Hey I wanted to get a hold of one of these "Shell Servers" people use to host their games and i was wondering if anyone can help me by directing me to such service provider.thanks ahead.
i was also wondering on how it works...i mean when i want to host a world on my machine i simply go to the dream daemon and it does the work but is it done on those server thingys??
again thanks ahead....

a friend of mine accepted to let me use his sever 'til ill get a hold of one myself, now i dont think hes more then i do cuz he didnt know what i meant by installing a software on the server so im asking you guys.
he has FreeBSD as an OS and using DirectAdmin panel manager to run it, i downloaded the byond version that i need but i find the instruction a bit over the head , can anyone help me? | |
Er, I'm not entirely sure if there is a difference between installing BYOND on Debian and FreeBSD. Though this is how I usually do it:
Step 1: Download your file wget http://www.byond.com/download/build/479/ 479.1086_byond_freebsd.zip Step 2: Unzip the file unzip 479.1086_byond_freebsd.zip Step 3: Open the BYOND Directory cd byond Step 4: Install BYOND make install Hope this helps. :) P.S. This is how it is done on Debian, I'm not too sure if it'd work the same with FreeBSD | |
You're not just limited to those companies.
Or you could host it off of a spare computer in your house.
