[gameprogrammer] Server Software

Hi,

 

I'm about to start the development of my server software for the online mode
of my game and now it's time to choose a few things:

 

1)       About the library, something cheap or free. I red a few articles
about how UDP is usually blocked by firewalls and that should be avoided -
is it true? Does it make such a difference?

2)       How can I host this software? Do I need to contract a static IP or
something and make my own service? Is there any company that host that kind
of software?

 

Thanks,

Dirso.
