Night of the Dead dedicated Server renting Guide and Provider Comparison

• 4Netplayers
• Pingperfect
• Hosthavoc
• Zap-Hosting
• Myblackboxhosting
• G-Portal

G-Portal.com

G-Portal.com – Best offer: 100 Slots – US $63
This host is offering the best price for a 100 Slot server and has great cpu power of 4,9 Ghz without the need to upgrade. They have free DDoS protection and allow to switch the game running on your server instantly if you wish to. Offering 50GB of storage space, there is enough free space for saved games and different configurations / mods. This is the only host who is offering more than 120 player slots. At G-Portal you can rent 150, 250, 500 and even 1000 player slot servers. I’m not sure if their hardware can handle this and will contact G-Portal if this is a bug in their configuration software or some kind of misunderstanding. I will update this article accordingly.

Myblackboxhosting.com

Myblackboxhosting.com – 120 Slots – 122,40 US $
If you want to have a really crowded Night of the Dead Server Myblackboxhosting should be considered as a solid host for high player counts. 3,9 Ghz CPU’s are stock with the option to upgrade to the 4,7 Ghz + Ultra OC setup. You can as well pay for real-time-cpu execution priority to get rid of stuttering even with a player count of up to 120 simultaneous players. This is awesome but comes at a reasonably high price. Their low slot servers are fairly well priced offering a 10 Player Night of the Dead Server for only 10,20 $ US. Considering their high performance hardware this is well priced. However, if you like to have a server with more than 20 players and below 80 Playerslots, there are better priced options available than Myblackboxhosting.

Zap-Hosting.com

Zap-Hosting.com – 16 Slots – 10.82 €
This provider offers flexible hardware upgrade options that allows you to customize the server hardware to your requirements. By adding a lot of Ram and computing power, you can even run modded servers with a high load and a lot of simultaenous players. Ram range from 6gb to 22gb of RAM but you have to pay a lot for the upgraded ram specs. And this Host doesn’t offer dedicated servers with a low or high playercount. 16 Player server is the minimum you can rent for Night of the Dead – 50 Slots are max.

Pingperfect.com

Pingperfect.com – 12 Slots -€10.56EUR – $12.36USD – £9.60GBP
Pingperfect offers a wide variety of regions where your rented server could be located. Beside the usual suspects pingperfect also allows dedicated server hosting in Brasil, Singapore and South Africa. They also offer Night of the Dead servers hosted in russia, tho these might not be the best option for russian gamers. Are’nt there much cheaper hosting offers in russia? Let me know in the comments. The pingperfect servers aren’t very cheap but they do offer quality hosting and a great webinterface.

Discounts and Payment Options:

4Netplayers.com

4netplayers.com – 8 slots – 3,78 € (Special Offer)
A very good but still cheap dedicated server provider whose origin is located in Germany. They do offer servers in Europe as well as overseas. 4Netplayers is very active in the dedicated server business and a trustworthy company since more than a decade. Their servers offer high performance and low pings within Germany, the Netherlands, France, Belgium, Austria and Switzerland. Even People from Czech, Poland, Luxembourg, Italy and Spain can play very well on these german quality servers without getting high pings. They have their own backbone due to residing within the freenet data center which is run by a german internet access and webservice provider.

Hosthavoc.com

Hosthavoc.com – 80 Slot Night of the Dead Server – 30 $
Hosthavoc offers dedicated servers with a population from 10 to 80 players. While their smallest server setup already has a very good price point their high slot Night of the Dead servers are really a bargain. You won’t find another 80 slot server cheaper anywhere. Priced at 30$ this equals only 0,37$ or about 0,30 € per slot. This is an even cheaper per slot cost than the hoster with the lowest at all price (4netplayers.com with their special offer) can provide. 4Netplayers offer their 8 Slot server for a very reasonable price but compared to the high capacity servers from Hosthavoc this still is more expensive per slot. Hosthavoc has a lack of server locations but if their available server locations meet your region there is not much to think about. Good webinterface, modding support and easy backups make Hosthavoc one of the best hosting companies for night of the dead servers with unbeatable price point on high slot servers!
