Hey Guys! So, recently I decided that I'd like to get a Minecraft server, but I could not find a host that fits my needs, so I thought I'd come and post everything I'm looking for here, and see which host does it the best. Below is a list of all the requirements, all, but maybe one or two are mandatory. If you feel you can cater for my needs, feel free to comment below. If you're looking to help me out, please address everything in the list, as it makes it easier to see what you can/can't provide.
Here's the list:
Unlimited Player Slots - I'd like to freely change my player slots as I please. By freely I mean two things, one, there should be no limit on the amount of slots, and two, it should come at no extra charge.
2.5GB of Dedicated RAM - If there's one thing I hate about some hosts, it's burst RAM, please, I'm just looking for 2.5GB. See the word dedicated? That means I do not want any burst!
Quite A Powerful CPU - Besides the RAM, this is what's the most important. One of the many reasons I left my old host, was because their CPU's were not powerful enough. I'd appreciate it if you could leave the specs of your CPU below.
10GB/s, 1GB/s or 100MB/s - We'd like our server to be run on any of those lines. Seeing as my friends server is on a 100MB/s line, and I get a great connection (with my slow internet), I feel I'd get an even better connection with a much faster line.
MultiCraft Panel - It would make everything easier if you could provide the MultiCraft panel, as I am familiar with it. However, if you have a custom coded panel, or a different one, I'm sure with some support, I could get used to it.
Custom Jar Support - Seeing as this is just going to be a server for my friends and I, I'd like the ability to load custom jars (includes our own mod packs etcs). This should also include Bukkit, Tekkit, Feed The Beast, and Hexxit (if you don't count it as Tekkit)
Full FTP Access - This one is pretty self explanatory, I need full FTP access (includes SSH, etc.)
5GB Of HDD Space - To get started, and to save some world backups, I'd like at least 5GB of hard-drive space, and the ability to upgrade whenever (even if you charge for it)
Free MySQL Database - Some of the plugins require an SQL database (to view stats, etc online), so we'd also like this. Having said that, I'd also require free web hosting with either a domain or sub domain (both free of charge).
Basic Support - If I'm having an issue regarding my server, I'd like my tickets to be answered as fast as possible, in about 2 hours (from the time-zone GMT +2). Also, I wouldn't mind paying for advanced support (plugin configuration, etc).
Extra Mandatory Features: Dedicated IP and Port, and DDoS Protection
Below, are some of the extra features I'd require. Remember, these are not mandatory, but it would be nice to have.
Free Mumble/TeamSpeak Server - We've got some people from other places, and some of us don't like giving out our Skype, we would love to have a voice server. Also, if you can't do it free, tell me, and I'd try work something out to get one.
BuyCraft Premium - I always have an issue when purchasing BuyCraft. I don't know if this is asking too much, but would it be possible for the premium payment to be included in the monthly server bill?
Okay, that's about it. Also, budget isn't an issue, however, I'm not spending less than $25 (because I know something's wrong if 2GB is $8), and also, no more than $50 (excluding the voice and BuyCraft).
If you're willing to make me an offer, comment below. Please also provide a link to a place where I can see the testimonials (both good and bad). Also, I will only give my Skype out to the host I've chosen, however, feel free to have it in your comment, as I might add you to talk further.
We definitely can fit your needs in terms of what your asking for, We can offer you a Mumble or Teamspeak server (Depends what ever you choose) and 2.5GB of Dedicated ram. We can get you a 1gbps Uplink to your server and our server specs are. dual Intel Xeon E5-2609 (8x2.4GHz) and we can provide you with unlimited HDD Space and Buycraft Premium. We can do this for $30! You can email us at [email protected] and we can take it from there.

Hmmm, I'll check it out. Do you have a forum thread, or something? As I would like to see what your other clients have to say

I think we could work something out. We offer both shared Minecraft hosting and VPS's, both using Multicraft. Get in touch with us at http://doanvps.net or add me on Skype at DVPS-Jack and I'll be able to set you up with something to meet your needs. Every single byte of the RAM we sell you, is dedicated to you, and we use Intel Xeon CPU's exclusively. We have SSD's as an option, and I'd be more than happy to roll BuyCraft Premium into your price.
I'm looking forward to hearing from you!

Hey, Yes we do have a forum post http://www.minecraft...__+deluxemchost we have right now 7 clients, we are still growing and we are a new company but our aim is to provide cheap but still good quality servers with enterprise hardware and zero lag.
I'll wait until you get a little big bigger before considering you. Not in a bad way or anything.

This sounds great! I'll add you on Skype. Hmmm, actually I won't. I already have you from my previous post on my brothers account.

Thats about it!

We do not limit player slots, but some panels require a license as your panel is dedicated.
We do not use BURST on a VPS, but do use VSWAP. The RAM you get is dedicated to you.
We offer 100 Mb/s and optional 1 Gb/s upgrade.
We use E3 series CPU's with the minimum being a E3-1230v2
We do offer multicraft as an option, but the license will be an extra 1 time fee.

No thanks. I was going to use you guys at a stage, but the support (via. Skype) was terrible. I asked a question, and the response I got was "We are unable to support you through Skype. To get your question answered, submit a ticket." (Only they wrote it in "slang" with no punctuation. And so I replied, "Can I have a link to your knowledgebase" only to get the reply, "It's on our site". And then, "Pending contact request".

We're under your budget (never thought i'd say that) at £5.99 for 2Gb or £8.99 for 3Gb. And yes that ram is dedicated, not burst.
However we still offer all the features you asked for, contrary to popular belief having a low price does not mean we oversell, use donkeys to carry the packets to your house, hire children to run the support.

Use of Multicraft
MYSQL
FTP to server files (not a VPS so no SSH).
Unlimited player slots - We don't allow users to directly edit the player slots but if you put in a ticket we can.
All servers are on 100Mb/s line from Ask4 DC in Sheffield, UK.
We own all our own hardware - hence the low prices.
We allow custom JARs at no extra cost, talking of costs the only upgrade is a dedicated IP for £1
We can offer you a 2.5GB server for $22.50 /monthly from our Standard Plans or $30 /monthly from our Premium Plans.
You will have full access to your server, SSD,Quad Core Xeon CPU,2560MB of Dedicated RAM, Configurable Player Slots, Free SRV Subdomain, Free MySQL Database, One-Click installation of more than 30 Mod Packs (Bukkit, Hexxit, Tekkit, FTB, etc.), 1Gb Uplink, Unlimited Bandwidth and 72hr refund if you are not satisfied.

Please refer to this? I sure hope you don't treat your clients like this. (link)

That includes plugins, modpacks or any other isue they might have.
Keep in mind that you install the plugins you want through our OneClick installer in a few seconds.
