Multiplayer server types

There are two types of multiplayer servers: local and online. Local multiplayer servers allow players to connect to the game via a local area network (LAN) or an intranet. Multiplayer games over the Internet are known as online multiplayer games, and must be hosted on a dedicated server which is always connected to the Internet. Multiplayer servers can be run simultaneously with one copy of the game, but computers hosting multiplayer servers must generally have powerful hardware to avoid lag. Multiplayer servers can be hosted by game developers, large Internet service providers (ISPs), or dedicated server hosting services.
