Beta going down for memory upgrade
Beta was provisioned with four gigs of memory, which is not enough. We’re having the box fixed up and moved to eight gigs but that means they will be powering off the box in a moment. We’re sorry, but we have to get the memory in there. EDIT: Maintenance Completed! Share on Facebook
Beta is online. Move there, Please!!!
beta.hostedgameservers.com has come online today. This box is in Central USA and sports plenty of room for new customers. If you are having any kind of lag issues, I would much appreciate if you could head over to Beta in Central. There has been overcrowding while we were waiting for new hardware so the more [...]

Minecraft reaches beta status, releases update for server v1

HGSPanel now allows users to move their servers to different locations on demand!
Most companies make you pick a location right when you buy your server – then you’re there… forever. We thought: wouldn’t it be cool if users could actually move their servers to any of our locations… whenever they wanted? What if users could actually choose that they wanted a server hosted on the East Coast [...]
Dallas box is here!
If you want to transfer your server over to central, send in a support request. As of right now the east box are closed to any further orders. To test your ping, open up command prompt and do a tracert zeta.hostedgameservers.com. From the far east coast it gets about 50-80ms. Share on Facebook
HostedGameServers.com was attacked… shortly after calling out other privders’ hosting BS.
A great book I read recently, Rework by 37 signals says that unless you piss someone off from time to time, you’re not being aggressive enough. It looks like we are in fact aggressive enough. Yesterday someone managed to exploit or otherwise cause extreme load to Omega around mid day. We have estated a virtual [...]
