I assume the thread I was working with is gone because some dip kept mentioning that which shall not be named... Currently use Server.Pro. No matter what I do it is auto-updating pmmp to 1185, which does not have an alpha and therefor does not allow a Single plugin to work. Looking for help on either how to get 1001 to run without it automatically updating, or for recommendations on other host options. Shockbyte is a heck no, their service Stinks. A vps is possible. Someone had asked if I use pe or pc most...the only time I use my tablet is for actual building on the server, all other programming, setting up, etc, is via pc.
recommend using a VPS... if your hosting service forces you onto a development build, your hosting service is a hell-no.
I switched from server.pro beacuase they wouldn't let you change the .phar file. I'm now using CubedHost.com , and they offer a ton of stuff. Up to 6GB of ram, customizable .phars, and FTP servers. Its awesome! If you happen to switch, i can teach you how to change the .phar!
