Why do people pay money for servers when you can make one for free, I am starting a league and in the process of setting up a server, so I just wandereds weather it is worth paying.

The only reason why people would pay for a dedicated server is because they get more bandwith and speed

Instead of say 512kb/s upload, they get 100mb

This also allows for more racers on

I've been running my own for awhile and had no problems with lag or anything like that and ran it with 20 people on so its really upto you
on the up side of having it with a host is that its up 24/7 and you have
tech backup.
