Is server hosting safe?

[Duhman115]

If I host a server, and someone joins, are they on my network using bandwidth?
I don't want to get a call form my ISP because I like to host mini empires, and I want to make sure my network doesn't crash should the server be attacked.

If the server is attacked you should just shut it off and not host anymore, it won't crash your network unless you have a really bad network or if it is a really good attack. I doubt anyone would waste their time attacking a persons network over a sandbox game. As for bandwidth, you are sending all the info to the clients so I guess it could use a significant amount over time but nothing you should be worrying about.

do you have a limited amount of bandwidth?
as long as you haven't done anything stupid opening up your computer to attacks giving out your ip will not affect you, but you may run out of bandwidth if your server is using up more than you are paying for

When you host a server, it runs on your computer.
You either have to forward ports or have uPnP enabled, which will let blockland forward ports itself.
It's completely secure unless you're doing it wrong, and unless you have some super crappy internet it should be working just fine
In case your internet is super crappy, buy RTB hosting

It is hosted from your machine. Yes, it is safe.

You should be fine, and yes the server is hosted on your machine as said above. If your still afraid of attacks and such get one of the 3 most known hosting services (RTB, Kaphost, CBMHost). I don't suggest going with small services.

If the server is being on computer solely for Blockland (SOLELY), you can enable Windows firewall (if youre running windows) and I think theres a setting to block all communications and then you can just add the ports 28000 TCP/UDP for Blockland.

Your obviously not in the loop if you don't know about CBMHost yet.
