Area 51 Game Servers (Domain)

Post by nick_6893 »

I bought a new domain called: http://www.area51gameservers.com

This will have all the game servers stuff there, rather than having a directory off this site. Also, I purchased an interesting but basic template that I think looks better and cleaner than the one that's currently on. I will be working on the site for the rest of the week, so it will not be up until the weekend.

Right now it goes to a panel where customers log into the server they purchased. That's obviously being changed to a nice home page that I'm working on and the login will be on the homepage and will not have it's own page (Customers would just type the ip into the browser - didn't have a website for time being until now). Ya guys, Area 51 Game Servers is expanding!

I have about 5-8 customers as of right now. Everything is listed on the site as for what you get and stuff. You can visit http://www.area51cheatserver.com/servers for the details. The server works just like any other server. Just like Area 51 Deathrun, you can have your own server, except with your own addons that you choose to put on the server. And this can be for any valve game, like a tf2 server, gmod, etc.

Guys, this is for buying a server from Area 51. This is not for our own servers. The www.area51cheatserver.com will stay the same.

well, if you make http://www.area51cheatserver.com/servers/ as fontpage on the new domain and edit it a bit like adding login form on that page instead and a support ticket page in control panel or on frontpage it would be perfect. Also im going to recommend your server hosting on the SA-MP forums later when I get some time.

You have successfully passed the first step in hosting a successful game server! How?...by locating this website. There are many game server companies out there, including corporations and other small companies such as this. Having that said, how can you pick out which one is the best? Everyone has different opinions because its based on what's most important to them. At Area 51, we offer more then just the usual. From all the experience of running servers since 2007 with Area 51, we would now like to start to pass our experiences with servers to others. Not only you get an awesome game server, but you will also learn more about how servers work such as FTP if its your first time. There is an awesome feeling when you say, "I own this server". Taking ownership and leading a community is a way to build up communication skills as well as popularity. All in all, Area 51 has a lot to offer. It's more then just running servers here, it's an experience.
You should be a marketing director.
