Depends on your hoster. Might wanna change topic title.

If you have absolutely no idea what you're doing, you should probably download a test SVN to play around with first so you can get an idea of things.

Start small, go with a VPS service. $25-$50 a month as opposed to throwing away hundreds of dollars a server that you're trying to learn with.

Agree with descent. Somethings I recall is VPS, which costs $25 to $50, depending on specs. Webhosting cost about $5, more or less. Also, you may want to get some custom graphics done, for example, webdesign (some may charge about $70, whereas some may charge from $200 to $600, depending on what you require). Patcher set-up is also a must, skinning is optional, but I got a patcher skin at about $20.

All in all, if you have $300 to $500 to spend, you're safe. I'm also available if you need more help, just hit me up on MSN. [email protected]

What the last two have said. I would start small and debating on how lucky you can get, you can get alot of things done for free such as having staff members that are able to do web graphics and what not. So it really depends you can usually look around eathena or other places for decent paid services. If you ever want to know a good graphics guy that is really friendly and a great help just pm me, I can give you his email.

Before You begin a server, Download a SVN and make a test server to learn step by step what needs done to maintain a server. As for the host, I agree with the people above, Get a simple host from $25+ to start out, rather than $100+ hosting.  Maybe...FranTech or SIP, as for me, I use VPSLand's dedicated hosting which is about $68-$70 a month, but its a -dedicated- host so it costs alot more. I'm sure people are willing to help you on various questions you have trouble on.

Shi~
If you wanna pay $300~$500 a month, I'd just go out buy a quad core pc running on 12 gb of ram, and upgrade my internet package with my ISP to be better than what you'd get with a VPS host.
Then I'd just host it myself.

Fortunately for myself, I am not going to do this.

hey ddlz just add me [email protected] we can make arrangements. I could probably host your server for a very low price. my computer is rarely used. maybe i could put it up for a good cause and help you. well anyways if your still intererested add me and ill be waiting. goodluck. cheers.

i suggest you get something that actually hosted at a datacenter be it a dedi or vps, no residential comp or line.  Starting with a vps package until your server grow out of it should be a good plan with respect to cost.

$300-$500 can last for 4~ months at least, unless you are paying your staff but that's rare anyway.  If you are spending more than $100 a month there might be something wrong, for a newly started server.  Even a dedi with good specs don't usually need $100/mo.  Good luck to your new server.
