Our server
is hosted by UltimateGameserver.com
and is currently located in Chicago, Illinois, United States of America.
Ultimate Game Server opened for business
in September, 2002. Our's was the first TFC server that they
hosted. They now providing hosting services for over 30 of
today's popular
games.
They provide around the
clock Tech Support
available by support ticket or phone.You
can upload your own server goodies, or they can do that for
you. If you are computer-literate enough to understand FTP
and what is needed to run a TFC server, you can do it all
yourself. They will walk you through doing it and provide
you with phone or email based "training" as needed.
They also have a control panel that allows you full control
of your server from restarting to reinstalling to updates. Their pricing is very reasonable,
compared to other servers I investigated. The cost per month
for our 14 player server is about $12 a month.
