How do you keep a server up 24/7 like, Connect To An Online Game? So even when nobody's in it, the same server is always up.

I'm not sure how to do this, anyone know? :X

You, um, keep the hosting program running 24/7 and put its address in the "Login URL" field in the hub entry. =) I'm almost sure that wasn't the answer you were looking for, but I'm not sure what answer you WERE looking for, so I'll just shut up now.

It was, but what type of file do I put in the URL? an exe? or what?

NEVER say NEVER. Stuff happens, but either Zilal has a remote host that can be accessed via a shell to be managed or has a computer that stays on 24/7.

I have a computer within kicking distance that is on 24/7 and I use as a server, my main computer is also on nearly 24/7.
