If your willing to spend 130 per month, you can get your own dedicatd server with:
AMD XP2100
1 gig of ram
60 Gig IDE hard drive
900 gigs of bandwidth per month.- more then you will ever need!
Windows 2003/win2k or Linux OS
you have root access but they do not offer any support, you screw up your server you pay for a reinstall, this is called unmanaged hosting and they have awsome pings!
also no contracts you pay per month. People are running 64 player bf42 servers. one guy is running 2X24 HL and 1X16 player HL server without any problems on the same box.
