Hosting for Steel Beasts online sessions
All future SB missions will be hosted by me. My internet is 100/25. I will hopefully have a dedicated server soon. However we need a list of people who can host if I have an issue. We have a dedicated server license for our group. So please step up if you think you can host.
Do you have?
• A stable connection
• Hardware which is suitable
Reply here if you are willing to be added to the list.
Thank you

We would need access to the server to restart, modify missions, allow people to re-join etc.

I can configure the server with a second Admin for SB.
I can also host if necessary but I might not be online regularly for the next couple of months. I will send you a message whenever I'm sure I'll be there.
Ever consider setting up an Amazon AWS virtual server? It could be on-demand and only used when needed and would cost around $1USD per hour. Just throwing that out there as an option. It's only expensive if you leave it on 24/7, but if it hosted SB only, then that would not be necessary.

This would be the only way forward with your server if we used it.

We normally do ok with hosting. However it is a question of the host's reliability. We have seen this in our Arma server as well as the SB one.
We will need to get a final list with an order of priority.
Let me know what you guys think.

I will be last on the list for SB hosting
I prefer not to be first in line. I stated my reasons at the meeting.
We do need cooperation and participation from our group with this otherwise it might have a negative impact on our sessions.
Regards
I'm confused, didn't mean anything negative from my posts just stated I wanted to be put last on the lists. If it came off negative then I apologize.

You have nothing to apologise for. We just need others to participate. The comment was in no way directed at you :)
Ok
I will take first on the list, and if I know I will not make it, I will try to give 24hr notice to Asid, and at least day of the event. I usually let you all know when I have planned events, with more notice then that.

Anyone else want to step up? ::)
The list will be published in a few days.
Current list and order of priority
1. Cougar
2. Lusik
3. Assassin
4. Asid
guys i would host in a heart beat but my connection still drops as i don't have hard wire system wifi sucks as its SKY
We need to organise a simple system so that if someone on the list cannot host then the others know.
The others should be notified as soon as possible.
Will how I have been handling it is to first post on the mission that I will not be there, and then I message the three other people on the list that I won't be there.

I think this should work fine Cougar.
I'm away for the most part of the weekend so in case Cougar cannot host on Saturday someone else should take over.
