I dare anyone to try and host a 32+ slot server on their home PC.

I dare you.
Yes; you need very powerful hardware, and an internet connection with huge bandwidth to host a server. 1 thing i dont understand though, is that with minecraft, you need a state of the art hardware to host a large server, and you can have about 150 players max with the current hardware, but with games like wow you can host upwards of 3,000 players with the same hardware. I think minecraft servers need some major optimization by notch.

I would be able host 32 players since I have powerful hardware. However my provider refuses to give me the upload speed I paid for.
The only amount I can host is 14 players on minecraft. If I had Gigabit upload speed. I would be able to run alot of server stuff.

Result: Sorta, but you're pushing it!

You can host a maximum of:

7
Players at the same time, plus yourself

The problem is that the internet connection speed is too slow to send and recieve data the data for more than 7 people at the same time.

You're probably better off renting a server instead to have a decent experience.

Sad face there goes my hopes and dreams fir my lie =( well time to sue UPC
