We need a more stable server.

I currently only pay a low price for a ddos protected solution. For me to be honest sometimes there can be some lag on the network but that only occurs maybe 10 mins a day. I'd we are looking for something from a different provider with the same specs and ddos protection we need 200$ a month or more, which would mean I'd have to charge all of you 5$ a month (which will of course not happen...). I've never been doing this project to earn anything from it. It's nice to get some extra money to fund the servers, but the price is going up quickly when you look elsewhere. It took me a long time to find a "cheaper" solution that still has pretty good quality.
Also note that these dcs are not always related to the server. Only if there is a mass DC it is the server, if only you DC, then it is your own connection!

If people really prefer it I can look for non ddos protected servers. There are pretty good ones out there that I know of.
Unfortunately the risk you take with that is if 1 person decides to launch another ddos attack you will be down for several days or weeks. With the current server there is unmetered bandwith, if a ddos happened on a metered server and you have to pay for additional bandwidth, I could face thousands of dollars if the attack is too heavy. So I'd most likely need to nullroute it invade there is a ddos on such a system. Meaning over a month of downtime. To be honest I personally never have the least bit of lag myself.
I guess my best bet is to contact my current host and ask them if there is any way to get a better quality network (which will probably cost additional money).
