Derek Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Has anyone been successful at charging by the hour? It will never work. At least not in the next 36 months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adamnp Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 yah, dimitri was selling a script to kinda do what you are talking about -- Not really an account "booking" system -- - Sell game servers running during slack hours only : automatic creation game server that are started/stopped on scheduled hours. With this you can fill your unused machines during slack hours (exemple from 5 am to 5pm) and you can even choose to stop game servers on certain day(s). Users will not be able to start their servers during the rest of the time Price : 50€- Sell game servers running during slack hours only : automatic creation game server that are started/stopped on scheduled hours.

studeggle Posted May 20, 2010 Share Posted May 20, 2010 Allways wondered how people think they can make a profit selling single hrs? Given current prices you couldn't expect to sell a hr slot for much more then perhaps a buck, and then from that buck you have transaction fees charged by most fund sources. But to each there own. I'd suggest contacting Demitri if you're serious about it as it shouldn't be that far a leap from what he allready has too what you want. One option might be to just duplicate the product several times for each hr during times you figure will be booked and then set the script up repeatedly configured to 1hr increments.

ECF Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 Some have tried this model in the past, however with game servers being so cheap these days I don't see much of a market for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dimitrifrom31 Posted May 21, 2010 Share Posted May 21, 2010 might work in some countries or on some games. the script i made is not for a single hour rent, server gets enabled/disabled on scheduled days and at scheduled hours. Thats more to fill ur machines when they are unused. And considering the time taken to create a cod4 server for exemple you can hardly rent on the fly for an hour unless you got servers already made and a salesman behind PC 24/7.

I'm interested to know who you are at MPUK? Multiplay use a PERL backend for their gameserver management, as such if you did make a script like this, it would require heavy modification from PERL into ASP.

SickPuppy Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Why would you even want to try to sell game servers by the hour Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GS-Liam Posted May 24, 2010 Share Posted May 24, 2010 Why would you even want to try to sell game servers by the hour One reason could be, if your company’s servers went down for maintenance one evening, and the clan needed a match that evening, they could purchase a temporary server from another company for a couple of hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SickPuppy Posted May 25, 2010 Share Posted May 25, 2010 We tried something like this years ago. It was a weekend rental type of deal where you paid a reduced rate and the server was only active from Friday through Sunday. It never caught on.
