RAP is still hosted under that same provider. The biggest selling point for me was that for some reason it didn't have the 1.2.1 crash bug. Nedver knew why, never asked, didn't care. They have excellent pings, mine is only 10-20 tops. It is 48 dollars a month though, and you can't get any money off for a private server, but they have by far the best service that I've ever come across. If you can spend the extra cash, I say go with
www.ecgnetwork.com - you won't be dissapointed.
