It's not known yet, we're still deciding which offer we're gonna go with for the game server as this is the most expensive and most important network-wise.

The current ideal choice for the game server cost ~45€ per month (and we get a whooping 3.9ghz CPU!), which is still less than what we currently pay per month. The downside is the 60€ one-time setup fee if we go with it. Alas it's the best offer in every possible way so it's likely to be the chosen one.

The web server is paid entirely by <redacted> to relieve some donation stress, hence why donations will always go towards the pot for the game server.

Have you found out what was causing bad things on the last new server ? Aka one after moving to which we've returned to the old one

We wanted to take advantage of a limited-time offer with OVH that could have allowed us to have a more powerful server apparently specifically designed to host game servers. The server was stable and pretty good all-around, but the routing we were on had absolutely crap connectivity and OVH refused to do anything about it. That's why we went back to the previous (current) server.

The current candidate is one I got to work with some time ago for professional matters so I know the service quality we can expect.

Quote:Additionally, a news that might make some people really happy (looking at you @Yber) is that we're cutting ties with OVH. Their service has been poor to say the least (I personally don't know of any hosting company that just tells you to deal with it when the server you're renting dies and it takes them two weeks to get it back online, including full data loss) so well, they're not going to be missed.
