The way I see it if I'm paying $100 a month the server should be run by my rules not a someone elses. Therefore I won't be renting one until the price gets reasonable and they get rid of these rules.
So let me get something straight here... If I rent a DayZ server and pay $75 - $100 Canadian a month (the payment of a small car). I have to follow the rules that the DayZ Developers have made? If I fail to follow these rules my server ($75 - $100 let's not forget) gets shut down no questions asked and I don't get a refund. Also from my understanding you're not allowed to kick and ban players because they can report you and have your server taken away from you. Hmmm..... I'll go with no thank you on that one! I'd have to be an idiot to spend that kind of money without the privilege of having my own rules and doing whatever I want on my game. I'd rather buy a new vehicle with that kind of money, then on a game server that I'm not even in control of. If I'm wrong on this one can someone please correct me? I sure as heck hope I misunderstood.
Yeah I've seen those it's still a rip off though. They're taking advantage of the popularity of the game and the fact that there isn't many game server hosts to compete with. There is no way a 40 player server is worth 40-50 euro which is about $60 - $75 Canadian.
So far I've found http://www.hfbservers.com/ they rent for a good price just wondering if anyone has rented from them at all? Let me know if they're any good? Never mind it's not standalone it's the mod
I'm looking for a cheap server host that provides DayZ early access game(The one you pay 29.99 for on steam). I'm looking for 40 slots for about $30 or cheaper none of this $100 ridiculous price that I've seen around. It also has to be a quality server with good customer service. I'm currently renting a 7 days to die server and it's awesome however for some reason DayZ is not allowing smaller companies provide servers therefore the prices go up.
