[cod] COD4 Server hosting recommendations

[Tyson]

Last time I looked into it the TS website said up to 1000 slots or 10, 100
slot servers as long as you're not charging anything for the access and do
not exceed 10 instances or 1000 slots your fine hosting TS. Which means you
cannot request donations from your clan/guild members.

If a totally dedicated server isn't what your after I personally have used
http://www.clanwarz.com/

Everything they offer is on Linux based servers and has nice webmin
interface. But they didn't have a fast redirect option. That however can be
purchased from almost any webhost. Last I knew Dixiesys.com had a "File
Hosting" plan that gave tons of space and transfer for a decent price. All
you need is a cheap domain name, or do like I did simply create a subdomain
of my clans existing domain (if you have one) and point it at the hosting
space and use that for fast redirects.

As for Teamspeak, expect this to change when 3.0 comes out, but
currently you can host your own for non-profit use up to 100 slots.
Make sure you read the licensing agreement closely, they will
blacklist you if you violate it.

Good luck!
