I wanted to know exactly to host a COD4 ranked server inside your own home and how much it would cost each month for it to be dedicated.

More than most people make in a year every month. Cain is very fortunate to have access to the connection that he does for us to play. -

To host a dedicated server all you have to do is set one up. What limits you is the bandwidth. A quick google shows something along this lines
768k upload: 10 players
So for a 50 person server your going to need close to a 4 MB a sec for both up and download. If you had Fios maybe. Your best bet is a short haul T1 to a local ISP. Thats in the hundreds of dollars a monthComment

+1 and a T3 connection can run you on up there in the neighborhood of $75,000 a month. I ran a T1 for quite a while with a dedicated game server and it wasn't nearly enough. One turned into two and the possibilities of starting your own ISP come into reality. I got out of it all while I could. I was just before starting my own hosting and it was not something I was ready for.Comment

and if you are going to host a server, might do research on settings and such for best performance. As hosting an another server means you are now a competitor of Cain's, I'm not sure how the boss man would be willing to share his secret formula.[this is where my funky sig would go. But I don't have one.
So all you get is this crappy text]Comment

I don't want to host a server, A member of an old clan I used to be affilated with wants to host one, and is such a newb at setting up a server, and it so happens I am too.Originally posted by BigTwinky View PostComment
