can you upload a game onto a webhost server and run it from there? if so how can this be done?

thanks

That depends entirely on the type of game. If it's intended to be run from a browser, or via shockwave, or something like that, you may be able to. Otherwise not. Tracy Dryden

It is entirely possible from the technical point of view. But, I would be surprised if a web hosting company would want people putting files on a server and then executing them. You might be able to get away with stuff that runs through a browser but anything more involved than that would be very dangerous for the host. If you are new to Tek-Tips, please use descriptive titles, check the FAQs,
and beware the evil typo.
 
What i am trying to accomplish is running the Nascar 4 game on a host or create a program that redirects everyones Ip address to the server (webserver) so that they are not using my connection. I have real bad connection where i live and have no way of getting DSL or cable and T1 is what i am looking into. Does anyone know of anyother ways to improve connection? Does companys rent a spot on there T1 Lines?

thanks
kenneth
