dwwojcik Posted February 27, 2014 Posted February 27, 2014 There is no such thing as free hosting. Quote
disconsented Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 The only free hosting is no hosting Quote
dwwojcik Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 (edited) Free hosting? Do it yourself. No, that takes up a minute amount of electricity and a sliver of bandwidth, so technically not free. ;) Edited February 28, 2014 by dwwojcik Quote
Talonos Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Not to mention the cost of the computer you run it on. That being said, you can often get a decent surplus at good prices by going to the "surplus sales" offered from time to time by educational facilities like universities. I got a small server for $120 that hosts five players reliably and has been going for two years now. It's way cheaper than paying $20 a month. Quote
dwwojcik Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 I am lucky enough to have a spare computer to run my private servers on. Its a 32 bit XP laptop that's probably 7 years old at this point, but it does the job! Quote
Talonos Posted February 28, 2014 Posted February 28, 2014 Yeah, you don't need much, especially if you're willing to wipe and install a hyper-small footprint OS like MineOS (or to a lesser extent windows before it got bloated. ) Quote
TechnicMania Posted March 5, 2014 Posted March 5, 2014 I hijacked my old windows 98 Pentium 2 with an install of Linux. Then I throw on a tekkit server. 256Mb of RAM, 970Mhz core and it can hold about 5-7 players reliably. Quote
