You can host pretty well whatever you want, so long as it's not illegal. This does include game servers, chat servers, etc...

I wonder if you can take over the world with Surpass servers....

Sorry for the thread hijack, but yah, pretty much any type of server you want is what you can make it.

As Haugland said, anything you want that's legal and within Surpass' TOS and AUP (you can read these here)

So illegal adult content is a no, as is warez and such... Otherwise anything goes as long as it cannot harm the network (I'm not sure examples of what *could* harm the network, but just keep that in mind)
