You have to keep your computer running 24/7 if you want if online 24/7.

Leave your computer on?

but my parents dont let me over night and thiers lots of people with servers that run 24/7 for 5 years straight and i wanna know how???

 

[Slothie]

They don't turn off their computers...

 

[Zoltan]

well cant you like host it onto like a website to run 24/7 or onto a server tower???

 

[Chris73]

That is what game server hosts are for. They rent servers out so people don't have to try and run one on their PC 24/7.

 

[Zoltan]

can you give me a link to one???

 

[Brandon]

http://google.com/ , there are a lot listed on there.

 

[Chris73]

Well can't really give you a link to one. But if you use google and type in "Game Server Rental" i am sure you will find several links. You might have to find one that hosts that specific game.

Buy a VPS it's like a computer that runs 24/7.

it some times costs alot of money to rent a sever off a company why don't you just take it off for like 8 hours a day and call it sever maintainence

But yeah, it costs a lot to run whether its rented or you run it yourself (electricity).
