July 29, 2011 - Alternate Minecraft Server Hosters

There are two server hosting websites I know of, http://servercraft.co/ and http://lethaldrive.com/

LethalDrive's owner is Jacob William Jervey (JWJ) the previous owner of BroHoster until he got kicked out by Matt. So I trust it. Also at the bottom of the page, there is a coupon code for 25% off... for life. :D You'll need to pre-order and I don't think it's going to be up until a while after. 

ServerCraft is something I also trust. It is the host of the Shaftlands, owned by the Shaft Podcast found on YouTube and iTunes. I've been on a couple times and there's some lag if there's a lot of people on, like 100 people... So it's pretty good.

July 28, 2011 - BroHoster Closes

Hello guys wokeupsleepy here, BroHoster is currently out of business according to ClubUptime and my friend, an employee of BroHoster. There is also a thread on FacePunch. One of the workers Andrew, the person on FacePunch and a former employee of BroHoster, is now working for a new game server hosting company called LethalDrive. The cause is unknown for the site was working perfectly fine until today. It seemed as though everything was wiped, on purpose, I don't know. It's as though somebody or something wiped a CD with a magnet. Don't ask me what happened or how it happened, I'm only a fried with a BroHoster employee.

This is the best I can do to explain. JWJ and another person, Matt, started BroHoster and it was quite a success. After a few months, Matt kicked JWJ from the company. The company started to decay from the inside out. Matt tried to sell it, failed and many employees left and then it just shut down. Basically, one person stripped the company to it's bare bones and took all the money when he didn't even do anything.

According to my friend, over $93k is gone. So if you are asking for a refund, my answer is that the money is gone. Not only is the money gone, so are the maps and servers.

The alternative for BroHoster right now is LethalDrive. I've received phenomenal feed back from a few of their customers.

Please excuse my language.

Fuck you Matt, fuck you.
