Hosting dedicated server

[vgashimov]

Hi..im thinking of making server where the full expense of server wiill be done by me..which means that there are no donation...hosting with home pc is out of the question...let say im using shijuru if im not mistaken as the server hoster...what do i need to give them...would they try to host it themselves and my part is only making the patch or what? Good guidance for running server on ur pc...but none about hosting it on profesional server...help anyone?

for hosting server basicaly you need :
- minumum 1 public IP
- minimum bandwidth 1-10 mbps
- minimum dual core processor and 4gb memory (in my opinion dont need use such xeon, PC spec such as AMD quad core should be enough)
- minimum OS windows XP or windows server 2003

if you can get first 2 option above already enough to hosting your own game server.
the question is how much your local ISP charge you to get public IP and minimum bandwidth 1-10 mbps

easy way is rent dedicated server they already provide server, bandwidth and public IP.
average monthly charge is $80-$100
they will provide :
- remote to server
- OS you need
- hard drive space

thats it, you just have to copy and setup your game.
