Free Shard Hosting

QNX

Hi Arrrr,

A good number of non-English speakers already use the service; it's your shard so why should you speak my language? :)

I can provide hosting with PHP/MySQL support. You can either buy a domain and point it to my webserver, or I can give you a subdomain, e.g. whatever.destard.org

You'll need to wait until you are ready to launch (or 1-2 weeks before) prior to receiving the hosting as there are monitoring processes in place to remove empty/inactive servers. I recommend you complete development on your own computer.

However, if you complete the application process I can set up your hosting space before that.

Finally, please remember Linux only, unless you can supply your own copy of Windows (owned license only, must activate, etc).

This looks very good, shame I stopped my shard a while ago although I am looking to rekindle it but will have to get myself up to speed again.
Would be nice to get back into all this as my shard was a custom map for Tram/Fel and had to decorate from scratch. In fact this is why I am lurking the forums to get more up to date in for on client versions/RunUO versions etc to use custom maps.

I will keep this thread noted if I do get further with my project.

Also QNX - Jealous, I wish I had a job like yours, sadly I am stuck in a mailing house cleaning data all day. (UK also, not far from London btw)

Is this still running? I put in an application and sent an email to support, but not reply as yet. Its not that I expect instantaneous support from a free offer or my application to be seen on day one. Its simple that I have to make some decisions about the hosting future of my shard, I do not want to blow dollars on hosting and then sods law, receive a reply that it could have done via this great offer.
So to reiterate I am not trying to pressure you QNX into dealing with me super speedily, just aiming to discern if its still worth waiting on a reply. A fantastic offer and your a UO legend for extending it.

Linux suites me just fine, I shall wait a little before throwing money around then, thanks for the reply.

Hello again, I just replied to your email Satura, hopefully not too late!

As for a HGS update in general, project utilisation has declined significantly in 2014 so Windows support has been dropped to keep running costs to a minimum. However, I'll be keeping the server online for anybody who wants to run under Linux. I would also like to hear from anybody interested in building a gaming community covering other games too, so if you have lots of free time and can bring people together, drop me an email at [email protected] :)

Would this offer apply for sphere uo shard? I know someone running a server on it.

Hello,
I hope you are interested in hosting my shard.
I've been working on it for years, and it has several features you could find interesting.
Unfortunately the web page ( http://8421.info/ardala/ ) is written in Italian, so I will list the main features here.

Custom map: It is very detailed, and features many terrain types and smooth mountains thanks to an editor I personally developed.
At the moment, it has 5 islands with 4 cities and several villages and outposts. However, I plan to expand it, adding other 2 islands and a large continent.

Maximum interactivity: almost every resource is producible by the players. It is possible to grow crops, and collect fruits from trees.
Also to brew beer and wine and make cheese with the milk of the cows.
It is possible to rent rooms in Inns and buy houses in cities or in the country.
Characters need to eat and to drink as well as wear warm clothes
in northern locations, and during the night.

Economic system based on demand and offer: the price of the goods in the areas depends on the availability of themselves.
When the prices differ, it allows traders to earn buying and selling goods among the islands.

Navigation: Islands have lighthouses that are detected from the ships. Spyglasses help to detect them at longer range as well as the other ships in the vicinity.
Overweight ships slow down, so they can be reached and boarded by pirates.

Other info:
- The World Beyond the Stars (WBS)
- It ran in private networks, and has been hosted for some months in a computer in my home.
- I'm an experienced programmer, and I know RunUO quite well.
- windows
- 500mb Ram and disk space
- I don't need web hosting.

I hope you will consider my request.

Best regards,
David

Hello QNX,

I submitted my application recently and hopefully will be able to host this server again really soon. Question about the Windows copy. Which version of Windows would I need? Server or Win 7?
