Currently we have 4 Server Operators:

We are badly looking for moderators!

Want to be part of the team?! Want to help?! Read below...


 
NOTE:
Admins will act on the basis that ALL players know the game and it's mechanics.
We think that no one goes to an online game without first some practice and know how to play it.
Companies without registered nicknames (as shown in Client List) on it, can be reset without warning!
To learn OpenTTD mechanics, there is a forum/wiki and... a Single Player mode!!
Practice before playing on BTPro, and if you decide to start, READ THE RULES first.


 
If you wish to become part of the BTPro Server Operator family, ensuring that the rules are upheld with fairly and justly,
the willingness to teach new players on how to play the game and to make sure BTPro is one of the most relaxed,
entertaining servers out there for OpenTTD then apply in the Moderator Applications section below!

Also do not hesitate to ask us a question in the forums or when you see us online on one of the servers!

Happy Gaming!

OpenTTD Installation Issues 11 years 2 months ago #2093

it's probably not the right thread, but can I ask what the costs are for btpro... it's closeto the right thread, client, installation, using the software and the servers... pay for it.

Sure you can :-)

Right now we have about 4 physical servers. 2 in the Eu region and 2 in the USA.

Luckily for the BTPro community we have very generous members and admins. 1 server in the EU is hosted by HSquishy. It's a 4 processors @ 2,6ghz - 8GB dedicated server which costs around 35 euros a month (correct me if im wrong Squishy :-)).

Then we have 1 vps in the netherlands which we now only use for our MySQL server but which soon will be abandoned. This one costs 23 euros a month (which is a way to high price actually for what we get.)

Then in the USA we have 1 VPS (www.serveralley.com), vps name: Jupiter which we get for a lower price from them plus a dedicted server which costs around 45 USD a month (Colocation, server is now Kadar's property after hiring it for 12 months, price before colo was about 65 USD).

I hope this is enough info for you, if you want to know more, please reply in this thread.

PS: yes, we are paying this money from our own pocket every month, donations is unfortunatly not enough to cover all costs allthough they are offcourse HIGHLY appreciated ;-).

Best regards,

Frank

Nicr post Frank, and good question from Cronester.

4 CPU + 8GB dedicated for 35€? Sounds great! Where can I get that one? :-)

so this totals to about $ 110 a month? how many games can you run on a server simultaneously?

Well, it depends offcourse on the power of the cpu and the amount of memory the server has and how crowded the servers are. We at BTPro keep a maximum of 10 dedicated openttd instances on 1 server, mainly because we also use an extra management program for each instance next to openttd called xshunter, this program takes care of the management of the game (goal and mysql connection mainly).

The_dude: I think this was a promotion server somewhere with a provider in the Uk, HSquishy can tell you more about this I think, he bought it for us :-)

Anything more, just ask!

4 servers, max 10 instances on a server... one is used for a database only and btpro has 18 games running? is there something I don't see?

to me it seems some games are more popular than others, can I ask why btpro runs less popular games? as example the 4k temperate seems very popular, in my opinion because it takes only about an hour. but at the end of year 1 or 2 there's no use to join them any more since you won't make it. a second game/instance seems logical to me.

I'm not being a critic, just trying to understand.

***Deleted this question explained by pm. Happy people now.
