Yeah, I suspect many people who run servers are running them on their own
machines when they're away, etc. Mine is a dedicated game server that's been
set up for a while for just this purpose. It's been the place that my online
friends and I get together for UT, NWN, BF1942 (what a blast!) and most
recently FL. Unlike most of the other online games I've hosted, the FL
dedicated server code is small and tight and doesn't take much in the way of
resources so it's up all the time, irrespective of what else is running and
so far no one has mentioned any lag.

Not a problem, happy to host it. I can't promise it'll be up forever, but
I'll keep it up as long as people are using it and it's automatically
backing up the characters nightly. My isp went down today for a few hours
while I was at work, but I got it back up and running shortly after getting
home. Other than that it's been up 24/7.
