Hey guys not sure where to post this. I'm starting a mapping group with friends where I want to be able to host a server from time to time and have people join my server to try maps I made and their maps as well. I've read about a dedicated server using Valves Dedicated Server Tool, the problem is I can't run my computer all the time.

Can you guys tell me how to setup a server that doesn't require a dedicated server for friends to join, or if I need a dedicated server... can you guys please tell recommend a site to check out that offers a good server??

I need approx 10 - 14 slots.

(On a side note, since i want to upload and play my own maps how would I do that with a server I purchased based in Washington for example?)

Thanks!

you don't need it to run all the time. i would recommend using the srcds tool for your server, as the gui version can be a bit more sketchy, or so i've heard
