Hi All,

So seeing as Venice Unleased is released, I'm looking into if I should offer game hosting for it. I would like some feedback on this subject.

VU - Experience Battlefield 3 like never before! (veniceunleashed.net)

So as the topic title says, should EZRCON offer general web hosting services?

Added ability to disable the new API check for player country info


Updated GeoIP database file


Removed usage sending stats


Added EZRCON ad banner



If you are upgrading then you may need to add these two lines to your existing installation in the file procon.cfg. To enable these options just change False to True.

procon.private.options.UseGeoIpFileOnly False
procon.private.options.BlockRssFeedNews False



 

I wanted I let you know that I am starting to build out the foundation for the hosting services that I talked about here. The pricing model I was originally going for wasn't going to be suitable for how I want to build it. So instead I decided to offer each service as it's own product instead of a package deal. In the future, hopefully, I will be able to do this and offer discounts to those that choose it.

Here is how the pricing is laid out for each service as well as information about each. This is as of 7/12/2020.

Single MySQL database (up to 30 GB) is $10 USD per month.



If you go over the 30 GB usage for the database then each additional gigabyte is charged at $0.10 USD each billing cycle. If you're under 30GB you don't need to worry about this.


Databases are replicated across 3 zones (regions) for redundancy. One (1) on the east coast of the USA, One (1) in Frankfurt, and One (1) in Singapore. Depending on the demand, this would grow to more regions.


Databases will also be backed up daily and retained for 7 days.




Procon Layer will be $2 USD per month.


Each layer will only allow one (1) game server connection. The reason behind this is for performance.


Each layer will also come with all available plugins installed by default. This is to help facilitate faster deployments and get you up and running quickly.


Each layer will automatically restart if Procon crashes. 


Each layer will also automatically restart daily at midnight to make sure it stays in tip-top shape.


Custom plugins can be installed by submitting a support ticket.




Battlefield Admin Control Panel (BFACP) will be $5 USD per month


As I am still working on building version 3 of the software, I will be installing the last version I did. Once I complete version 3 it will automatically be upgraded for you.





All these services will be managed by me so you don't have to worry about the technical side of things to get up and going.

If you would like to see how much it would cost for the services, I made a calculator that you can use. It can be found here https://ezrcon.com/calculator.html

 

I have pushed out a new minor release which updates the geodata pull (flags in the playerlisting). This should be way more accurate now. As always, please let me know if any problems show up.
