Google Garry's mod server hosting. It will cost monthly though depending on slots and performance. I use NFO

You can make a dedicated server search it up how to make one, or you can buy a server host from a website, if you are looking for a really cheap but still powerful server host i recommend krypton networks

You can make one by looking up tutorials, or if you're okay with spending money, find a website that you can buy from

you can buy a host that is better if you don't know how to open a port but on steam you will find several tutorials teaching you how to create a server! ^^

First off you have to see what you can afford. Then find affordable hosting and addons and figure out what game mode you want.

1. Make shit in SteamCMD(login anonymous; app_update 4020 validate)
2. Set up start.bat
--
@echo off
cls
echo Protecting srcds from crashes...
echo If you want to close srcds and this script, close the srcds window and type Y depending on your language followed by Enter.
title srcds.com Watchdog
:srcds
echo (%time%) srcds started.
start /wait srcds.exe -console -game garrysmod +map (your map) +maxplayers (2-128) +gamemode sandbox
echo (%time%) WARNING: srcds closed or crashed, restarting.
goto srcds

3. Load addons collection through workshop.lua
4. Personal scripts in the garrysmod/addons folder?
5. Launch it on remote host(idk how) or your pc and you're ready to go. :3

Depends what you want to do, a dedicated server costs money but remains open 24/7, a port forwarded server is free but you have to run it.

You have to find a host to run your server on. They typically cost around 20$-50$ a month based on how good it is.

You can port forward by looking at tutorials on youtube, but it's hosted on your internet. You can also by server hosting per month which is up all the time.
