Hi chris,

First of all: I'm sorry for my late reply...

Thanks for your offer The only problem now is that we only have 1 mysql database, so if that one goes down i'm affraid the website will also be down for now...

I am planning to setup a mirror database server at some point (master-master sync, so 2 ways), but for this I will need shell access to the MySQL server...

I don't know where your server is located? Is it reliable? (24/7, 365 days)

Thanks, hope to hear from you soon...

Best regards,

Hi Frank,

the server is located in germany, it is 24/7 and hast ipv4 und ipv6.

Tell me what you need (only mysql server, complete mirror via rsync, openttd server, ...)

I am trying at the moment, if it is possible to have 2 or 3 openttd running with full loads. Looks good at the moment.

Hi Chris,

Thank you for your message on hosting a server... Really appreciated

We need to have the following specs to run a few openttd servers:

- Debian Linux
- Latest version of MONO compiled on the system ( www.mono-project.com/Main_Page )
- MySQL Support for Mono
- MySQL Server which can be mirrored to another server
- Shell Access with SSH and SFTP to replace renewed plugins and restart servers when needed.
- Fast Internet Upload Speed / Connection

The server needs to be REALLY reliable offcourse (24/7/365)

In return for this we can give you advertising space on the website and in-game and anything else you can think off which is usable for you on the servers...

OpenTTD is not really hardware demanding... We are now running 7 instances and it's not even taking 25% of the hardware resources which I have (which is a duo core 1.8GHZ with 8GB RAM). My only problem is my internet connection...

Anyway... It would be GREAT if you could help us to host some servers and fallback for the website

It would be great if you can join us on IRC sometimes to have a chat... You can find the details and a browser based IRC client on the "Contact Us" page...

Thanks again and hope to hear from you soon...
