It really depends on what your budget is.
The main consideration is the bandwidth required 1tb/month I think is the going rate.
Need to find either colo hosting (you buy and manage the server) or dedicated server hosting plan to fit around that.
eta.. I've renamed the thread title for you to make it more descriptive - please consider your subject headings more carefully 'Help' isn't very ..well.. Helpful

No offense, but even if you had a server, it likely wouldn't be played on- there's like a 100 non used servers for PR already.

If you don't have ~30-40 people on call to seed the server, don't waste your money.

True story!
you need at least a clan to back you up or you will just be staring at an empty server 24/7. You also need a large amount of admins, so that there is always at-least a few online. If you don't have that your just putting your money into a sink hole.
You could however try to go for a 64p server if you really want to give it a go since there are some stragglers out there that can't join the popular 100p servers because they get frame rate drops like crazy. It should also be a lot cheaper
.
If you can't beat them... be original

I'm with everyone else. It would be awesome to have your own server, but it won't get populated. Don't waste your money. Donate a few bucks to Project Reality instead. You need a clan with alot of members and admins to get it populated.

NwA has a 100 player INS only server running right now, it has yet to be populated as we havent enough members or friends that want to play INS all day that will seed it. 70+ clan members and 1000's of visitors to our web site not to mention all the players that look at the ingame server browser choose not to play on it.
I'm not suggesting dont waste your time, I'm just telling you how it is.
The best way i would suggest is to join a clan or community who have the option to run a second server and work your way to admin and admin a server for them. This would give you a better chance.
