Hey Guys, i will make a Information Topic about rent a Server.
Little Information about Prices:
1# Q: Why Windows Server has a higher Price than a Linux?
A: Its because the Windows License, the Company have to pay for that
2# Q: Unlimited Traffic, its realy mean unlimited?
A: Not realy... Most Company have a limit. Thats mean if you go over that Limit... they reduce your I-Net connection (Most Time not at all)
Example: 1.000 GB/Month , 100 MBit/s , and u go higher than the 1.000 GB they reduce it to 10 MBit/s
or you have to pay extra for it , but it depends on your Provider
2# Q: Minimum duration of rent a server & cancelation period?
A: Thats a Important thing, if u dont read that its can be happend you have to rent it longer than u want!
And read how long u have the cancelation period. Than u know when you are able to stop to rent the Server.

"I found a Company and wanna rent a server, on what i have to care now?"
1# Allways read their FAQ and the Contract terms!
2# Ask, or search in google what other people wrote about that Company
maybe you find Information like bad Support, or scammer Company etc

Rent a Server in a other Country
My Opinion is that u always have realy think twice if u realy wanna do this!
I will do a exmaple with People from other Country that wanna host in my homecountry Germany
Reason:
# Some German Company just rent their server only for Germans / Austria or Swiss People because first they are save by Laws if the Customers dont pay so they will not get in trouble if the Customer live in a other Country. Thats why some Company just have a Support only in German language.
# Support, If u have problems with Paying or with your Server and the Support is only in german language its hard to solved that Problem.
And if they dont have a e-mail support u have to pay for a Serverice Phone Hotline that is already in Germany expensive that kind of numbers and if u call from a other Country its more than double of the price!
# If you cant understand the language , you can step in a Trap or u have to pay dues what stand in their terms and u did not knew it
#The Server is under the Law where he stands. So dont drop warez on it and think u are save against police or other things ;)
