A bit of server history:
From 2006 till 2012 we had a rented Windows Server 2003 server located in Frankfurt, Germany. With a connection of 13 MB/s down and 9 MB/s up - which was really enough for NOLF, Counterstrike 1.6 and Teamspeak2 and some Websites. However it was a way too expensive to pay every month 27 € (~34 $) do I decided to take it down. Between 2012 and 2016 I hosted it on a small laptop privately and between 2018 and 2023 again privately on another laptop. It became neccessary to host it on a private computer since nolf required a 32-bit system and I could rent no-where a Windows 32-bit Server again. With the community update of nolf (going from v1.004 to v1.006) it became possible to run a nolf server on 64-Bit systems again. So since october 2023 we have a server with fast reliable internet again.
