Mind if I ask this on here and not using support? "Dan" responded to me about this but I don't understand

How do I download tShock and stuff? I was told to go into the "Mod Packs" section but I can't find this.

This is a review of APEX GameServers' hosting services. All of the information from here on is purely the opinion of Tribulation and not representative of any other entity.
____

APEX GameServers is a somewhat reliable hosting service. Their slot prices for Terraria are pretty affordable at $0.49 each, making this a good deal if you're needing to create a "budget" game server that you cannot host yourself. The TCAdmin control panel and FTP access are also quite helpful to manage configuration files for TShock, as is the Log Viewer allowing you to see server logs updated in real time, and server stability is solid. However, this is seemingly where the benefits of using APEX end.

The cons in my personal experience of using APEX are as follows:

Command line restrictions. You cannot remove parts of the command line, such as the -autocreate parameter, when specifying which world you want the server to load. You must set the -world parameter to the name of the world you wish to load - e.g. -world TestWorld.wld , in order to force the server to load the map.
Server Modifications - APEX does not offer the latest version of TShock, but rather the version prior to that (as of the date of posting).
Web Console - what's the point of this if you cannot execute commands remotely through TCAdmin, but simply watch the console? There are logs for that.
Management and FAQ - APEX is somewhat lacking in terms of a knowledge base for Terraria servers hosted through them. Questions that would be asked by a user completely new to hosting, such as how to specify the world, are not included. In addition, APEX will not inform you when scheduled maintenance is to occur, nor for how long. This also includes taking your server offline without your knowledge, as has currently happened.
Support - This is somewhat related to the prior section, but APEX's support staff are helpful - most of the time. If scheduled maintenance is in progress, expect to wait a while for a response, despite if you use the maintenance mode contact methods (Contacting DanC / Mark through Steam, or sending an email to [emailprotected]).

Despite my descriptions of the "cons" of using APEX for your hosting needs, these simply reflect my experience and may not correspond to yours. This is not a complaint about APEX GameServers, but rather a critique.
