ok so im making a runescape private server. ive got a friend who made 5 grand. yes 5 grand! off his server in a month. although the money is attracting i really want to establish a good community. as im sure many of you dont know runescape private servers are very popular. but i have alot of questions and hopefully someone here can answer alot of them. i dont want you to hold my hand but i will need alot of help... ok so here are my questions
i want to use a dedicated server that i would pay to have it hosted on. how exactly would that work? would i have to install java, the source, and stuff onto the computer or what? and how much bandwith a month would i need?
all of these questions i hope you can answer. and yes im aware a server would cost around 99$ a month.
just i need someone to explain how exactly a server is used and all a good one to choose considering what im doing.
also i wanna use a vbullitin (yes i know they are not cheap) and if you look at hydrascape.com they gut there ties in the forum banning system to in-game as well as how many players are on at a time. can you tell me how to do that as well?
