No i make plugins for a server hoster and they host me a server, is it that hard to understand ffs.

Actually, yes it is kind of hard to understand, ffs. Are you suggesting that your grammar is superb?

At any rate, good luck finding a host that will give you a server for free in exchange for you creating plugins for them.

yeah, unlikely. However, they may give you admin (the person renting the server).

But there are many reason's why a server becomes "cool" you gotta find what works for you I guess.

If your simply trying to host a 'pro'/scrim server its a bit harder to generate traffic and will probably simply require to be up 24/7 and have no lag in any form.
I think this is the right idea. Configure things YOU would play, and cater to people that stick around because they enjoy it. The people who end up staying will likely have very similar tastes as you do.

Just think of a map/mod that no one uses, and that is the best, like Gaben mod for example, and put it on

Peple will think its "different" and want to play

I made my own rats server with hook/csdm(free for all)/knife arena and people love it
