    I've looked on battlelog and I've only seen one Irish BF4 server. Any ideas where you buy them?

    You can choose to rent a server from the main menu for up to 3 months. I think you have to be a premium member as well.

    Ah, I'm but a simple console peasant :). Quick Google came up with Gameservers.com, not sure if that's helpful or not.

    Any particular reason it needs to be located in Ireland? Ping times to the UK are essentially indistinguishable.

    I briefly had an Irish CS server many moons ago but I can't for the life of me remember who I rented it from, sorry. They'd probably be gone at this stage anyway.

    As far as I remember, some of us PS4 guys rented a server and it was originally hosted out of Ireland. When DICE upgraded their servers just after the whole Naval Strike debacle however, it was shifted to Amsterdam for stability I think. I may have got the details mixed up but I think I recall it correctly.
    I couldn't imagine hosting the server in England for example would make a huge difference but if you're set on Ireland them maybe try ask some of the GaelLords lads, one of them could probably help.

    I'm 99% sure there are no Irish BF4 server providers.

    The IP of the server is German: http://whois.domaintools.com/62.104.178.149

    You can set the "country" of your server in the control panel of the server, wherever you buy one.

    EA restricts BF server providers to a certain few hosters so there are limited options. There were some Irish servers for PC a while ago but they were official EA servers so perhaps they were being hosted in Galway or Dublin. It was nice to get ~10ms ping for a change :)

    Titanfall uses Microsoft's Cloud server system called Azure which has a location in Dublin so perhaps EA will use them again in the future. I got some great pings playing that game too.
