Zone Hosting / Advertising - Personal hosting question Anonymous - Sat Sep 20, 2003 6:26 pm Post subject: Personal hosting question
If my comp is good enough (how good would I need it?) then could I do without a host and still have a lot of people in my zone? (how many could I have?)

It really doesn't matter what kind of computer you have, the major factor is bandwidth. If you have cable, you can host about 10 players without much trouble.

Almost everything is done client side, so normal stuff doesn't take up much CPU. Billing does, however, as it is constantly looping. What I did was get billing from SSI and then just run the zone of my computer.

Uhh, billing doesn't take up much CPU. The game server is constantly looping too, but that doesn't mean it sucks up CPU.
But SSI hosting is a much better option regardless.

For me it took about 50%. Maybe I had something set wrong?

Maybe SubBill.exe sucks. Use catid or SOS's biller, they own sub bill anyway.
