You can host with anything running Windows or Linux.

They're really expensive. You'd better off hosting with...

Virpus has a lot of downtime, BYONDPanel has only crashed for me. And VPSCheap limits your speed.

Sadly crashes happen :)

Honestly if your up and down speed are good and stable you have a pc on 24/7 your all good if you can foot the bill.

A good idea is to look into a nas type system Buffalo linkstation pro duo runs a nix based system with 1.8ghz (I think) not sure about the RAM costs around $100+ throw in a 2Tb an you have yourself a storage + media player + BYOND game host.

I'd go with BYONDPanel, they have amazing support. But I still prefer being able to set up my own machine. =P

Honestly go for the solution I suggested if you want something non expensive and low on power.

Up to you though running a server tower requires you to plus in the TWO PSU's and sucks up tons of electricity won't want a $500+ bill would you?

Sorry to hear :(

Perhaps you should just host on your computer then :)
