Game severs?

[Zulu24]

Hi, im new here, is it possible and is it aloud to put a file on your x10 server which is a game server file, and have your x10 server run the file for you, non-stop? Yeah im sorry if its easy or written somewhere.

Thankyou!

 

[Starshine]

I would have to say, probably not.
But that would be something up to Corey, as he is the Admin - but from the sounds of what you are asking, I would just figure the answer to be no.

 

[Zulu24]

Ok thanks, but do you mean not aloud, or not possible?

 

[Starshine]

Ok thanks, but do you mean not aloud, or not possible?

Not allowed, but I will ask Corey to come and give his answer, just to make sure.

Can you maybe describe this game file? What game it is for? What it would be doing as in relation to why it would need to be hosted on x10? How much bandwidth and system resources it would possibly use?

 

[Zulu24]

Oh, i thought of hosting it on x10 because it was a free server it said, its a very small game to what your probably thinking, but i could think i could guess why game servers arent aloud, ok thanks, it just means i had the wrong idea for what x10 is made for, my mistake. Thankyou.

Its a free hosting for websites, not a free server.

We do have various servers for hosting.
Free - Which doesn't cost to host a website
Business - Which is for paid hosting accounts.

I will still direct this message to Corey, and see if he can assist you in anyway, though.

What game file are you trying to host?
If its a file that your hosting so people can download it from your site, you will be allowed as long as its acceptable by the TOS
Or if its a stats file eg. psychostats file you can run these as i do on mine,
Anything else i think will be either blocked by the firewall or not allowed by the admins.

Corey will get back to you soon.

 

[Zulu24]

Nah not for people to download,
It is a quite small server file which i own, you would never of heard of it before, i just thought that x10 could perhaps run files no-stop.

Is it to emulate a game server for example using antrix to emulate a WoW server. Obviously any type of game emulation is not allowed either.

 

[Zulu24]

What do you mean? Its no emulator, its just one of two files, which the one i was going to put on here is the server and the other is the actual game.

Why wont you say what game it is, google is our friend we will find out about it if we "don't know it" already.

 

[eddysweb]

lol, i don't think they would allow it for the simple reason that the servers wouldn't be setup to run it and they would consume more CPU than normal which is would cost the owners more. Its amazing how corey hasn't replyed yet tho. hehe

 

[Zulu24]

Kames, its impossible to find it, you wouldnt find "a" thing on it, considering i and some others own it i know that.

eddysweb, does it actually cost the x10 owners? i thought it would just burn up my account limit or something?

 

[Starshine]

Okay,

Enough of the bickering.

If you can't be open and assist the people trying to help to see if whatever you are wishing to host can be hosted, then we'll make this simple and say No.

does it actually cost the x10 owners? i thought it would just burn up my account limit or something?

Yep. Offering free hosting is costing x10. And if your game server file was hosted, and using up 10-15% of resources, that not only effects you, but the people you are sharing the server with.

So, to repeat my answer for hosting this game file of whatever it is - the answer is No. You are more than welcome to take this case to Bryon or Corey, but before this thread gets out of hand any more, I will just handle it now.
