How can I host my own server?

[Rhaonoa 0]

Without paying or getting dedicated hosting. Just for playing with friends, any way to do it? I can't seem to find anything on the forums.
Thanks!

Here is a great tutorial. I used his last tutorial to setup my server.

Any luck?

You can run it from another pc,  or run it with your own pc,  depends how many people you want on it,  or you could pay for one from gamingdeluxe.co.uk, that is who we use,,

Could a laptop run a free server?

It will run a server but will lag as if the moon hit the earth.

It seems WAY too complicated but I'll take a look at Potatoskin's suggestion.
Thanks!

Sounds fun!

You can get a 40 slot Exile server at Vert Hosting for $20. It's not much money to spend to have someone else do the set up for you.

If you're only looking to host for you and your friends you can get a server as small as a four person one from Nitrado for as cheap as $5.20 a month.  They're not as user friendly for someone new to running their own server as most other companies, but there's plenty of resources on the forums here that it can be done easy enough.
