I'm considering ordering a dedicated server for some BYOND hosting. I've done some hosting in the past out of house, primarily web, but did hosting for a game or two for a while.

The general plan will likely be $10USD per month for "Heavy load games" (Naruto, Bleach, etc.). $5USD for other games, with "low-load" games getting discounted to lower amounts on a game-by-game basis. Other long-term basic style things will probably be available, scoreboards, basic forum/site hosting, etc.

Game hosting will require a $10 deposit that will be refunded if the service is canceled while the account is in good standing. This will allow for some leniency in regards for billing without resulting in any actual problems or concerns if things aren't paid in advance.

As for actual billing, I'm thinking of using a credit system. Think something along the lines of the old BYOND Dime system, just at a 1 Credit = 1 USD rate. Anyone will be able to purchase these credits, and they will then be able to be applied to a games hosting slot (essentially allowing players to donate towards hosting costs).

I haven't really worked out the details quite yet, but feedback, questions, suggestions, concerns and criticism is welcome. Just want to get an idea of whether or not there is a legitimate demand for it beyond people just trying to freeload before they get cut off.
