Fucked up thing is that me and my old clan paid quite a bit extra for DDOS protection. We owned our own server boxes, so having them host VS renting 2 dedicated boxes off of Chicago Gameservers was much much cheaper.
The limitations as far as admin tools,mods ect ect that NFOservers puts on their box rentals is pretty retarded. It's like they know that they have shit bandwidth.
Its sad that even after 10+ years NFOservers is pretty much the same bottom of the barrel "Budget Friendly" server host that they were back then.
If we would switch over to Chicago Gameservers we would most likely loose all of our Aussies and quite a few people from over the pond due to the higher pings. Can't have that happen. For the past 3-4 weeks? I'm pinging between 48-53ms in our COD4 servers which was normally 29-33ms.
Here run tracert on 104.160.131.1 It's a the Valorant game server that my nephew plays on, which is hosted by Chicago Gameservers. I bet you won't get a single funky hop.
I'm thinking it is time to ditch NFOservers. There have been a crap pile of new hosts pop up in the last 4-5 years on the east coast. Just have to find an affordable 1 that fits our needs.
