Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory Dedicated Server?

I have been tossing around the idea of a Wolfet server Since i last tried to find a decent one to play on. It was not easy to find one that didnt have custom mods, menu's, watermarks, and sound packs. Im sick of that and I would rather pay then have to deal with the nonsense.

My plan is to start with a 2.60b server with Jaymod much like the LAN server we use. It will have the original six maps and xpsave to 6000xp. 24 slots with 4 of those private. This way the downloads to play are minimal and easy. Later on we can decide for more maps if needs be.

I have emailed gameservers.com, ultimategameserver.com, and Hypernia.com to see what versions they support. Gameservers.com was the quickest to reply and had the most complete response. They have 2.60b which is what we need.

Im not going to pay for this alone. I would like to ask for donations to help meet the approx $30 a month fee. I can setup a paypal account for the donations.

I would like to hear your opinions on this matter. Should we do this and see how it goes?

EDIT

I sent out emails to the 3 game server hosts for an IP to a chicago datacenter 2.60b server for latency testing. Still Gameservers.com was the fastest to reply to my email. I was getting 50ms avg for about 5min in the below server. Its running some custom sniperwar map but the admin feels our pain. He hates admin abuse as much as we do and does not have anything other than jaymod and one custom map on the server.

EDIT2

Hypernia.com was 2nd to reply and they setup a demo server running et vanilla 2.60b for me to try out. Im getting 35-37ms. Im not sure where the gameservers.com extra latency is coming from but Hypernia.com is the new lowest. They offer free vent servers and basic web hosting with game server purchases.

I would be willing to go in on it. Also gameservers has clan-pay setup on all their servers. they give you a link where anyone can go and donate money for the cost of the server.

The main 6 maps with no extra junk other than Jmod sounds fun, and a lot of people might like that idea the same as we do( NO extra bullshit custom junk to DL).
