You would need a dedicated server to run a mmo off of.
Your normal web-hosting wouldn't work for that at all.
Dedicated servers run for, at the cheapest, $1000 a month.
The cheaper deal would be to build a comp and run it as a server out of your home.

you probly will be better off in the log run buying a e-server or something, and buying a domain for it. Cuz any other way will be to costly in the long run. E-servers go for about...$3,507.48, kidna a bit but if your makeing it free then your donations(if you got good donators) it will be good and advertizement is also very good income so, you will rack it up about 3500 in no time flat, good ones are 6000, but e-servers in genarl are very good. I have 1 big one that costed 6000 for a game i am going to host :)get payed alot to do it aswell :)

As for Z., Buying a Xserve is probably your best bet :P

I think a dedicated server is required. A cheap shared one may ruin your business.

Dedicated server is required. Read the other posts

Trust fabian with building your own comp and run at home.

I tick off my dads company by hosting my own server there without them noticing
