you mean on shared hosting? for a game like CS or minecraft? no you cannot

darn, how come, anyways?

Because you need to run executables to run the server daemon. You are not going to be allowed to do that with shared hosting.

oh, i get it, the server doesn't want anyone to run programs on their server, i.e. run game servers on it, so they just block all executable files. that would explain why i could never get it to work. probably because it is free, or actually, because it is free, they wont let you do anything to their server. just wondering, what's a daemon, and why does it look like its spelled correctly. and yes i know thats how you spell it.

Even if you paid for shared hosting, you still wouldn't be allowed to run executables, that's not the idea behind it.

A daemon is basically a background process http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daemon_%28c...oftware%29

It is for so called 'safety risks', and resources.
