hey,
First:
well FTP connection from your home to a Hosted Server is never faster then a Direct Download on the Server else i wouldnt use that Server as the Download Rate would be Lower or same as your Home UPLOAD.
Secound:
You need a Full Remote control of the Server else i have no idea how you want to start the .exe file to Start the Server.
About me:
I use a Hosted (Strato) German Root Server, connect via Remote to it and do everything that has to do with the Server right there. It's less confusing for me, you prolly gonna lose the Track at start what you installed on the Testserver and what is on the Live one plus some Scripts are a little harder to Install not just Drag and Drop so you have to change some Code on the Server and belive me you dont want to do it Twice if it works.
may i ask you why dont want it on your Home Computer?? Getting Players is almost impossible if your aren't able to Setup the first steps alone to Start a Shard i see there no future for the Open World, maybe you find some Real Friends who play with you but there are alot of Cracks out there with really Crazy Shards which takes alot really ALOT of time to setup like that, and even they have problems to find Players for thair Shards.
Think about it what you gonna do with the Root beside UO if theres nothing or almost nothing then it's gonna be a waste of money, here in Germany Root Servers aren't that cheep!
