Vazz would have been good if Orange had not gone and pissed him off... He could have hosted our client and everything. PLus he is fairly intelligent and has been a friend of mine on yanille. I trust him, but I don't know if Orange does...

Don't take this too serious, but both my palm and face are getting sore. Hosting the client isn't the problem, the problem is hosting the server.
 
Let me explain this; there are two parts to a networking application: the client, and the server.
A client is a program that is run on a computer or device (in this case the applet used to play an rsps)that you use to connect to a server.
 
A server is software running on a remote computer that allows for clients to send messages called packets to the computer, gives(or serves) them data, and sends them back.
 
With every rsps source, there are generally two folders: a folder containing the client code, and a folder containing the server code. The server code contains the game data, such as characters, scripts, text, and events; the client code is what makes up the thing that you run on your computer.
 
In order to use it, a computer has to "host" the server. This means that you run the server program on the computer (or VPS)that all the people with clients connect to. The client is either downloaded by the players, or used in the form of a webclient in a browser.
