A friend of mine is trying to host a copy of a fangame on his website host, Hostmonster, to suppliment with his Website's forum.


Does anyone know how to install and host a server (IE: Duel Monsters Unlimited) on a website server such as that?
A webserver 'deal' is usually designed to carter for the needs of someone hosting a web-page, which greatly differs from what you'd want for hosting a BYOND game.
So, no, unless you contact the company and they (by some weird chance) agree to expand your deal that way, you can not do this.
You might have noted the difference on monetary expanses when getting a shell server (of whatever nature, be it VPS, slice, ...) and hosting a web-page.
If there would be a possibility to go with the 'cheaper deal', I'd bet that the majority of people would ;)
