You can buy your own server for a new price of just $2.00/slot!

Our awesome super cool member quadrilateraltrousers has gone through extensive trouble to create a nine and a half minute tutorial video easily explaining how to install bukkit on your server with a few plugins and mapping tools. He does a great job walking users through installing bukkit on their server with hostedgameservers.com and makes it really easy to understand. Even if you don’t host your server with us, this video will surely help you get bukkit installed.

Thank you again quadrilateraltrousers!! We’re still not sure how to thank you, but we will think of something.

Some clever guys have made a nice parody of Predator using only Minecraft. I enjoyed it… have a watch:

The integration of Link-Dead (the successor to Soldat) into HGS Panel is finally complete. We are now taking orders across the USA for Link-Dead game servers. Prices are easy at just $0.25 per private slot at $0.55 per public slot. Keep in mind we have $6.00 minimum order! Thats a minimum of 24 slots private or 11 slots public. You can order less but you will still be charged the same $6.00 per month!

Be one of the very first people on the internet to order a Link-Dead dedicated game server. Click here for the game page.

Thanks to Michal Marcinkowski for his awesome support and help with getting this hosting going!

Soldat was a great hit and possibly the best 2D shooter ever created. The creator of Soldat is Michal Marcinkowski and he has been hard at work on an even better game with more features, better graphics, more animations and a lot more strategy. His new creation is called Link-Dead, and it just entered open alpha testing.

You can easily jump in and start playing Link-Dead right now by clicking here. It only costs a dollar and you will be emailed a link to download and start playing.

Hosted Game Servers has had a page up saying Link-Dead game servers are coming soon. That day will be today! You can expect Link-Dead game servers to open up tonight when we integrate the new dedicated server version into our panel. It should not take long!

• @behemothdan we can set hostedd.com domains for you but other domains' dns must be done by its owner. Good question! #
• @behemothdan try contacting [email protected] with your issue #
• Purchased #crysis 2 last night. Can't wait to play it tonight! #
• @behemothdan minecraft does not propagate your DNS ICANN and upstream dns servers do. #

It’s been a long road, but in less than six short months we have broken 1,000 user accounts registered in HGSPanel!!! Thank you to each and every one of you who have helped us get this far. We look forward to the next thousand!

**Internet high five!**
