You'd be stupid to host it locally. Do you have any experience in Linux? Any experience hosting any games at all?

In agreement with this. If you have a decent understanding of Linux, that's good, and it won't be too big of a leap, but I've seen people who can't even use Linux want root access to mission-critical servers for idiotic reasons, and it's really painful to see.

On another point, the website is also important. The best billing software is probably WHMCS, which is about £15 a month, but some webhosts provide it for free, which could be worth looking in to to start, and often these offer reseller webhosting, which allows you to look into that aswell as games.

Hi. I help with a GH company. My two cents is that you need to have the time, effort and money to put in to it. Panel wise, you've got 2 options really; TCAdmin and Pterodactyl.io Pterodactyl is well worth it in my eyes, and it's what we use, but you require more skill to get it setup as you have to write custom scripts for games and so on and so forth. Additionally, Pterodactyl doesn't include a mod manager or FastDL if any of them were requirements. You can develop these and there are many developers who would be willing to do that if you paid. Also, there is a discord for support where many people will help you out. TCAdmin has most of the features listed above, but has awful Linux support, crashes every second of it's lifetime and is a complete and utter shambles. TCA support isn't awful, but you will probably end up with a janky version of TCA from all of the fixes they push for your specific installation. TLDR; TCA is not worth it if you can put the time into Pterodactyl. Additionally, you need a selling point, something that sets you away from the crowd. Pterodactyl isn't the popular option at the moment, but it is the best and most stable I've seen, so it is a good selling point. Don't cheap out on prices, but offer a good price correlating to your service quality. Imo, too many companies are being run by inexperienced people during holidays. I've known people who didn't even know how to setup either of the two options above, and others who didn't even know how to use basic commands in most linux distros. Tag me if you want anything else answered Conn PS: Run the panel, TCA or Pterodactyl, on a VPS and the server daemon on a dedicated server with good single core performance. Rent them at a reputable host, ideally with DDoS protection. OVH may be a good place to start for decent priced servers. Hetzner auction servers have not got DDoS protection (AFAIK) but offer cheap, decent servers with good quality service and good support (through phone). Also, TCA costs £15 per node and pterodactyl is free and open source.

HDD detected, SSD is not, going to check all connections now Seems to read a disk. Gonna try a few more things now So, it seems that it's down to a sata controller or something like that. The bottom 4 sata ports don't seem to recognise anything. It's definitely worth RMAing, so that will be an option. using the top 2 sata ports it posts, which leads me to believe that obviously it is down to a sata controller. Any ideas on this, let me know, but I'm going to contact the company I bought it from and request an RMA Along with that, top 2 USB ports are gone aswell. Definitely a controller issue Update: 14 bios versions later, it's all fixed Cheers

What I don't understand is how this computer was working not 2 hours ago, and now it's not recognising either drive in it. Surely that can't just be a coincidence that both sata cables got pulled out. I want to make sure it's not something others have experienced before pulling it out EDIT: USB sticks dont detect either

Sorry about that, will do. Windows 10, and yeah, it's a Samsung SSD. I'll have to post the image from phone in a moment. Doesn't look like it

Hi I'm having an issue where my computer boots straight into the bios, and when I leave, it resets back into the bios. I'm running an ab350 gaming 3, r5 1600 and gtx 960, and have previously overclocked but now my values are set to auto and I am running 3.2ghz If anyone has any ideas, I'd be over the moon Thanks, Conn

got the same package as OP, and yes, I have in the past gotten around 350mbps at non-peak times.

cool, cheers

anything to be worried about?

Just a followup, which I notice is strange, https://gyazo.com/2fb647ec9e83c7687d04e439dd21015c Is this normal for the multiplier to fluctuate? It goes between around 15-16x then to my 37.5x multiplier.
