if you'll have it home hosted by someone, that would be hard. your server's performance (lag, stability, ping, etc.) would depend on the person's CPU and destination. so i suggest that you get a paid hosting instead of asking someone to host it for you.
edit: it is not advised to have a server home hosted if you plan on running it on a long-term basis.

alright, but keep this in mind, most home hosted server DO NOT last long and are only used for test servers. if the person has a low-spec computer and a shitty internet then your server would go to waste. in short terms, you won't be able to have fun.
anyway, good luck with it.

Why not get $5. Put it into a Volt-Host account, and get a server small slot server to start with. Starting up servers don't need 50-500 slots(espicially if you don't have a community being built up already). You can increase slots over time, but don't go over kill on slots. Most people don't think so, but a server with 20/500 slots will push players away.

Not to mention that a home hosted server would be "unstable" as if someone is watching ******* on the same network as them or something it can make your server lag. If you are dead set on not buying hosting then I suggest you do it yourself from your own pc as you will have complete control over your server, and you will not have to rely on some stranger not to just shut your server down and take the script.

Is $5 seriously hard to get? Why not save up $15, get a pre-paid like visa card and order a server from a hosting service?
