I'm pretty sure someone must've suggested this before somewhere, but since I am still a newbie, I just want to make the suggestion:
How about we (the players who benefit from playing on this server) help with funding a dedicated host?
I know that I wouldn't mind pitching in at all, even though I've been around for only a month.

We already have a dedicated host - Fire Wraith hosts our server machine on his professional-grade network connection. Just FYI =)
Oh, I'm probably bad at explaining what I mean. Like a dedicated host service, with a more amazing connection? I don't know what the lag is caused by, but it seems to be a thing as of late.
We think it's an ISP issue, but FW is currently out of town so he can't investigate more thoroughly. He'll be back sometime this weekend I believe.
But we don't want to move our server out of personal keeping and care, so a separate non-member server hosting service is not currently something we're interested in.
Improving his connection itself however... that might be something he might be interested in discussing.
