I was searching for a hoster for a small dev server and I found these guys. They're great! Before I purchased, their live support staff set me up a test server to try out before I bought it. They even changed the amount of RAM on demand!
I filed a support ticket and the support was phenomenal. They replied within minutes and solved my problems.
Don't be scared away by the prices either. I wasn't expecting much out of my $2.00 SSD server, but wow, I'm pretty darn impressed
These guys are great. I have tried many different hosts and it is very hard to find people that both know server hosting and minecraft. EVL knows their stuff. Support is fast. Prices are great. Very professtional. Looking for a host? Stop now. If you are going to host a minecraft server of anysize, you need EVL Gaming.
Want a good, helpful, server hosting company?
Look no farther! By far the experience with evlgaming I've had is phenomenal.
They have wonderful customer service. Live Chat makes this company one step ahead of the competition. With reasonable prices, this company comes with everything you would expect from a Minecraft Server.
I do encourage them to keep up the good work.
Little Side Note: I recently switched from Beastnode, and so far the services, evlgaming has here, has by far made my choice to switch to this company much easier.
I really appreciate the work they have done, sincerely this is a good company that's respectable.

I've never tried hosting a server. My family and I just wanted a place where we could go and build a world together. I decided to give EVL Gaming a try. For the price, I figured if it didn't work out it was no big loss. I had a ton of trouble trying to set all this up myself. So I went into chat with Ryan of EVL Gaming. Holy cow. The help I got from him was fantastic. He literally walked me through the things I needed to know to get my server up and running. I've been playing away ever since. I told him he deserves a special HERO cape just for him, lol. Every time I come to him with a question, he has the perfect answer. I give the server and the service two huge thumbs up! Thank you Ryan!!

You can't burst RAM on Xen, only use swap. Xen is a lot more difficult to oversell than OpenVZ too, though it requires only 3 lines of code.
Customer should note this before buying a server. Swap memory is always slow.
Thanks for pointing this out. We used to sell OpenVZ but then quickly realized how awful it ran minecraft, and I hadn't edited the burstable RAM part out since we started offering Xen servers. I have also put a disclaimer in to prevent anyone from thinking that SWAP memory is a cheap substitute for actual RAM.
Also even though SWAP is not very fast, it can still be used as a means of preventing minecraft crashes, albeit the server would slow down immensely if any SWAP was used for the java process. Personally I'd rather see the server crash if it was out of memory, so that it could clear all the entities and start fresh.
I can also assure you that we do not oversell, although many hosts do. EVL Gaming has discovered that following the straight and narrow can also be rewarding, sometimes more so than trying to cheat customers.
Above is a screenshot of one of our nodes. Please note the node memory is the dom0 memory used for the Xen management software. VPS memory is our total available memory on the system, which is not yet full on this node.
Not trying to sling mud at you at all Juze, as many hosts try to run companies to make them a quick buck, without caring much for their customers. Or they try to "play business" just for fun. I can assure everyone that EVL Gaming is not like that all.

It was a pleasure working with you John. I'm glad to hear you're enjoying your services with us! Good look with Ghost PVP
I herd that EVL gaming needed people to review them so I made an account to do so.
First I am a difficult customer and tend to ask the same questions over and over again. EVL gamings customer support is extremely dedicated and helpful.
Secondly EVL gaming not only tells you what you need for what server you wish to run but teaches you all about it too. In the long run is very helpful.
Thirdly their servers tend to get set up 1 - 2 minutes after I order them, and then the customer support helps me finish setting up.
Forthly they are honest people, most server hosts that I have been to don't refund if you're leaving them, and if they do they just give you a little bit back. EVL gaming gives you a refund according to how long you have had the service and how much is costs.
So if you're looking for a server provider for Minecraft, Source games, or any other game (just ask the customer support) they will have it the way you want it for the right price.
I'm by no means an expert on server hosting myself, but their customer support is super fast and knows what's up - I'd pay for their customer support alone. That's how good it is.
The servers are also legitimate and the prices are very fair, so look no further whether you're looking for a 2 slot server or a 200+ slot server for whatever game you may need a server for.
Plus, you can get a full refund, so there's nothing to lose by at least trying them out - I'm honestly surprised they're not more popular. Give it a go!
I have recently just purchased a server from this small company and I am surprised to say that the quality of these servers surpasses that of a big well known company . So far on my server (which has been running for 2 1/2 weeks atm) I have had no lag, and no corruption on my worlds. All of my plugins also work with little hassle thanks to the speed of the server.
For a small company these guys i rate 10/10 and I would do business with them again. Hopefully one day they can become a grand corporation like others and expand their business across the globe

EVL Gaming is excited to announce that we are now offering affordable minecraft servers in Europe!
Our first European Node fr1.evlgaming.com is now online! If you live in a European country this will likely be a better alternative to our US options. Any customer who wants to switch over to EU can simply open a support ticket and be moved free of charge!
I bought a server and it was fun lag free and worked grate there was no problems and i sugjest if you can host a server yourself that you should buy one of these servers.

Thanks for the review Wicked! I'm glad you and your family are enjoying the server. I do need to work on getting an EVL cape though, perhaps new business idea? xD
I'm pleased to announce that our September Deals sale is now open! New customers can take 35% off their service for the first two months. This deal is good only for month-to-month plans (no prepay). Each week we'll release a new deal, and provided we don't run out of stock the deal will last through the entire month.
Our first deal of the week is on our SSD series! Our SSD servers gurantee you maximum performance, but only 5GB of disk. For most customers 5GB of disk space is plenty, but for larger servers, you may want to check out our 10K series as those servers run on WD Velociraptor 10,000 RPM drives, and provide you with 10GB space.
All of our plans come with a free 5GB auto backup account from backupmc.com!
Week 1 deals require you enter coupon code "septweek1" at checkout to receive the discount!
Is the 33% off a one time thing or does it last for ever?
It's 35% off and your discount lasts for two months. Meaning your first and second month would be 35% off, your third month (November) would be full price, unless of course we release another deal!
Does anyone else find it weird that a majority of the accounts complimenting there work have 1-3 posts. It is obviously the server host bumping his thread with multiple accounts : /
I had to point this out, I can't stand when hosting companies get away unnoticed when they do things like that. It is just false advertisement.

I'm a bit offended that you would make an assumption like that, at the same time I can't blame you, as I'm sure many hosts do this.
We ask our customers to review us here (positive or negative) and many times they don't have an account on minecraft forums so they make one. If you feel that its false advertising, I encourage you to report those posts to the moderators that you feel are fake, and I'd be happy to provide proof to the moderators that they are indeed customers.
Also based on your logic, I see you've written a review for another hosting company, but when you posted it your post count was quite low. Wouldn't it be wrong for me to assume that you are the hosting company on an alternate account?

We've added a new 10% off discount code "MCF" for Minecraft Forum members to use! It takes 10% off your service for life, and is still applied even if you upgrade/downgrade your plan.
Minecraft Servers start at $4/mo for 1GB RAM and 10GB NVME Disk
Customer should note this before buying a server. Swap memory is always slow.
