So I use a simple TTech MuOnline server and MuCore for the website.
I know that is hard to keep up running a server at home so I want to know where you guys host your servers ?
Any cheap hosting with a good security ?
Any ideas and suggestions are much appreciated !
To host a MUOnline server on 3rd party, you'll at least need a VPS, Windows VPS to be exact, don't expect it to be cheap unless you want your VPS crushing once per day lol
For me, I use BurstNET VPS, 200USD a year (with discount). If you want I can give you a referral link so you'll at least receive a discount on that.
If you have VPS running, you can build your web server directly on top of that. Windows VPS generally comes with IIS so you don't even need to download and config XAMPP.
You'll also need a domain name, you don't want people to visit your website only via your IP right? Unlike VPS there are free ones such like .tk, however most of them has various limitations, it's your choice on domains really. (I got GoDaddy Domain referral codes too.)
Also, the best security software is the owner's experience. Most VPS/Deli hosts offer management on security/backup for a huge price. So it's better to learn now how to monitor, block, backup and prevent things.

Seems you only hosts forums. I looked over and see nothing about VPS. Yeah there is a "Root Access" in the Powercloud but the specifications of the servers haven't been giving out.
You can build a forum anyways with VPS so I don't think there is any need for giving out this as useful info..
