Pc's can't handle the amount of players we are accustomed to, and the person hosting those Pc's would have to have extraordinary internet to handle the different pings. We're talking something like 100+ dollars a month for fast internet speeds that could handle the high amount of players we deal with.

On top of all the constructive feedback you've already been given so far I'll add:

There are a couple of other things that are taken into consideration regards to server hosting. (Please don't take this as rude or an accusation against your integrity...) With a proper server host If something were to happen to our servers, and MC's private information and the admins logins there are means for recourse. With a "volunteer freebie" there is no recourse. If you chose to go rogue and use our admin logins and run a muck there is nothing we can do. If an official paid host did something like that then I would just (with MC's blessing only) start a smear campaign against the provider and watch the show.

Also -- I'm gonna quiz you a bit -- what is the first layer of security for servers?

And there is the small detail about fault protection. Do you have battery backups? Generators?

My hubby is a sys admin for Intel and has done stints at Microsoft as well. We easily could get a hold of a server, but we have no way of providing that first layer of security that is recommended for running a server environment.

Since it seems you're offering this service to other groups if there are anything you want advice about in regards to providing these types of services please feel free to ask. WcoCaboose is my hubby and we'd love to answer them.

If there was only some way to send a private message, or a PM, to someone, and avoid necroing a thread not related to your question? Hmmmmmm.
