[VertHosting] Community Hive

[FiX (DayZ) 17]

What's this then?

We've decided to run something for the community that does not cost you any money (yes, free!). What we've done is take the characteristics of the regular hive and improved it - less lag, faster load times, support for more maps and faster instance generation times. Some could call this HIVE v2.

It's very simple to use for both server hosters, server owners and clients alike. All you have to do is request an instance ID from the Vert Hosting page here, have it inserted on your server and place the database details into your configuration files. This should slide straight in to most hosts without any issues, most hosts will require a simple support ticket to get this done at the most.

We will also be offering a simple download and extract, ready-to-go option.

What are some of the features over the normal hive / regular private hives?

• Private hives are great and all, but what if the server you like to play on goes down? Time to start again on a new server. This is solved as you can just join another CommHive connected server.
  
• Faster load times as it is not as bogged down or overloaded as the main hive can be. It is also more reliable than the main hive as it uses the tried-and-tested Bliss Hive technology.
  
• Faster instance generation. A lot of people were plagued with having to wait 8+ days before receiving their instance IDs from the DayZ Team. We will have 24 hour maximum for instance generation, with instant instance generation coming soon via WHMCS modules.
  
• Easier installs, with a simple download and extract install method, you will be good to go within a matter of seconds.
  
• Support for more maps than the regular hive - we currently support Chernarus and Lingor Island and are hoping to expand to Takistan, Utes and Fallujah if we're permitted.
  

So where do I sign up?

To sign up, go here for Chernarus based servers and here for Lingor Island based servers.

You will receive instructions once your instance has been processed on what to do from there, but it is very simple.

You will need the latest version of Bliss Hive.
