If you are trying to ask if the ram on your pc can be used on a hosting site answer is no. If u could run the server from your own pc u could use https://freedns.afraid.org/ to get a free subdomain that's linked to your public IP and people just connect via the subdomain.

Is this going to hide my ip and make it untrackable?

No.

You have two options:

- Host the website on a separate server, not in your home network.

- Host the website on your home server, but proxy all traffic, for example self-host something in a cloud server/VPS or use CloudFlare.

It will not hide your ip completly but its not untraceable either it is hard to track. Depending on what game.

Okay so i personally to the way I mentioned works fine and is the server for friends or public the players would need some special program to track, if they get the ip it only shows your approximate location and not exact

Yep, but the big problem is I live in a small town, and I do not like the fact that someone knows where I live.

Maybe use a VPN for your machine, or use a hosting website like server.pro, or just use a pc that's not in your home town

There is no way to make your public ip untraceable.. Your public IP belongs to your ISP anyways so that's most likely the information they will find. If you are afraid of people getting your ip, you should be afraid how easily people can find your phone number, it's literally the same thing but your phone number is public information, thanks to yellow pages or what have you.

 

Conclution: Stop trying to hide. You can ALWAYS be found.
