How do you host game servers?

the to would you website get server will be game

I am planning on starting a game server rental.
The game to be hosted will possibly be Counter Strike: Source. I would appreciate a detailed explanation.
I will be renting a dedicated server. Also how would I get steam to run more than once at a time. How would I get people to rent it, by creating a website?

There are many ways to do this kind of hosting. I recommend Googling for reasonable prices. After buying/renting the server, you will need to install the Source DS (Dedicated Server) into the server. After doing so, simply set the options you want for the server, add your servr mods, and make sure sv_lan is set to 0 ( type %26quot;sv_lan 0%26quot; in the DS Console, without the quotes). As far as getting a website, I would recommend Yahoo%26#039;s hosting, 12$/month is reasonable, 25GB Transfer, 25GB File hosting, designer tools, etc... . If you want more, such as Pearl, SQL, PHP, and such, I would upgrade to Yahoo! Small Business Professional. That would get your website set. Integrate a PayPal HTML Script (added already in the Yahoo! Pagebuilder 2.2) to the website, and you can get the money from rentals. Good luck man.
