Setting up online server experience

[hazeeee]

Hello
i've would ask your're personal experience on these following questions becouse I don't have experience for setting an online server (just lan gameplay)

1:What Game Hosting Company do you preffer?
Somewhere I read this is a good company Webkeepers - Low Cost Windows & Linux VPS
2:Should I setup 2 servers or 1 with vps with linux?
3:When I wan't to setup the server is it like teamviewer or what ?
4:What web hosting do you preffer?
5:How much should cost me everything monthly for normal gameplay ?(becouse of personal budget ofc)
6:Would it be better to host it directly from home ?

These are the questions that are bothering me for now,when I get more questions I'll post it here
Thank you :)

So much server have already... you can't get much money from cabal hosting except if you doing a new contents (or someone doing for you).
I'm personally doing it for fun. All incomings i take back into the server...

well its better to rent a host, and also don't rush it just relax and take it easy... the most important is the security and game plan how do you gonna attract the players... it doesn't matter if there a lot of pserver.

i would like to add: that's the most important thing: TAKE YOUR TIME!
nobody wants fully bugged servers, questbugs, hackers, botters, cheaters and so on. all you need to do is: take your time with everything you want to do. think about the thinks you want to implement, look through the forum, find things you need to fix, test the things you've done and don't hurry.

better you set up the server and everything works fine and then add more and more additions which you developed/fixed on your testserver, then doing it all within 24 hours and then have to shutdown your server every 2 hours because of maintenance.
that is when people start getting annoyed. if there are just basic things, but they are working, everything is fine. adding new content is better then fixing it all over again and again and again... you know what i mean...
