Hello people of the tom's hardware forum.
Today I have a question that might help me and be a solution for many people. There is always many people wanting to host from their home and then they usually get criticized for the idea. Would it be a good idea to buy a mini 512mb server from some hosting company and use it as a proxy and connect the proxy to your home server so no one can dos or ddos your home server and only the proxy is hit? I also have two internet connections and I could possibly have a few more in other locations. And I will have two different servers. The components are an intel Xeon Quad-Core E3-1220V2 clocked at 3.10GHz and 16 gigs of ram(And a junky gt 610 to get graphics). And I'm planning on getting a 32gb server for the faster of of the two networks. I understand there can be a little latency and if I pick a hosting company within a reasonable distance from me, will this be a good idea? (My uplink for the fastest connection is 5 megabits and my second uplink connection is a 3 megabit connection.) (I am also planning on this server to be able to hold a max of 500 players and I don't think I would make the player count any bigger)
