I started hosting 92nd servers of a server box in Germany and then branched out to offering servers to projects and tournaments in the community. Its a side project that I've been running for a few months now and its just a little something that I can do to help give back to the community. There is no cost to any servers provided by myself as this is a side project.
FAQ
Q/ Why?
A/ I believe that if you can help someone, you should so if I am able to help some people by giving a server or 2 to them for free, then I should do that. Plus, the monthly bill is the same whether I host one server or one thousand. It doesn't affect me in anyway to host more and its the right thing to do.
Q/Why not charge for the service?
A/ This is a side project for me and its not something that I'm looking to do on a full time basis or make a career. Plus it is just me and as active as I try to be, I cannot provide the support that a company can so theoretically if you encountered any issues whilst I was out working, there would be no support until I am back which could be hours after the issue.
Q/ I've had a server from you for a while and never had any issues, can I pay you as a thank you?
A/ No. However if you do feel like you want to part with a little cash, find a local charity or an issue that is important to you and donate to them. Everyone wins that way :)
Q/ Do you do the work on my server?
A/ No. Once the server is created I will send you the link to the panel which will have all your services listed and allow you to edit the server as you please, such as adding maps, changing module or uploading scripts. Only you and whoever you give access to the panel to, will be able to edit it.
Q/ What can I get a server for?
A/ Absolutely anything.
Q/ What locations do you offer?
A/ France only.
Q/ How can I contact you for anything?
A/I have various methods of contact. I'll respond to enquires via them all at the same speed.

Update
Currently all servers are Offline. The server box crashed and isn't responding. The exact cause of the issue is unclear. It has been reported to the team who do the inhouse repairs and once its back up and running I'll post another update.
Update
All servers are back Online. The cause of the issue was a disconnection between the box and the panel but the only thing required was a manual reset.
Update
Still awaiting the French server box being set up, but have added the specs of the German server box. Awaiting confirmation of the specs of the French one but will add them when I find out. Will also be finalising an update to the panel, you may have already seen it if you've got access to the panel ;)
Well after a year and a bit, I'm pulling all servers down. This will officially happen on the 26th June. You have untill then to save and copy any files, scripts or anything at all. After this time, it will be deleted.
Reason for this: I no longer wish to spend my evenings and late nights figuring out why servers won't switch on.
I could stroke my ego and break it down into slots, tournaments provided for, number of servers or even regiments and groupfighting teams. However, I don't need this in my life.
As a final parting gift, use code "uni" for 30% off your billing for the full lifetime at Arctic Servers (https://www.arcticservers.co.uk/) I'm sure they'll be able to provide you a server is exactly what you're looking for and at an even better price!
(that's legit btw and I don't recieve any commision)

I hope I've helped the community accross this time.
