To avail of this offer, head over to the gameservers.ie storefront, select the package you'd like, fill in the appropriate details and select "Free Testing Account" as your payment method.

    Hope to hear from you soon!

    Regards,

    Paul

    I thought official company rep names should be in red, such as the Gamesnash and Magnet people have?

    I'm not aware of anything stopping someone regging and subscribing immediately to give them a custom tagline and avatar.

    Only cool people like Pat in Gamesnash get their name in red.
    Paul has to prove himself first. :)

    Seriously, only subscribers can change their tag line, and subscribers have coloured stars. I'll check anyway....

    Hi all,

    This account is official sanctioned and comes with boards approval! :)

    (I thought that would have been implied with the custom tagline and avatar?)

    I hope this isn't overstepping boards.ie courtesy, but any questions/queries on gameservers.ie can be posted to this thread.

    Regards,
    Paul

    Wow a guy comes on offering free servers and gets derision and suspicion in return.

    Welcome to Boards.ie.

    Deh howp yer not when a dem bidness types.

    Dey tik ur jibs dammit.

    Dey tik UR JIBS.

    By the way Paul, good luck with your enterprise. Maybe think about adding Arma2 into your list? It seems to have a growing number of players here at the moment, looking for a home.

    I'm pretty sure that it says after you make your submission that processing the freebie servers is a manual process and can take some time!

    You should be good to go as of now.

    I've no problem with that! I'll add it to the poll on the main site. If there's enough interest we'll look into offering.

    Paul's username is now appearing correctly (in red) - the mistake there was mine. He is most definitely approved for being here both by me as Community Manager and by Kinetic^ who is the Cat Mod for games.

    Best of luck with it Paul, already off to a good start it seems.

    Applied for a TF2 server

    How do I edit my server settings? Do I log in or what? Can I change the map rotation, gravity, and sv_pure settings?
    Also can I spontaneously set people I don't like on fire?

    Yup, when your account is accepted and server deployed you'll get your control panel login details sent to your email address.
    Can I change the map rotation, gravity, and sv_pure settings?
    Yes, yes and yes. Pretty much all configs can be tweaked and edited.
    Also can I spontaneously set people I don't like on fire?
    Most certainly... I believe "Pyro" is the class you're looking for :)

    Thanks. I also believe there is a Console "code" to spontaneously set annoying people on fire. I have my "=" key binded to explode :P

    We don't have documentation for game specific setups/configs, you'll have to check your games docs. (Perhaps a wiki would be useful for such things?)

    Haha, I recently bought a TF2 server from e-frag...

    What kind of prices would you be selling them for?

    EDIT

    I see the prices.. 24 slot = €20.40 :/

    That's about another €6 more then e-frag.

    I reccomend (if you can) you reduce your prices slightly.

    The prices you see on gameservers.ie are only placeholders for now (there is no payment method available that actually creates a charge).

    Even though the cost of Irish hosting generally tends to be degrees more then that in the UK, we hope to at least come close to matching the best prices from over the water. It is a tricky balance - covering costs and competing with british hosting!

    Thanks for the input!

    Regards,
    Paul

    Nice to see a game server vendor finally in Ireland.

    I notice you don't have prices or information on the voice servers, any idea of rough prices.

    Also are the server ranked ones in the case of the BF series ?
