Game Server Help Please

Okay not sure wich area this should have went into as I've never ran a public game server before....and just wanted an oppinion on it.

I want to run games like quake 3, counterstrike, etc etc... as a public server for my site but if I host it with someone else on say a linux server do I need to have ssh and install it that way or can I just say set it up on my 2003 pro server or linux server here *prefferably my 2003 server* and run it off my cable account. If so say I am using a linksys 4 port router how do I set a ip address that does'nt change up since with cable internet they don't offer static ip's etc??? I mean I would be fine for a while since I've had same ip address for several months even with cable Game Server Help Please....

Basically just need oppinion wether to host it here of my own machine or with a hosting company? And if with a hosting company has anyone here ever set a game server up and know any good sites on how to do so ??
