FOSS gamedev and creative worlds

I'm creating a public server and want to know how to keep it open for everyone.

Just keep the computer the server is hosted on 24/7. It's as simple as that, but keep in mind the electricity costs and the possible overheats. 8)

Is this the only way? my computer overheats easily.

Yes that's the only way to run a server all the time. Is to have your computer on all the time to. Look into oil submersion maybe or just some more fans :D

K thanks for the information

You could also rent a VPS (A virtual computer on a real one that hosts 20-40 similar ones) they can be pretty cheap and they run 24/7.

So the server would run with or without your computer on..
I've heard these guys are pretty decent, although they aren't there to help you ('unmanaged'). http://buyvm.net/
