I spoke with the folks over at Hyperina a few days ago, and I was almost convinced to sign up with them. They have a nice deal on 3.0 GHZ (duel core) P4 BF2142 servers, and they allow you to have FTP access and "Remote Desktop Connection" to your "Ranked" server.

They are able to do this because they block access to the Ranked server core files, thus giving the Admin control over the rest of the server and files. You could do the same here at I365, by having your end-users use Cortex for administration of their "Ranked Servers" Only, and allow general access for other game installs that are not included with Cortex.

I would actually save money in the long run with Hyperina, but I didn't get a warm fuzzy about their business practice. Also, I have been a loyal Server Matrix/I365 customer for serveral years now, and have been extremely satisfied with the support and professionalism provided by your company.

I only hope that you will take care of your long standing customers, and give us all a fair chance at renting a premium BF2142 "true" dedicated server at fair rate. I also hope you do not make us pay for another setup fee for those who only wish to convert (add) to a BF2142 server.

Thanks for listening

 What Gator said is true. What I365 can do is lock off the core Bf2142 files so that users can use FTP, and remote desktop. This would be awesome if you could do this I365, would bring sales up ALOT. I could almost guarantee it. If hypernia can do it then im sure u guys could. It wold bring endless possibilities including letting people host websites on their ranked server instead of having to buy another server. It would also let people use mods that are hard to install through cortex. Please consider this and tell us what you can do with this

only problem with that, is it's easy to login to Remote Desktop and create an account that has access to the folder, hell you could even give yourself access without doing that

Cracking windows passwords is a 5 minute job.  I do it all the time at work for clients.

We tried to find a way to do this back when we started this whole ranking thing, and for every idea we thought of we thought of a way to break it. We'll keep poking at it though.

By cracking do you mean finding the password or simply reseting it? The way Windows file encryption works is part of the encryption seed is based off your password. If you abruptly change it, you will lose access to all those encrypted files.

Yes Rabbit I was refering to resetting them. However reassigning ownership I'm wanting to say will get past windows file encryption. I can't remember, I'll try it at work tomorrow

Yes cracking passwords does take time depending on the complexity of the password

I could also upload games that Cortext does not offer.  :D

Thanks in advance.

dude if Hypernia can do it, I365 can. Thats the point im trying to make

Well see this is what im trying to point out. They are the experts. I pay $219 a month for a server (if someone says thats cheap, well heh ur really rich). And if there is a way, they can find a way.
