Author Topic: External Host for BeBot (Read 2847 times)

I'm sure this must have been discussed earlier but I could not easily find any post on the subject. I've been hosting AoC BeBot on my own computer for a while and that works perfect but I am seriously considering to look into how to run it on an external server?

Do anyone do this already, and do anyone have ideas or suggestions on a host that would support this for a decent price? Security needs to be in place I presume since it has to include account information, but I presume it is possible?

All you need to run bebot on is a shell account with php 5.2 and mysql.

The important part is shell account, you cannot run bebot on a webserver. There are security checks inside to prevent this, as it would be a really bad thing security-wise.

You can use virtual server or similar offers, the bot requirements cpu and memory wise are pretty low.
