    I DO NOT know how NNG runs their servers, who we have a server through, or such, but I would encourage anyone that needs cheap server space to check out this:

    http://slickdeals.net/f/5887804-NEW...dth-2x-IP-address-40-year-4-Location-Choices?

    The VPS servers are specced as follows:

    2048MB (2GB) Dedicated Ram
    50 GB Diskspace
    2TB Monthly Bandwidth
    100Mbps Port
    2x IPv4 Address
    SolusVM/OpenVZ
    Instant Setup
    Free Backups
    4 Location Choices: Los Angeles, Chicago, Buffalo, or Atlanta!
    Many Linux flavors to choose from.

    $40/year with promo code "STEALOFADEAL"

    40 bucks a year is less than I pay for website hosting and with two IP addys, you can run two different things. The setup isn't quite "instant" as it says, but it works. Their terms of service are VERY lenient basically letting you do whatever you want. Also their customer service seems to be responsive as they've actually taken to the slickdeals thread itself to answer any questions.

    Again, I have no clue off NNG's server requirements, even if this doesn't fit NNG's needs, maybe it'll help one of our members. A couple people have posted in the thread I linked and said they are using it to host Minecraft servers and are very happy with it.

    NOTE: For anyone wanting to use this as a simple website server, this might not be for you. They're basically giving you a blank Linux computer and saying "go". If you know Linux, that's wonderful. If you don't, you might be in for some headaches.
