Strengths and trade-offs
Nodecraft — where it wins
- One of the five hosts Cfx.re authorizes for RedM on redm.net
- Resources and txAdmin recipes install from the panel, no FTP client needed
- A 24-hour trial needs no card, and the refund window runs seven days
Where it doesn't
- The $5.96 Budget server sleeps when nobody is on and wakes on demand
- A 24/7 Premium server with 2 GB is $9.98, and 3 GB is $14.98
- Support is staffed 11:30am to 8pm CST rather than around the clock
CreeperHost — where it wins
- Premium RedM starts at $4.00 a month, less than half the field
- Sixteen locations across Europe, North America, Asia and Australia
- SaveGuard restore points are automatic and show what a restore changes
Where it doesn't
- That $4.00 plan carries 1 GB; $4.67 on Eco buys four times the memory
- Nothing on the page mentions txAdmin or a RedM framework installer
- CreeperHost is not on Cfx.re's authorized RedM partner list
- Nodecraft9.3/10 · Paid plans · price varies by game
An authorized Cfx.re RedM host with a one-click resource installer, a free trial and 27 locations.
