or how much money is to buy one
Hi,
I have a good idea for you Mali (and everyone else):
Use a Linux VPS I do it too !
VPS stands for: Virtual Private Server
Here's my server, you can have a go and see how it feels and runs: "1942 Desert Playground"
IP:
93.157.1.210
game port 23000 or 14567
(i cant remember which it was.. try it
)
You can investigate the current PING (server response time in Milliseconds) here:

My BF server runs on a Linux VPS from this company called "WEB Xtra" based in Amsterdam, Holland.
Why VPS and not a conventional Dedicated Server ?
I mean, see their VPS pricing table:

I use the "Xplore VPS" which gives you:
- 1 Intel Xeon CPU core (shared)
- 1 GB RAM
- 50 GB diskspace
- 10 Mbit uncapped internet access
- 1 IPv4 public IP address
for just 4,50 Euro's per month.
or in other words..
54 Euros = $ 59,63 PER YEAR
Sure, its basic spec.. but thats what I intended.
I intended to see how low-spec (and Low-price) I could go to host my own server which still runs smoothly.
Besides, BF1942 is a 13 (!!!) year old game and the System Requirements for the game are a total Laugh by today's hardware standards ...
However, should you feel uncomfortable with a low spec VPS like mine, you could get allot more specs
(4 cores CPU non-shared, 4 GB ram, 200 GB disk) for 17,50 Euro ($ 19,32) per month, which is just under $ 232 per year.
Thats not expensive if you ask me.
So, (I think) if you want a stable (LINUX) dedicated BF1942 server, VPS is the way to go...
The initial set-up and administration might be a bit of a hassle, being in Linux CLI (command line interface) and having to set a few things and having to download the BF1942server binaries and mods and stuff..
But once you have it running you can leave it pretty much as-is, and it will keep on running for years.
I must note:
I am not a Linux guru, nor am I verry experienced with Linux.
In fact, I Googled ALLOT while setting up my VPS a few months ago. But I allways found an answer on my question and the server was completely set up by me allone in matter of a few hours !
Because I also installed BlackBagOps BF Server Manager, I can now set/tweak every setting and mapslist i would like from the Remote Manager on my PC or laptop.
Works sweet..
Ohyea, did I mention it costs me just under $ 5 per month ? ROFL !!
I made a Forum Topic in the 'DEAL$$$ ' section on the forums for their offers, click here:

Also, if you want, I could help you set up your own...
(not just Mali, I'm willing to help anyone who would like a BF1942 Dedicated Linux server)
Cheers,
