I haven't found a comprehensive summary anwhere what to ask the server guys when planning to rent a dedicated/ shared server with the intention to run an LC server. It may be useful to have this information at one place, for further reference:
For a planned (faceless) LC server on a rented machine I have to make sure I have what follows, for each of these modes:
- Server (or StandAlone) process always running (Socket server, Chat server, ...):
-
- - Server (or StandAlone) in command line mode:
_
_ - Server in CGI mode:
_
_
Goal is to have a check-list to discuss with the server guys before renting.
Have fun!
