But I wouldn't yet feel comfortable using that to start up a new server because it's not really enough to cover more than a couple months and I would end up paying for it just like I pay for all the other servers.

Okay, you currently have 5 renegade servers online, all of 32 players limit, with the exception of the 8 player sniper server.
Whenever i go online (at various times of day) there's rarely 20 players spread between them (so out of 128 available player slots, only 20 or so are actually in use).
Call me crazy if you wish, but in my opinion that doesn't warrant needing another server at all.
You've really only gotta look at the success of The Pits. One server (40 player limit) and 90% of the time it has 30 or more joined players. Yes, it has a commited following of people, but so do you. Plenty of people played on the n00bstories servers (and still do), only problem being that they're spread thin across 5 servers.
I can understand that you like to have a presence on the game listings to support the community, but surely it would be better for everyone if you ran only one or two servers?
At least this way we'd have packed 32 player matches on a great server, plus you wouldn't need to fork out $200 per server, for servers that you really don't need.
