This is the third and final post of three part series reviewing some game servers. You can find the first post here: After I’m Done Using the Computer I Like to Relax and Use the Computer
It started for me playing Half Life, and wanting to connect with others online to make the game a little more exciting. It started for the people at GameData, Inc. as a route for gamers to become connected. They turned it into a massive gaming server network with servers around the country, and now even support dedicated voice over Ventrilo Server sites. DallasXtreme is the name of their dedicated Ventrilo Hosting site, and secured Ventrilo voice over servers are the game. Continue reading »
It’s not always business as usual, and believe it or not many people have fun online. This brings me to the topic of gaming servers. UGT Servers offers Ventrilo and Teamspeak servers. Stop hogging your own bandwidth by hosting a Teamspeak channel, and have your friends share a low cost server designed just for you. A Ventrilo Server is very inexpensive.
UGT Severs has a fairly broad global presence so speed and connectivity issues should not be problem. Here is a listing of country locations, Ventrilo Hosting. They offer aggressive pricing, as low as $2.69 a month for ten people, and can support as many as 100 persons. Servers are web based controlled, and are easy to manage. They even have flash tutorials to help you along if you are new to this kind of stuff. There is no limitations to bandwidth besides the number of persons using it, and once you are up and running you can kiss could bye to dogging your own computer.
I admit, I used to be one of those gaming fanatics, and I even hosted my own Teamspeak server. The server was really my pc, and in fact it was the PC I played the games on. That is a drag, and I just wished there was a service like this when I played a lot. Want to start a gaming community? Support it with a Ventrilo Server, and make everyone know about it on your site.
Bravely going where no site has gone before, at least on Best Web Image, Best Web Hosting has volunteered their site for some survey questions of their own. Best Web Hosting is a hosting review site. They have a top ten list of best hosts, and a side by side comparison for them. They also have several articles in regards to hosting as well.
Ready to take the survey? Five simple questions that will take you about 1 minute to answer.

I’ve wrote a few posts about servers lately, and I thought you might like to know a really great resource for all you web hosting questions. The Web Hosting Forum.
Webmaster Forum is an extremely large and active forum. As the title indicates, its primary focus is on web hosting, but it covers several other subjects. The main forum categories are:
It covers several topics obviously, but if you are really interested in web hosting only, you can find tutorials, reseller information, coupons, and a lot more. With over 2,000 members, any questions you may post will get quickly answered. Almost every category had over 20 visitors reading at a given time. You can also earn points by posting, so there is an incentive to answer threads. The site also just gained one new member while I was writing this post, Camp185. I just joined, and plan on making a few posts of my own.
Created in vBulletin, the owner obviously is investing more than just time, but money as well. vBulletin, in my book, is the best forum software you can buy.
Today’s site review is about Upper Host. Upper Host reviews the best website hosting services, and they have been doing it since 1999. The site has a huge listing of host services, with all the basic details about them. Of course, they show the top ten on the home page.
Besides being a directory of hosting services, they have a great deal of articles about picking the right plan. They also have plenty of information about running a website in general. They start with the basics, getting a server, and work their way up through all the things you will most likely come across while running a web business.
Here are some of the key articles I found:
Basically the site is loaded with some good information, and that list is actually much longer than I reveal. If you are just looking for a great hosting company, no problem. It’s right there on the home page. The current leader as of Jan. 2008, is Bluehost according to Upper Host. I know I like the price, $6.95 a month.
