Is your Game Server Support Good?
As fast as your game server might be, there will come a day when a problem arises. Perhaps your server will become laggy, maybe it will get hacked, or it might not work at all. When these things happen, your line of defense will always be your game server provider's support team. Any decent provider will offer free support with your server, and some even offer 24-hour support! Good support is the key to having a good game server, and you shouldn't give any provider that doesn't offer it a second glance.
So, just what is good support? A good support person will answer all your questions fully and completely, be polite at all times, and fix your problem in a reasonable amount of time. Preferably, all issues should be solved in less than 24 hours. Most gaming server companies offer support via special online ticket systems, but some go as far as to offer instant message support, email support, and in some cases, even phone support.
To have your problem fixed as quickly as possible, it's important to open a support request as soon as the problem is first noticed. When filing a ticket, tell your provider exactly what the problem is. Give details about when the problem occurred, what you were doing at the time, what game your server runs, your server's IP, and how the problem specifically impacts you. Doing these things will not only get your problem solved faster, but will make life easier for support personnel.
Just like with any computer product, a decent game server will have good support. Though providers with better support may be more expensive, it will spend more time online and less time down, giving you more fragging action. No matter how good or bad your particular game server's support is, keep one thing in mind: you always have the power to change providers.
