I hope that question doesn't sound too difficult to answer. The simple reason is: a chat program I am trying to create. I currently have a shared hosting service that I pay about $5/mo for. but a dedicated server ( dedicated IP, can run exe files ) costs $100 or so and I can't afford that, so looking for other solutions.

Also, is it absolutely necessary that I be able to run exe files on the server I'm using?

Thanks a lot in advance!~

You might be able to write the server part of it in perl or php, and then the client in C++ or C#. Don't hold me to it though, I'm not 100% sure. It might depend on what your goal is.

Why don't you sign up for a free dynamic dns service like no.ip.com and run it from your own computer? FOR FREE

Unless your Internet connection is not going to be able to handle the load.

zoneedit and ddclient on my BIND server have served me wonderfully for years...
