Hey, we scored an advertsing posistion on a very, VERY large gaming website so we are considering offering game hosting for a few specific games.

I was told that the pricing scheme is different and people pay by the user. How would this work, anyone know how the pricing scheme works? Help is greatly appreciated.

I assume you pay by the maximum number of players the server allows...

Yeah, it's usually max users.

The pricing scheme is generally based on three things - number of users allowed, games included (e.g. Half Life, Quake 3 etc.) and the quality of bandwidth which makes a big difference due to pings. Obviously the more users, games and higher quality bandwidth you buy, the higher the price will be.

Can anyone suggest some competive plans for Internap bandwidth?
