Well I would like to have a DS server for myself and friends, but I can't host on Halo because I can't deal with all that port forwarding crap, so does anyone know some fairly cheap sites that host games on Halo for 24/7?

Nuclear fallout is probably the best overall for servers, as you get a number I.P. - and a letter I.P. (name.nuclearfallout.net)

Hey man, I think I can host a dedi for free if you want. My rig isn't too powerful so expect some lag, but not too much. Xfire me at k121widomaker if you wish.

However, I can only run my PC like 4 hours a day, so it won't be 24/7.

That's the one major flaw about free dedi's. You can't keep your PC turned on forever...but...is there some way to enable the dedi console even when your computer is off?

Another would be that if you're running your computer as a dedi, you probably don't have the beastly Internet connection required to run Halo so smoothly.

Holy cow...once I get a parttime job, I want to pay/rent a server...I was thinking nuclear, but 70 dollars? HELL no. I'd just go with gameservers...xD

I've always wanted a legit, good quality, 16 player server. Too expensive though...=/

I had a $200 dedi rented running 5x16 player pubs, but I'm going to close it and rent one in the EU instead, saying as the EU needs more servers.

I'll be setting one up soon for Halo PC, just need to choose what version to run so you know what client to use. I have a full 8 meg (well, 7.5 really) and a 6656 kbps downstream with a 448 kbps upstream. I also have another connection which is 16 meg, but we won't talk about that... ;-) The server won't be on all day though unfortunately, It's a home desktop PC that I don't use and it makes alot of noise. I should have it working soon I hope. Watch this space.

I appreciate your generosity, really it is very kind, but I would like to have one that goes for 24/7, but sincerely I thank you for that, nicest thing anyones offered on this site to me in forever :)

Thanks for the help guys, does anyone know some other sites that go for fairly cheap?

Try gameservers. Decent cost, but not as great as nuclear fallout. But still decent.
