Virtual TableTop on a Hosted Site??

[RiTz21]

I have a large community of D&D players and I am hosting many Play-by-Posts games on my forum. I would like to offer my community access to a Virtual TableTop application, which I can run on my hosted server.

Does it Exists!?!?

As far as I can tell, most VT software are for Windows: But I want to run it 24/7 on my host (the same place where my Forum resides) which has fast transfer speeds and huge bandwidth (I pay for it, so they give much).

Is there such an application, with Chat support, dice rolling, Map support, where Players could simply use a client to connect to the server, which would be on my Host? Applications like [phpbb3] Forum works great when hosted... so why not a VT application?

Firstly all the services that you mention are web specific which could be run from either Linux (probably apache) or Windows with its IIS. Secondly, although you can run PHP, CGI etc its not the same as running an app as you would also need to get ports and sockets sorted out. So I don't think that a remote commercial ISP is going to let you do this although in theory it could be done. If your virtual tabletop just used web interfaces then it could be done more easily.
