About hosting, I use OVH, not too expensive, 10M hosting for free just buying the domain (no database though)... I'm happy with them.

Anyway, SourceForge includes free hosting with PHP and MySQL. Why don't you use it?

The server runs a freepascal binary that opens a direct TCP connection, so at least a virtual server is required to run.

Oh, then it wouldn't be so cheap.

A number of dynamic DNS services such as noip.com offer a port redirect feature for just such blocks - when setup your game can connect to the new hostname at port 80 which will in turn connect to any Host/Port that you desire.

If you've ever owned a DLink device you can get a free account with dlinkddns.com by using the serial number of your DLink device as part of the signup - not sure if they offer a port redirect but considering a dynamic DNS account with no expiration requires a subscription and considering the vast number of dlink devices out there with users that never make use of the dynamic dns service offered?

Buying a cheap Dlink router off ebay and using its serial number can be considered as a cheap one off payment for a quality DDNS service - all the better if you get a cheap router that's compatible with dd-wrt which when setup gives you a super powerful device (I use mine as a range extender)

If you can afford $10 per month, digital ocean and linode both are good choice for virtual cloud servers. I think digital ocean even has a $5 monthly server.

For this price? I'm going to check this now!

The tip about dynamic dns service offered by dlink is very interesting, I never heard about that.

For this specific problem, the website can be hosted cheaply. I believe I will host the website at some third-party and keep the server in-home.
