I'd love to host for HU asap. I wanted to a few years back but I didn't have the hardware. It's in Texas. 24/7. Connection is 35Mb down / 6Mb up 20-25ms average on speed tests. Server 2008 on i7 2600k @4ghz 8GB 1600 ram. SSD drive.
Currently I'm unable to create games 3 out of 4 attempts along with the only server I seem to get when I do connect is duff can east which is sitting around 180 ping from here
I host a 24/7 MC server as well that I've been working on for some time to give more of an mmorpg progression feel and I realized I would be able to host HU now really well. I figure a good central location like TX would be great for any US players not to mention I'd much rather play fair on closed bnet instead of attempting open with my friends considering it's easy to cheat.
