Looking for server host with these features

Recommended Posts

Hi there survivors! Wonton Freak here with a little question to you all.

 

Couple of years ago I had a server with a private little community of around 40-50 people playing, hosted on DayZ.st, We ran standard DayZ with RMOD (a couple of custom and very rare vehicle spawns and weapons) and had a password protected private hive.

 

This summer I decided to sart up the server again, and I naturally went back to a host I had good experience with, but was shocked when I had to fight for over a month just to get my service started, after that It was bug filled, lots of lag and all other things you can consider negative.

 

 

What I'm looking for now is a new host, with the same features as DayZ.st had, because I'm no programmer, and their method of server management WAS brilliant.

 

Features I'm looking for:

1: Interactive admin map, where I can check vehicle spawns (Add, edit and remove) vehicles, edit spawn loadout (we liked spawning without anything, even flashlight)

2: Possibility to password lock and set the server into private hive

3. Install RMOD with the click of a button

 

Many would say gaah, admin map, ADMIN ABUSE!!.

 

But reason for number 1, is that the community we had, liked a reduced vehicle count (about halved or so) so that there would be a bit more fighting to get one. And with a map where I could change this in an instant, is nice because I don't know how to edit spawns in the server code. Reason number 2 is the player trail, it's brilliant because you can in an instant see if a player has been teleporting or moving incredible distances in a short period of time. We removed a couple of hackers that got through our application process with this method.

 

I'm hoping for a few good replies here, and I'm grateful for all answers^^

 

Kind regards

I've used Villayer, DayZ.st, SurvivalServers, and currently use XstreamGaming.net. I have found that that my latest host to be the best for several reasons; they respond within hours to tickets, they allow a high level of modification to the server files and database, and they have high performance. They have rMod, a whitelist and passwork lock installed with a click.

 
There is a great admin tool which has the option to show messages when admin tools are used, so players can conclude whether admin abuse is active. If you look around the mod forums you'll find plenty of guides on how to edit the code and, with a little practice you can achieve surprising results, particularly with the vast knowledge and support of the community. The trick is to just dive in there. It looks complicated or scary but once you get going you'll enjoy it more than gaming.
