If its ok for to me ask, I've always wondered a few questions about noobstown.


1. First of all, why not have a hosting company host it, instead of hosting it yourself?
2. Can you still have DDos without a hosting company? (its probably a yes but i just feel like asking to make sure)

If any of these questions are not allowed sorry,

I'm slightly confused by your question, we already use a "hosting company" to host our servers and sites. Our server and site is already "hosted" by an external company, we own some of the hardware but they supply a robust network to connect the servers to the internet and to ensure that our connection is good as well as provide other services. (Hence why we accept donations to pay for this service)

We use a robust DDoS protection service provided by our datacentre, they control the way that this works to try and reduce any problems sudden high traffic may cause, it is unlikely you are going to be able to achieve this on a home network.

kk thanks, i was also slightly confused because i saw few threads by use guys saying have you have to transport the server. The threads were a couple months ago

Our original plan was to move the physical server between two different datacentres in the UK however we then decided it would be more sensible to get a new server in the new location in America. It isn't hosted in anyone's home.
