Hey, how do you actually get a server to host your game, not to just hold it in its space for download. Thanks.

You pretty much don't. If you want better answers, search.

Web servers won't. Don't even think about trying to get Geocities to host it. =)
You need shell access to the server. Basically that means you can log in to a command prompt on the remote server (usually Unix-based, as opposed to DOS-based) where you can execute commands. Then BYOND needs to be installed on the server and DreamDaemon run. A warning though, most hosts don't like you hosting games on their servers without their permission. =) Search in Classified Ads for some hosting offers. Oreldwin was offering pretty cheap hosting a while back, I assume those offers are still current. | |
