Will this tutorial work on servers like [**this**](http://order.1and1.com/xml/order/HostingBeginner;jsessionid=3B117F52060F7C9CBCF4F422862680CE.TC61a)? I read through the tutorial and the author links to his own socket server. Do we have to pay big bucks for our own socket server or can a regular cheap host’s server be converted to one?
