    I cannot run my own, as my router does not support NAT loopback.

    That's definitely the better option of course, good luck and have fun with your server(s).

    Cheers

    While I've got your attention, are there any admin controls, kick, ban etc? I can't see any mention anywhere. Thanks.

    Not so far, sadly. Those functions are on the list of planned improvements but when they will be available I don't know.
    What you can do is password-protect your server, but that's about it for now.

    You can rent a normal windows server and then just copy the dedicated server app to the windows server and run it. I've rent a virtual windows server at hosteurope and it works perfectly.

    Why rent when amazon does the same virtual server for free?

    I watched that video you linked me, it was very helpful and I want to look into that more, I know Amazon are known for offering free services then taking money from your account without warning, so I want to be sure, seeing the prices after that free period are very high.

    A windows server is a lot more than a game server, I can get an Assetto Corsa server for £4 per month.

    All I can tell you is nothing was charged and I used it for 5 hours at a time once in a while.
    From what I understand is you can use it for 750 hours without getting charged.
    Someone commented on the video that you get use it for 750 hours per month for a whole year. ( but I'm not sure about that either )

    Find more info and let me know. But like I said above I was never charged anything

    I did a google search earlier, many people getting charged big money on this service. I was charged £70 last year be Amazon for something else, luckily I got it back. Amazon have a history of misleading "free" deals.

    Oh yeah there is no doubt that Amazon likes to hide charges. That's the reason why I couldn't get a straight answer on their charging system.

    Do you guys think there is a need for ad-hoc Raceroom Servers with a per per use fee?
    Would you pay for such a service?
