I have BadBlue and Cerebrus FTP. Check out http://2byond.gotdns.org/

Now, how do I make it so I can host games?

Once I have that done, I will start fre hosting until it works smoothly for about a day.

Open DreamDaemon, open the world and press 'Go'. Then tell people to goto byond://2byond.gotdns.org:[port number]
Ex: byond://2byond.gotdns.org:1234
Or you can just host through DreamSeeker.
[edit]
Another example, I'm hosting a game at: byond://h3ath.hopto.org:4000
through DreamDaemon.

You cant host on a computer that isnt on.. If you want 24/7 hosting you will have to leave the server PC on pretty much all the time...

Ain't gonna happen - computers need a little thing called electricity to be able to function better than a large paperweight!

Open dreamdaemon where? just on your computer? then its automatically run through th website? thats cool....you just need to leave your computer on 24/7 though...right?

No it doesn't run through your webserver. A webserver and DreamDaemon is 2 different things. Open DreamDaemon on your computer, open your world, host on any port, then tell people to connect to:
byond://[your-ip]:[your-opened-port]

(Without the brackets)
Your webserver has nothing to do with DreamDaemon. You would have to leave your computer on too.
