Game server hosting that allows you to change game being hosted?
I "run" a small group of friends who all play games together and it's been expressed that having a 24/7 server would be nice. Thing is we play a number of games so it would be nice if I could pay for one server host space and just change what game that server is hosting as it is required.
Does anyone know if any such service exists? I can not find any.




When you play do you do so at a LAN party or over the net? Id spend some money on a decent machine and have it at someones house.
It might only be possible if you ran all of the server tools from all of the games off your own server. Buying your own server might be a better option as you will pay once and never have to pay again, unlike the services that you mentioned. The server could even be an old PC or (if you're lucky enough to get it working) an old laptop. I know that this is a bit childish, but take the Minecraft server tool for example, it runs fine on an old laptop and could run the game at the same time if you were REALLY pushing it. I don't know what type of games you and your friends play, and if you're playing more than one game at once, but if it's only one game then the laptop or PC would easily be able to run it, unless it was something really taxing and hardcore with a lot of activity.
Hope this helps, Owen
Hey Owen! That does actually help a little bit!
I do already know I don't wanna host it off my own computer as I don't actually have an old PC (just my one) and also part of the reason for buying is to be able to have someone else do it and also get customer support when needed.
I do wonder did you mean to buy a professional server space? Or to buy a laptop and host it from there?
Check out http://nitrado.net. It may not be the cheapest for one game, but it has a huge variety of games which automatically install on demand while your other files from other games remailn on the server. It's the most well-known hoster in Germany.
