Strengths and trade-offs
Shockbyte — where it wins
- Plans state players and RAM together: 12 players on 2 GB for $11.99
- txAdmin integration, automatic backups and a 16-location network
- A 72-hour self-serve refund is processed from your own account
Where it doesn't
- Resources go in through the Files tab or FTP, not an installer
- Unlimited players means the $29.99 Saint Denis plan with 6 GB
- The cheapest plan is $11.99, above most partners on this list
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
- Shockbyte9.1/10 · Paid plans · price varies by game
