Who owns the Zero-K server?
What company hosts it?
When did the developers realize Zero-K needed its own server?
Where is the Zero-K server hosted, geographically?
Why can't the Zero-K server be privately hosted by one of the developers?
How does the server exist, as a VM or a physical machine?

ZK lobby doesn't allow you to host games. Use springlobby to host game on your local computer. Also, you can dl autohost and host game on your own server.

Uberserver is neither: it's a software with code hosted on github.

Anyone can start their own instance of uberserver.

The Uberserver instance currently hosting the entirety of spring is hosted on a Linux VM on a physically dedicated server.

(along with Apache for springrts.com)

The server hosting zero-k.info is a Windows VM on the same physical machine.

Huh? We always knew it.. I was hosting Spring server before Zero-K existed..

Roubaix, France

They can. However because we collect data like awards and various stats and because its uber easy to cheat with open source, master server only accepts those data from verified official hosts.

We have physical server hired. On it we run ESXI - one VM is for Zero-K and one for Spring (spring site, mail lobby server - uberserver)
