If there's a demand from US to have an i4Games BT server, I can give it a try. I guess you guys are also interested into rushing with a decent ping and a decent timer?
In Europe, a dedicated server hosting can range from 50 to 200 dollars per month. It depends on several factors actually. I've no idea how much it is in the US.
Question: West or East coast? You're in CA, so that's West for you. But I wonder where the majority of US BT players are. Or.. We need servers at both ends.
You guys have a big country!

That is mostly the biggest demand, rushing with a decent ping. So im thinking it would be best for a rush server first (americans will still have to cap the map on euro training server).
Now the question is seeing that dedicated servers are more expensive compared to hosted/leased servers, does this server have to be dedicated? (im guessing because dedicated gives you full control and website features aswell)
Im asking because a hosted server runs around $6-$10 a month...compared to $50-$200.
And the best location would be Chicago seeing that its in the middle of the US pretty much and mostly all americans can ping under 100 no matter their location.
Ive also read in this post about some server space you may have that are not being utilized but you cant convert them to US servers. But can you not just drop the payments for that server and use tho's funds to open a US server instead? Either way money will still be put into by me but i just wanna get the specifics down.

There is only one dedicated server that hosts all our UT servers actually. I prefer a dedicated one for several reasons:
It's easier for me to maintain and install all the i4Games-related stuff.
It allows me to run a web server with a local copy of the database for faster logins.
It ensures the privacy of data such as the login and password of members.
I've searched for dedicated hosting in the US, but it's more expensive than in EU. I'll keep searching...

thats kind of the idea i was leaning towards, you don't wanna spend money on something that isn't being used so u might as well drop it if that is actually the case. But yea once u find a good affordable dedicated server please post it or even post the only ones you can find so this way we know what kind of numbers we are looking at. Thank you!

As I said previously, all the UT servers run on a single server computer. So shutting them down won't make me save any money.
