Well i took the plunge! I'm now the proud admin of my very own dedicated (small atm..) minecraft server. Setup was easy enough (tho I'm a tech guy so that helps) and the customer service is great!
for you elricsfate :biggrin.gif:
Glad you are liking everything so far blade :smile.gif:. Be sure to tell your friends! Nice to see another Linux user around :wink.gif:.
just a little update for anyone curious about this hosting service...
I had 2 problems when i first started my server with Havox, both were due to me missing a couple of important things. elricsfate was very quick to answer my tickets, and went through things with me and it was sorted out in no time. It's been a couple of days now, and everything is working trouble free! I don't notice any lag, and I'm told by other users that it's working fine.
Threads merged. You don't need a separate thread for customer reviews.
I am not sure why you merged that thread :/. I didn't make the other thread nor am I really sure I want it merged with this thread. On top of that it doesn't seem like people posting reviews of other hosting services get merged with whoever they are reviewing.

Uhm.. I do not work for elric, i'm just a recruiter ..
So this thread should be un-merged again, i am just a guy that likes to help, and i am in no way working for elric.
Hey, I just was interested how much a server for five people would cost. I don't know if it makes a difference, but we are stretched out from the east cost to the west coast of the US. My knowledge when it comes to servers is minimal, so let me know if you need more info.

Howdy Stumbo,
I have a new plan for $3.99 a month that should hold around 5 players. It has been selling like hot cakes. That should do you just fine.
I just bought one of the 5 person servers stated above, and it's working really well so far. Both me and the other player are from the UK and experiencing little to no lag and the service has been great. He even logged on the server when it started to see how we were doing and if there was anything he could help us with! Super friendly guy and super server quality so far. I recommend it. :smile.gif:
(I actually signed up to the forum just to come give my thoughts on it, I was that impressed. I'm not a fake account here to give a biased review :tongue.gif:)
Howdy Vaeriz,
I am glad you are enjoying the server so far and hope you continue to feel the same way! Please be sure to tell everyone about hAvox Hosting!
I recently brought a server from this guy, Really good.
Not too expensive great staff always willing to lend a hand. So dont go to any off this tree puncher server hosting, go to this guy. He knows what he is doing and derserves the cash.
Glad your enjoying everything so far! Be sure to tell anyone about us looking for hosting!
recently bought a server from havox hosting with a group of friends and the service couldn't have been better!
server seemed to go up easily and then once we were on and getting around the server elricsfate came into the server to personally ask us how things were going and make sure everything was good.
despite our distance from the server pings and speed is awesome, we have 150-250 ping in New Zealand to the servers and max our lines loading the chunks at login.
couldn't really ask for any better service it seems almost perfect :smile.gif: ild recommend havox hosting to anyone no matter their location in the world!
heres a little video we made last night while messing with TNT canons, as you see there is no lag at all (other than the tnt physics but we cant help that that is just java not being able to keep up with it)
I just got my server from havox this morning for 20 slots and its is wonderful. The only problem I have had was when one of my admins tried to world edit a huge area and crashed the server but thats normal in any server. I would HIGHLY recommend this host to anyone who wants to host a server. Support is very helpful and the control panel is awesome!

Hey I'm currently running a 8 slot server with Multiplay but the managed support is absolutely horrible and I'm looking to migrate out of there. I'm looking to manage this mostly myself and install Canary and some plugins including RuneCraft. Is it possible for me to send in my current configuration and then update plugins on my own?
Looking at your options I'd be thinking either 10 or 20 slot that you offer, not sure yet.

Howdy!
Elric will help you with migrating, yes. But i am not sure he will install canary for you. I do think you'll have to do that yourself, but i could be wrong. The plugins he will help you with though.
Well the install is run a batch file to start the process, so it isn't exactly difficult. That's my main reason for switching too, Multiplay support can't sort out how to open a zip and put the files in the server.jar. Each ticket takes a week and several emails a day re-explaining how to do it. I'm tired of it and I'm going somewhere else.
There are a LOT of hosts in here and I doubt I can do worse for support so I'm sure I'll find something.
Well havox gives you full access to the .jar. They run on linux so you can't use a batch file however you can download your server.jar edit it on your windows pc then upload it to the server via ftp.

That sounds fine, I think there is a .sh file for the linux install? Canary is hmod anyway and I know it runs fine on linux. I haven't done too much with linux, but I have used unix in the past so it should be fine.
With FTP and being able to restart the minecraft server that's about all at least until the mods need mysql and all that other jazz.
