Game Server Providers (GSP) come and go by the dozen and very few seem to last for a long time. However that doesn't stop them from producing beautiful eye-catching websites that turns users into clients.

Getting a sponsorship from a game server provider is probably one of the best things that can happen for you and your clan, especially when the clan budget is a bit on the low side. Almost any clan out there would want to be sponsored somehow, however only a select few ever get it. So how is it that this clans get the sponsorship and some don't?

HLSW (Half-Life Server Watch) is probably one of the best tools a game server admin can have. It is a remote administration tool that connects to a game server and lets a game server admin monitor the game server without even being inside the server. Talk about sneaking in your server to catch cheaters and on occasions abusive game admins. HLSW has many other features such as live-reporting for game matches to IRC (Internet Relay Chat).
