Dreamhost Private Server
I hate posts that start out with "OK this is a total newb post, but...", but this is one of those.
I know my way around minilogin server setup, and I know a little bit about toying with MySQL to modify the db and so forth. I have a Dreamhost account for other projects, and I was wondering if I signed up for their private hosting package w/ MySQl, if I could install my server to that box and run it from there. Does that make sense? Essentially I want to convert my minilogin to public and host it on my webhost's box. |
Webhosting is not the same as dedicated hosting for gaming servers. You would need telnet access to the server for one thing :P
|
Yeah, I know that, and it's available. Command-line linux is, anyway. What else should I look for?
|
Dreamhost would end up making you purchase a dedicated server, as your EQEmulator server would undoubtedly take up too much resources in a virtual/shared environment.
|
I see...I see. I'll look up their dedicated server package. What are other people using to host their servers? Or is everyone just running a box in the closet or whatever.
|
Most just run theirs at home. If you can get a 1MB upload speed to your house, then you should be able to handle up to 120ish players at a time.
I run mine from home and wouldn't have it any other way. Though I would love to have more upload speed! |
Thanks, Trevius!
