@Khadeer143  I didn't have high hopes when I wrote to host4fun. We've had a detailed discussion with Host4fun already about this two years ago when this problem happened the first time with no positive result.  Also, when I did some superficial research of your mention about Evolution Host, I checked Evolution Host's Website and found they are focused on games servers and samp, and provide plugins as well - it's part of their advertised business to provide support for games servers.  Host4fun doesn't have the same focus in their VPS business.  So Evolution Host's game plan is completely different to host4fun's. If you want to run games servers, then Evolution Host is obviously the better sponsor of the two.  As that is where their focus lies.  Doesn't look as though it is the focus of VPS 1 sponsor. When I brought your suggestion to Host4Fun's attention two days ago and mentioned to them what your experience was, this is the response we received - which was pretty much like the one we received two years ago - like one with very little interest in games servers:

As others in this discussion already mentioned we have discussed this in numerous threads every where in the support forum in great detail.  Particularly @"Hidden Refuge" went to lots of trouble to check through things, and it's obvious that the problem (if you want to call it a problem) lies on the Data Center side, not the sponsor. If like Evolution Host the sponsor was focused on games servers, then possibly they would have already sorted out their servers on the Data Center side so that they would be OK to work with SA:MP.  And they would have provided technical support for this.

However, thanks for trying @Khadeer143.  Looks as though VPS 1 is not a good VPS to use for games.  We've finally proven it conclusively.

Since we've discussed the issue exhaustively and we did our best to see what we could do with no result, I'm going to close this discussion as completed.
