Where would be a good place to host my server?

[thizzknight]

I'm looking for a server to host my WoW private server. I want to be able to connect to the machine from something like Windows Remote Desktop Connection. The server should have about 4-5gb RAM, 500gb hd, 2.5+ processor, and I'm not really sure about bandwidth limit.... What ever you think is good for server hosting. Please, I would really appreciate the help.

What could you possibly need 500gb for?

Even with 5000+ account records you'll never get anywhere near that number.

[thizzknight]

Ummm idk, but what's the point of asking that when that's no concern of mine?

Because you could get an 80 gig server for a fraction of the cost of a 500 gig. I mean, If you don't want to find the best deal it's no skin of my teeth.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

You asked what we think is best, and I told you 500gb is unnecessary. That's all there is to it.

Okay, I got that. What I'm asking is where I can find a safe one? Like where they don't care what I have on it.

In a country that isn't affected by the DMCA. But, good like finding one cheap. Anyways, why are you worried? Since you're server is trinity based, using NONE of blizzard's code, legally, they can't really do anything(unless you have like WoW or some other Intellectual Trademark included somewhere.(Others, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.))

The Maps/Vmaps and DBCs are blizzard's property.
Still, no one cares unless you start pulling a lot of money.

If you're just starting out, I'd recommend vpsland.com they're cheap and scalable. (If you get a VPSland server, make sure you request a node that doesn't allow torrents.)
I'm not too familiar with dedicated servers, but I remember hearing limestonenetworks.com was good.

Okay, now that is the info I am looking for. Thank you guys! I'm gonna try the business deal for Windows VPS on vpsland.com
@Zymus, do you know if my website would cause any problems with Blizzard?

Terms of Service This not my actual website, but it looks like this because I am using MangosWeb Enhanced for Trinity core. I has a lot of Blizzard logos, but it also has links back to Blizzard's WoW website.

Same thing as the server itself. Unless you're making huge amounts of money, Blizzard doesn't really care.

I wouldn't link* to the official website though.

[thizzknight]

Alright, I will take links to official down.
