High performance, consistent uptime and fast support. Minecraft hosting that just works.
What I would recommend, is making a whitelisted server (with near no ram), and have it when people try to join, it says "Join with our new IP, {InsertIPHere}."
Looks like too much work and ineffective because people just copy the domain from the server list website and then paste it into their server list so there wouldn't be any typos.
It actually is quite effective, just watch your player count after you buy. You will see quite a few players joining, since there are many people who dont find servers off of server lists. (Server lists arent the only way to find servers).
Proof this is actually effective?
I could give someone a vouch copy for one hour if they would like.
I could take a vouch copy of an hour if you wanted 
I might be pretty interested in this.
IF it does what you say, it could be very beneficial.

Cityseis is right. It could be usefull for him since he owns the domains but it can't really be of any good to someone renting them.
Yes... it can, because I have a server setup that when you join, it will tell players to join the "New Server - [InsertIP]", so they wont be using these domains anymore, as they will use the "New Servers" domains.
A couple things you should know.Well if this was efficient wouldn't your server have more players then this.
1. I just started the advertising on my own server, as a different server was using my advertising before. (I started using this about 2 days ago)
2. All the advertising I have ever done on my server is through this method.
3. Look at the stats... last weekend I had around 35 players on all day. http://minecraft-mp.com/server/62640/stats/
4. So using just this advertising for one weekend I had 35 players, pretty good right?[DOUBLEPOST=1420484097,1420482728][/DOUBLEPOST]Also, you really shouldn't judge something without ever trying it, nobody has actually tried it yet, so nobody will know how well it works. Thats why I am giving 2 Vouch Copies (Already sold).
None of you understand the minecraft community, they most likely won't leave, the minecraft community is filled with kids who have no clue what a domain barely is, they will stick wherever it sends them without a second look.
If they are looking for a server, they want to play on that server. I know that because i AM part if the minecraft community. *shrug*
With them joining, I will have a whitelisted server up (or you can have it link directly to your server), that when they join it kicks them out saying "Join Our New Server At: {IP}". This way, they think "Oh, I guess they changed their name, Ill join their new one!"
So you concede that they ARE looking for their server, and that you are trying to con them? Would you lie to a player if they asked you? I mean, it does seem like a possibility to earn some players, but how moral is it?With them joining, I will have a whitelisted server up (or you can have it link directly to your server), that when they join it kicks them out saying "Join Our New Server At: {IP}". This way, they think "Oh, I guess they changed their name, Ill join their new one!"
Do all these server owners really care if its "moral"?
True that.
This is actually really cool, ill do this. But im gonna do it when i have time to sit on my server and tell people what domain to connect with
