Awesome, a bit pricy...I can't find SWBF1, is there a specific place I should look? Sorry.

virtual dedicated server, you have to set it up yourself

You will need to use remote desktop--it is like you are in front of your computer (although you will need to use the dedicated server software).

The price is actually excellent for what you get.  You will have the ability to run up to 5 server instances and have 1000 GB of data transfer per month.

You should make sure you know what you are doing before getting it though--server software, remote desktop, etc.

Is remote desktop a download or something you must buy?

comes with windows.

Is there any places I can read info about remote desktop/direct connection? because I'm really confused about it.

I can give you the basic idea, but you can use google to find more directions.

Start Remote Desktop application (usually in accessories).

Computer name:  type in IP address (this would be assigned by NFO)

username:  administrator  (until you make a new user)
password:  (password assigned by NFO)

hit connect, and now your screen displays the desktop of the remote computer.

If you decide to get an NFO server and want me to set SWBF up for you, I will.  I am travelling from 5/8-5/25 though, so it would have to be before or after those dates.
