Can someone please point me in the direction of either a host that i can host the game on or a cheap server. The spects for the server or host are as of followed:

System requirements
Minimum Server: P2-600MHz, 128 MB RAM, internet connection with a static IP

Its better to have one that you know will run 24/7, you don't have to call support when it goes down, and people can enjoy it. | |

pmwww | | Re: Server Search (20th Feb 08 at 2:53am UTC) | | Just make sure you know how to take care of your server, and the things that are needed to keep it secure and running.
Servers cost more than just the computer; you need to consider UPS setups, coolant systems, some DDNS support from your ISP, possibly some bandwidth upgrades with your ISP, etc.
Also, you need to be sure your server is protected against DDOS attacks, hacks, cracks, XSS, and other security holes. | |

Guest | | Re: Server Search (21st Feb 08 at 12:01am UTC) | | i know all of that..well most of it, i know how to build one, and i have a basic knowledge of how to run one. but I don't have a clue how to set it upm as far as hardware and stuff and i know its different from a computer, but i have a teacher at the school that has setup the whole server system between all three school in my town and he owns me a favor so i'll have him help me set it up...now just wondering could i get a list of all the needed parts plz and a place where the parts are cheap, i only know of Newegg.com
Edit: if i had to buy one i was thinking something alone the lines of this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16859323004
also here is a whole list of servers that newegg.com sells: here
but to go with the least money i could go with something like this, it think it will work.. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16859105379 | |
