For awhile now, I've needed a server to test ServerExtended with. However,
As it stands now, I hardly make enough money as it is, and I know I can't afford a VPS. My internet connection is too slow to run a half-decent server, not that I have anything to run it on at home.

I'm getting to a point where I really need to start testing SE with other players, I can't really do all thats needed by myself.

Does anyone have any ideas? Anyone happen to have a unused server sitting around?

I tried chunkhost and host1free, but they seem pretty full, and I have my doubts about free services.

Any help or ideas appreciated.
(Yes, I know I need a new job, and shouldn'tve bought such a big house.)

Traxie a guy that is getting a vps offered to host a server for me maybe he would add that in once he gets it.

Maybe you should refer to your mod as SE cause they way you said I am thinking you are having way too much "fun" with other players online.

Perhaps you should rephrase that? lol.

Anyway, I could install some of it on my server. The homes module, warps module, /spawn, and /suicide either clash with / are redundant with some of the other mods I have installed.

Omg.. I really should proofread more... So thats why I call it 'se' in the code, I'd forgotten about that. XD

It'd be great if you could install this. :D
The homes module can be removed, I'm pretty sure it works fine.
Warps is almost the same as homes, except that it has a GUI in the unstable version. Suicide... hmm... Player_extras needs testing.. mabye you could rename the command? /kill_s or something.

I have a random 4 year old laptop that has decent specs (enough to run a Minetest server), however my connection is slow (especially upload-wise) so I'd have to tweak the network settings down then I could host like 4-5 players at once (plus me).

It's quiet and doesn't use much power (unlike my desktop :P) so I could keep it on 24/7.

Hmm.. That also sounds good. Mabye you could put it up for a test sometime? Just to see if it's capable.

Or, you could just come on IRC when needed, ask me then I could start a server. Probably a better idea since it requires less management.

Good idea. If Jeija's url-httlp request pull-request would be added to the main game, I could even make SE auto-update, minimizing extra work.
