Just out of curiosity; have you ever had a CS:S server named 'Snip3r's CS:Source Server' or something like that?

no i have 1 american server and one uk they are both called -=snipers_uk =-

how do you set up a dedicated server to give other people access to it as i am new to the server end of pc's

You would need a machine and a lot of bandwidth at first (like 10MBps+)
Then you can install software in different directories etc (for multiple servers rented from 1 machine) and give FTP access to the people renting it from you so they can configure stuff etc. Mostly multi hosted machines come with a control panel to restart servers etc.

You can also rent the whole machine to 1 person, on windows you could use VNC for example. It's a remote desktop program. That way the client logs into VNC and has control over the whole server and can use it as he or she wishes.

i know quite alot about computers but i am dying to know more about servers.
how servers are run!
i would like to set up 1 dedicated server for gaming that i could rent out to the public not for the money just for the knowledge of knowing how to do it.
and this seems to be the site that has helped me the most so far!

Well if you ahve MSN or ICQ feel free to contact me I'm sure we can chat about servers a bit

LOL, NTL Fibre Optic Home Line.

Firstly, he'll be running the "server" from home... you wont get 14 people in either.
