Hosting Vs Server

[Alohoe]

First, I don't know alot about this. Hence, why I am asking.  Why do players host the missions we do vs a server doing it?  I hate getting into games that lag so bad and i assume its the player hosting the game. I end up leaving because mobs are porting all over the map and very hard to target and kill.  If I am wrong on this, please explain! Thank you for your time

Servers are almost always better than peer hosts for games, however, it costs a substantial amount in hardware and bandwidth to host a large mass of game servers.

Perhaps as the game grows and they make some money, they can go to servers instead of peer. Atleast I hope.

be better to keep as is..i think having a system or program to look for and migrate to the host with the greatest connection would be best.

Servers for mmos dont cost as much as people would like you to think. Hopefully its coming
