Dawgy Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 If you're asking if you can run it on your own computer on your home connection, then yes. However, many ISPs do not allow you to run a server, and if you do, you're more than likely to get into trouble. Link to comment

OpiuM. Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 yea, well my ISP is almost cool about it, they just disconnect me, then i reset my modem, and im good to go Link to comment
orappa Posted June 11, 2004 Share Posted June 11, 2004 To make more money, ISPs tend to offer more connections than they have bandwidth for. This is based on the assumption that most users won't use their connection's potential 100% of the time. I generally browse the web and only sometimes download large files or play online games. If everyone started running game servers on their connections, it would bring down the entire network for a lot of users. Link to comment

Weird , i got comcast . They opened all ports . let me run all the servers i could think of . including Apache , and a mail server . Also i have 6 computers . and last time i check . my server (one of the 6) had 5 gig of bandwitdh wasted in 2 months (up and down) They never bothered me . Altough i have heard of somepeople who got warning for using more than 1 gig bandwidth montly Link to comment

Guest Posted June 13, 2004 Share Posted June 13, 2004 i have full acces remotely to my webserver loads of space how do i run i have no problems uploading the serverfiles but how do i start the server one uploaded you'll need shell access to give it commands. if its not firewalled, you can login with ssh on port 22 (default port). if its already unzipped you can just start the server by typing the name of the binary with ./ in front of it, to tell the shell it needs to execute it.

dystopia Posted June 15, 2004 Share Posted June 15, 2004 god it's good to be back on a pc lmao, ny is fun and all, but I needs a pc anyhoot, even tho verizon told me to my face not to run a web/game server I still do lmao and they haven't said a word about it in the past. Unless it causes some sort of major disturbance to their network or legal troubles most ips won't even notice. In short, do it til the man brings it down heh. Link to comment
ijsf Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 It is possible.. Wartech once made a php-mtaserver, but it's way outdated and unsupported at the moment. Anyways, to run a 'real' server you'll need SSH (shell) access to your linux box and the rights to open ports.. so if this is your isp's webhost, no go. Link to comment
