As a small business grows, you find yourself needing more staff, a more advanced website, CRM, firewall and e-commerce. Buying a Mac OS X server makes sense as a central location for your important files, shared applications and other resources, but servers do not manage themselves. Whether you are running a fully-configured xServe and RAID, or simply running OSX Server software on Mac Pro or iMac, your server performance is critical to the efficiency of your business.

If the server fails, you end up with lost revenue, lost productivity, and damage to your reputation. These negative scenarios are mostly avoidable by preventing outages and maximizing high standards of server performance, but this often requires some professional help. A server support contract via an Apple Authorized Service Provider can be a shrewd business investment.

One of the most iconic console games ever, Call of Duty: Black Ops, has created a PC version of the game as well. However, those who want to run it on their own PC server are out of luck. That's because the production studios Treyarch and Activision have announced that GamerServers.com will provide exclusive dedicated server hosting.

The ranked servers will be available for $14.95 per month and come with a max player limit of 18. GamerServers will offer discounts for monthly prepays, and there are also unranked servers being offered for $.99 per month per player, with a max player limit of 24. Treyarch has emphasized that the dedicated servers it hosts for the game will stay free. The company believes that this is the bets way to combat cheating and hacking mods which give some players an unfair advantage in the game.
