A newspost on the ChooseHosting website has confirmed earlier rumours that the company has ceased trading of their branded game-servers.
The team announced earlier tonight that due to increased commitments outside of their Choosehosting responsibilities, they can no longer afford the time to tend to their other duties as would fit a reputable company.
Formed in 2001, Choosehosting founded a reputation for good quality servers and, more importantly in an industry riddled with con-men and poor service, a genuine regard for the customer.

Maye I can supply some servers for UKT if someone wants to ping them here is the IP and port range of our current servers:
195.22.10.54:
Ports 27015 - 27024
Obviously the pings will be the same as all are on the same IP ;)
Please bare in mind these are hosted in Portugal! If the ping isn't that great don't flame me for offering!

Shaw: That was in the past, slow performance. We are working really hard to rectify those past problems and would really appreciate any feedback you can give us. Our network provider is doing all they can to create the best possible network infrastrcuture for these servers. Already we have created the lowest ping servers here, that is not just a worthless boast wither, we really have.
This is not pimpage of services, hence not including domain names etc, if the servers are OK let me know.
/me likes UKT and would love to support it! [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]

I got a marriage proposal earlier so am kind of high on emotions at the moment ;)
Excuse me gentleman I have to depart the conversation, on a modem, and I have to keep spitting on the cable to cool it down :D

We think we've made the right call on this one, it wouldn't be fair to existing or potential customers to degrade the customer support that they have every right to accept. Cheers, and tata :) [ Comment: Report | IP: Logged ]
