I am wondering whether I should start a server for my gaming group, if yes then what is the cheapest way?

running it on your home computer would be the cheapest way

Actually it depends. If you want a 24/7 server, it's not really smart to run it from your PC. I don't know about you, but in Croatia kWh is 15 cents. You would probably use 1000 W which equals one kW. One day would cost you 1,2$ and one month would cost you 36$ for the power supply.

I pay 3,99$ per month for linux server. I am able to run forums and an ace of spades server on it. Again, it all depends on what you want to do with it.

If I could go back in time, I would kill the man responsible for .gif's if only so I never had to see another one of your avatars Tin

Wow, I run a mc server already as you know that has half a gig for 10 bucks a month. Would I be able to run the minecraft,aos, and my own forums from this single VPS for less then $15? If yes then please supply a link.

@dan I cant run it from my house because I am not allowed to port forward

thanks,

get Adblock, it lets you disable images and I do it to people's avatars and signatures all the time. it also removes ads, which is the main reason to get it
