In an experiment meant to see if we can save some cash, I've obtained a windows virtual machine that I'm running a game server on. Currently running all weaps 72.46.123.38
This also gives us the ability to host Spearhead and/or Breakthrough servers, if people are looking for a change of pace.
Spearhead/Breakthrough anybody?

Love spearhead and breakthrough, but I think I got rid of them because they don't run on newer windows versions.

Re: Spearhead/Breakthrough anybody?
Jawn, if you're having issues - check out the patch for win8. If I remember correctly, it should work for win10 and all the mohaa expansions..

And nice upgrade HOD. Which hosting company did you go though? I think I've posted before about it - but NFO has killer support and the best prices I've ever seen for a VPS. It's who were currently using (for the last 6 years I think). Another solid way to save a few bucks is to host TS off of the box with either a non profit license or no license (allows up to 32 users) - both free options. Then you can have the same IP for TS and Mohaa. Since the default ports are different there's no interference or extra setup
I also use the webhosting offered by NFO for our site. At 3 bucks a month , it's hard to beat. Plus Ive also got a few neat utilities hosted like the Game Control Panel -for my admins to start/stop the servers without ever touching the box, or even load up different configs (like how you do all weapon Wednesday on occasion), a TS3 Web Admin utility that I use for a TS bot to auto move idle clients to AFK and kick clients who've been AFK over a few hours. Then if you attach a domain name to your account you can set redirects for your IP addresses and use "TS.misfits.com' or "Mohaa.misfits.com" and "scrim.misfits.com" in place or an IP address... So many more features than buying a server individually! And a hell of a lot cheaper.
