How is hosting dedicated servers affecting you guys?

[Cyborg-Rox]

This is mainly a question to the actual hosts of the dedicated servers. I have a pretty good PC, and a decent, stable internet connection, and am wondering if hosting a dedicated server constantly will have a bad effect on my PC's performance, or my internet connection, while using it normally.

I tried it once earlier today, and my internet ended up completely cutting out while playing with a friend, and talking on Teamspeak, but I don't know if hosting a server was the cause of it. What are your experiences with hosting a server on a computer while you're using it?

Ive had one up for a couple days now constantly, and running on an i7-4790k and 12gbs of ram, ive noticed no performance loss in any games.

Got an i5, 12 gb, and a GTX 970. Dunno if this will be useful, though.

I'm running dedicated servers since yesterday, several hours a day, (also while playing) and absolutely no problem so far. Funny thing on the other hand is the server is always empty, ahah. "0 players" for now, whatever i run. (Lunaro, Cephalon, or team deatchmatch)

Will keep trying this daily nonetheless, see if i can be useful and if my connexion can hold it at the same time.

Oh yeah, how do you see that in the command prompt?

Oh, right... Guess it's an empty desert for me as well.

Is it supposed to keep saying "NAT bound for server to [blablablanumbersIPstuff]" over and over again?

Oh, i don't have any idea. This is beyond my skills. Maybe it's a good time to learn how to read informations on a server window XD

For now i'm just watching the Matrix without understanding it one bit.
