on normal webspace-servers not

and even if, webspace-servers ain't designed for running dedicated game-servers, so it will most likely not run fluently and got bad - not static - ping

Judging from the caption you chose I assume you mean webspace (with PHP). Simple answer is; no, not possible.

Like moRtem said, if you have access to the server itself, you could try to set it up to run any software you like, if the server has enough hardware power.

With Java for example or other way.


Not that i know, but then again: the server will lag a lot.

If you're looking for a game-server, then there are companies specialised on hosting game-servers.

Software needs to run on hardware, thus there is always some sort of computer running, which hosts your webspace/gameserver/whatever.

What do you mean by Java? It can run on both sides; client or/and server. If you manage to write a dedicated Smokin' Guns server in java and run it on your server, you could aswell just use the default executable.

Like I said before, it dependes on the hardware of the server as well as the internet connection. I may easily set up a server at home, but pings won't be good due to DSL and many hops instead of 1GBit uplink to backbone ;)

You could, like moRtem suggested, rent a gameserver. Or if you are able to, manage a dedicated server, which can basically run any software you like.
Just do a search for Quake 3 gameservers and contact the company, whether they will also set up Smokin' Guns.
