Default Re: How do you host a game?

I was interested in hosting TCP/IP but my computer is not on all the time. Would it still be possible?
Of course. You only have to tell the players your actual IP during the time they should log in to do their turns.

You may set up a http server on you comp and use the DynDNS service, but running a server on a desktop comp is a security risk I would not take just for playing DOM.

Better simply announce a "hosting intervall", check you WAN(Internet) IP when connecting to the internet and email/IRC/ICQ the players.
