Help me think of ideas on what to add to a dedicated server topic!

OLD

Well, check out my new server computer. Sorry for the bad quality, the brightness level, and I actually haven't tried it yet. So I don't know what it has and stuff. Also, I got this for FREEEEEEE. No I'm serious, I did.
It's pretty thin and there is some armor on the front that you can take off. My dad says it used to run his work's website. He is a programmer at a company named "Velir".





More info on what I'm going to do with it: I might start hosting things for people, like maybe start a free dedicated hosting service. I am actually in my basement right now, and I'm going to be bringing it up-up-stairs (second floor of the house). It is freakin' heavy and I'm going to need my dad to take it up.

Something like one of the things stacked in each of those boxes. And my dad's work runs on about 2 of those boxes full of them. So... whatever company that is, has a great webpage, :P

It's 7:20 AM, Ima see if my dad is ready to get up and help me set up.

Ok, dad won't get up. Gunna wait another 30 min or 60.




GUYS! While I wait, help me think of how I would start my dedicated service, and what to put in a topic for dedicated hosting service, etc.

Well, you may be able to host a few websites on that. I don't know the specs, maybe 1-2 Blockland servers. Bandwidth and speed may also become an issue if your on a residential internet connection. A lot of ISP's disallow hosting websites, even though the port is open. You may be able to host a web site for a few months without raising a flag.

If you're caught your ISP will most likely send you an email. That's how Comcast does it anyway. If you don't comply they will  ban you from their service. I would check their terms just to be sure.

If your on a business connection then you can host whatever you want.

Also, does your server use linux? If so, you can look at [GUIDE] Hosting a Dedicated Server on Linux if you want to host a Blockland server.

I would suggest at least 2GB of ram if you want to host game servers, and a decent CPU.

If you want to host for other people then I highly suggest you use a data center. Besides, if your power goes out everyone could lose a lot.

Computer started up and is running fine, except the fact that my dad needs to ask my dad for a password.

Don't forget that you can remote into windows server, so you don't always need a screen.
