Selling Game Servers

Jonny321 · 30th September 2005

Hi,
Just out of curiosity because I was pondering over the thought of selling a few game servers some time, (no to make too much profit, mainly to provide enough income to provide me with a "free" dedi server). I am currently at UNI, so am in "full time education" still, but i was wondering if you could tell me what sort of steps i would have to take if i do go ahead and do this ever?

thanks

Personally I would advise you to sell a few to friends and never extend it beyond that unless you're willing to put a lot of time into it. If you are putting time into it you might want to make it a 'for profit' venture.

well, i mean, i have time to put in. I would obviously try and get a bit of profit, but really all i would want to do it make enough to , as i said in previous post, have my own dedicated server "free" and anything extra is a bonus ;D

If it's as simple as that, it is as simple as installing your servers and giving your friends an email contact if anything goes wrong!

Good advice

And dont forget, your game servers run better if you sing to them!
