Is it possible for a website to host a game (Player worlds) if i have the server files?
I am using a version of Playerworlds and my router will not allow me to host the game myself. i am wondering if it is possible to upload the folder and program for the server to a website for it to host the game.

- Generally, unless you purchase a dedicated server (which are quite expensive) you will not be able to simply upload game files to a server and expect them to run. Server software needs to be told that the files you have uploaded require 'special privileges' or they will not run as they can become a security risk. If your router does not allow you to host a game: Have you tried to port-forward? Failing that because of software limitations: tried setting your computer's IP address to the Demilitarized zone (DMZ for short)? DMZ essentially exposes one computer to the internet so that port-forwarding becomes irrelevant, but it can leave your computer open to security issues; so a firewall is highly recommended if you consider doing this.
