Hi everyone it's been a while since I've last shared my troubles with this community. Well I question/problem is...
I have a host file for a game and I want to open it too the public 24/7. So my question is how do I get a host server and can anyone suggest good ones.
How exactly do I setup my game on Byondpanel? I've purchase a server.

Are you looking to host this yourself for free, or pay someone to host it for you?
If your looking to host it yourself, then you can use either Dream Seeker or Dream Daemon to host it publicly using just about any port you wish. You may have to check into forwarding the port though your firewall and/or router depending on your network set up and configurations in order for players to be able to connect.
There are also a number of Hosting services that users have set up that will able you to host a game on someone elses sever. One benefit of this is that the game will usually experience less lag. The prices for theses services various from one to another. Some of the recent ones that I've seen are:
BYONDpanel.com - Currently running a free, easy-to-enter sweepstakes where two winners will receive a free 1 month hosting session. Check here for details.
JBoer (Not sure if this offer is still standing).
Keep in mind that you might be able to find a freelancer who is willing to host the game without charge :) You just have to keep an eye out around the BYOND forums. You may also have luck finding a freelance hoster by writing up an ad in Classified Ads
