  This is a rough draft (and a work in progress) on suggestions and things to consider when hosting a Crossfire server.
+ 
  
  
  ===== Setup =====
  
  
  Make sure you have the following available to you:
  
    * Hardware that can handle hosting a Crossfire server
+     * Any hardware that can run or handle a relatively modern desktop OS should be adequate
    * Enough and fast enough bandwidth (it's mostly upload speed that you are concerned about) 
+     * One should estimate 10kbps down (in) and 20kbps up (out) per user (kbps = kilo bits per second)
+     * More bandwidth is of course better - even if not constantly being used, just so that the bursts of data get delivered faster
    * Have an ISP allows for server hosting
    * Network security to allow remote connections (aka, tweaked firewall rules) and communication to the metaserver(s)
      * NOTE: Make sure the hostname is a Fully Qualified Domain Name (FQDN), otherwise there will be connections issues within the Crossfire client
