Maybe there's a subreddit or something

Or you could pay a YouTuber to play your server if you've got the $

[dusty breach]

it's another user

[rough mango]

He's not staff anymore

[dusty breach]

i legit laughed

even when he even told to stop and continued

[rough mango]

Yeah I've seen the thread

Guy's getting ripped off big time though I can agree with that

However his marketing techniques were a bit more on the questionable side

[potent dragon]

Still not as bad as milahosting, joined my server only to promote milahosting, then proceed to make all their available servers into milahosting vanilla which was pretty much ad servers

[rough mango]

Can't say I've ever heard of them; however they don't even use whmcs, they use Mubeen's billing system which should always be a red flag

Also they resell dedi's which is great

[sour jasper]

I mean reselling dedis isn't really less valid than reselling resources on a dedi

[potent dragon]

What's the difference

[sour jasper]

One lets you customize what you're using compute resources on more freely than the other

[rough mango]

I mean the whole reason someone would pay for shared hosting is because they can pay $4 for 2gb's rather than $200 for 128 when they're only going to use 2.

Reselling dedi's is literally just a marked up price, you gain nothing from it and might as well just purchase from the original provider

so i pay 4$ for 2gb or i pay 160$ 80 gb, or alternativley i pay another fee on top of that of lets say 200$ for 80gb cause they resold the dedi

[rough mango]

You're just paying an extra like $20 a month for no gain other than putting money in the provider's pocket

[foggy aspen]

unless they offer something custom like software or smth

even then

[rough mango]

They'll offer to install their modified pterodactyl on it but an extra like $60 a month but then you literally lose IMPI and SSH lmao

You could buy all the addons they have slapped on for that price

[sour jasper]

You can just as easily buy a VPS from the actual host

my overall point is that it's not less of a valid service, some people are willing to pay a large premium for a panel, easier use and support

no matter whether you're buying a single docker container or an entire dedi's worth of resources

[potent dragon]

Dats me lmao, tried doing the panel myself once and.. just went with lyhme

[rough mango]

Most reselling hosts still offer unmanaged dedi's so you don't even gain anything from it

Regardless of whether people are willing to pay the premium, it's a stupid thing to do

[rough mango]

Pterodactyl isn't intended for the ease installation lol

[sour jasper]

I wasn't aware reselling unmanaged dedis was popular

[potent dragon]

xD

[rough mango]

I know of two hosts within the Unturned industry itself that to do it

[sour jasper]

iirc for example modern does offer them as an option but they actually have a price increase for unmanaged vs managed

[rough mango]

And not only is it blatantly obvious they resell Hetzner, but their not even a registered company to be able to colocate in a dedi

[potent dragon]

I could get the ptero part going but had issues with mysql and some plugins... Hosting service it's just a ticket and they fix the MySQL, but I couldn't find out how to make it work or even why it wasn't working to start with

[sour jasper]

tbf reselling Hetzner/OVH is literally the entire business
