My 50 player is using about 1500GB a month in total bandwidth and it's rank 28 out of all servers on gametracker so it's pretty busy. Just to give you an idea of usage.

Been using them for a few years now. They are the BEST provider I have EVER dealt with in dedicated or managed hosting and I work in IT. I keep telling all these people complaining about their managed hosts to go dedicated. Cut the middleman out and get world class service. Oh and teach yourself a few things by being your own Administrator ;).

Most use a bypass that doesn't even log in BattlEye logs. I've turned on tags on my server and that has helped some. I see a hacker or have a trusted player report it and they're banned easier.

It's hacked 100%. They do not spawn in the game. When they fixed the port-to-ocean issue that resurfaced before 1.7.2.4 they didn't state it's safe to put on Camo, Ghillie, and SOLDIER outfits did they?

For 600 pounds a month you should buy your own server and rent rackspace somewhere. OUCH!

Glad to see the grammar police are out in full force today. How would we ever be able to read these forums without them?

LOL Cyric. Was thinking the same thing. I'm excited for you Fosty but man that's every day life in DayZ. Get in a car chase or a bandit gang war and that will be post-worthy.

They're banning people for threads like these now. Just a heads up.

Go dedicated. Also how hard is it to hire some high school kids for minimum wage to set these servers up? Especially if you're using something like TCAdmin to get the instances up...

Damn 75 ping limit? That should be against the rules. 150+ is where I personally would draw the line.

It almost isn't worth the hassle. Every now and then I get props from someone on my forums or on TeamSpeak and that helps keep me going.

I understand your frustration. Most people are numb to the hacking and such now that they just troll posts like these. Play on my server. Hackers are dealt with fast. I can't guarantee your safety but I can assure you that we try.

If you're not seeing hackers they must not exist!

ALL middle-man providers operate this way. I don't get why people act surprised. Get a dedicated box from a TRUE hosting company and you'll never look back.

Oh no I included those "older" people in my generalization. If they act 12, they might as well be it.

Seems like a few try and do that. Freshly restarted servers don't spawn loot right away though so they have to wait for it to start repopulating ;).

I warn them that they'll be banned if and when I see it. They usually leave or stop. I've yet to ban anyone for it.

Hackers will target any server and there's little any admins can do to prevent it. We can only take care of the problem after the fact. Which is too late.

Only thing I can recommend short of manually removing with a toolkit is to find a big vehicle (easier said then done, I know) and start running it over. That may be only temporary until a server restart.

200 kicker on my server but people from UK get around 100 ping. You may try mine if it suits your tastes and see if you get kicked.

I understand. I've been hosting my server for a bit now and learned quickly that much of this community is 12 year old mememe kids. Just focus on your server and the people that call it home and you'll be good.

Most servers will have their restart times in the MOTD when you first join. Better servers have messages that alert you prior to restarting. There's no default or automated restart functionality for servers built into Arma2/DayZ. This has to be setup by the admin using 3rd party utilities.

Go dedi. You won't ever look back.

Ban the hackers. Don't worry about being blacklisted.

It's hacked.
