Renting a OpenTTD Server
Hi all,
first of all, sorry for my bad english.
Here is my question: I'd like to rent a server with two slots for me and my father but in hell I don't find any host where i can rent a cheap server on version 1.7.1. The only one i found is dawnservers but they have serverversion 1.7.0.
Maybe you can help me to find a host where we can rent a 1.7.1 server?
Regards,
Crixus

You mean you want to host an ottd server by yourself?
There is no rental ottd server anywhere.
You have to get a server machine and install ottd, or you can join the public server.
If you want to host a server, I recommend you to try Ubuntu server.

Actually, there are companies that do specifically sell game servers/time rentals with OpenTTD installed for both public and non-public games.ir1n1o57 wrote:I'm sorry I'm a bad English speaker too.

Re: Renting a OpenTTD Server
Unfortunately I don't know of any offhand, I don't play online multiplayer. I'm sorry. I'm sure one of our other board members can step up and provide some information. Alternatively, you might also ask over on the Reddit OpenTTD group.CRIXUS wrote:So maybe you can tell me some companies?kamnet wrote: Actually, there are companies that do specifically sell game servers/time rentals with OpenTTD installed for both public and non-public games.

Re: Renting a OpenTTD Server
Even that, installing OTTD to a server machine is very easy job.kamnet wrote:Actually, there are companies that do specifically sell game servers/time rentals with OpenTTD installed for both public and non-public games.ir1n1o57 wrote:I'm sorry I'm a bad English speaker too.

Even you don't have any server you could use Android devices as server, even it's slow and choppy.

Start regular OpenTTD, click 'Multiplayer' -> 'Start server', enter some name, set 'Advertised' to 'Yes', click 'New game', and you're done.
Launch your client on another PC, or just in another window.
If you want your server to be available 24/7, and you have a bit of Linux knowledge, there are some really cheap options available, and 128 Mb RAM is totally enough for OpenTTD server with 1024x1024 map.

Re: Renting a OpenTTD Server
Android TV box is a good option to be a server, but phone servers are atrocious.pelya wrote:Please don'tir1n1o57 wrote:Even you don't have any server you could use Android devices as server, even it's slow and choppy.
