Possible Provider Change

[shadow=yellow,left]Possible
Provider
Change[/shadow]
[shadow=yellow,left]Q: [/shadow]Why make the change now?
[shadow=yellow,left]A: [/shadow]This new provider will allow us
to offer a server twice the size for half the cost. Currently we
are renting from Brittish company which means their prices are
set in GBP and we are paying over $80 a month for 60 players.
This new provider will allow us to host a full 100 player server
for under $60. Unless they've changed their service from before,
we will be able to use BEC with our server which allows us to
set up automated messages, proper automatic restarts with proper
warnings, and execute our own custom files like automated SQL
backups, server file backups, mods, etc. Basically, we will have
all the freedoms of hosting on a dedicated box with the price
and luxuries of renting from a provider.
[shadow=yellow,left]Q: [/shadow]Why didn't you just rent from
this provider in the first place?
[shadow=yellow,left]A: [/shadow]This provider didn't offer
exile at the time of it's release and doesn't expect to offer it
for another few days. They are currently testing and making sure
that will not experience any bugs or issues when renting a
preset server from their company. They expect to offer ArmA 3
Exile servers sometime over the next few days.
[shadow=yellow,left]Q: [/shadow]What does this mean for us?
[shadow=yellow,left]A: [/shadow]The only change will be a new
server IP.
[shadow=yellow,left]Q: [/shadow]Will there be a wipe? Will we
have to start over?
[shadow=yellow,left]A: [/shadow]It is extremely unlikely that
we will have a database wipe. Both servers will use the same
style SQL database so we shouldn't encounter any issues copying
the database to the new server. When logging into the new IP you
should pick up right where left off on the current server.
