You can keep it active continuously if you power on your system. Alternatively, you might want to use an older machine to set up as a dedicated server. I usually host my TS server on a modest server here equipped with a powerful Intel Core2Duo E8400 and a Sapphire ATI HD4850. It performs well even when running a Minecraft server. You could also use an older setup for low-cost 24/7 server operation.
For those curious about servers and Linux, you can lease a VPS from providers like OVH at affordable rates (their cheapest plan is near $3 per month CAD). If you want full control, you can set up your own server with 32 available slots without needing a license.
Nfoservers has consistently impressed me. Top support for any service.
Choose other options instead of relying on game servers. They dominate the market, but their support is terrible and the quality is poor. Eventually, they’ll ruin your experience. Yeah, you won’t even notice from their site.
I own a 10-slot rental from MultiPlay for two years now. It usually holds around 3 to 5 people at the same time. The only issue is occasional downtime lasting a few hours. The main problem is that it sometimes rejects your first connection try. It works perfectly once you retry. No clear reason behind it.
