If you want to have a server hosted somewhere, I don't think that you'll find a free service that matches the requirements of OA.

And windows configuration, i must save example from OAwiki to file server.cfg to C:/.../Wilgox/Application Data/Open Arena/baseoa/ ???

After you copy server.cfg in the directory you mention, you run:
oa_ded.exe +set dedicated 2 +set net_port 27960 +exec server.cfg

Oh, thanks. Just in wiki OA wroten that "you must upload OA to your server". So, as server i can use my comp?
I think yes, because the CS server working excelent on my comp ^_^

Can I use configuration for linux? Its more comfortable(more options) then windows :)

Thanks.

After you copy server.cfg in the directory you mention, you run:
oa_ded.exe +set dedicated 2 +set net_port 27960 +exec server.cfg

Also, remember to open UDP traffic for port 27960, if you're behind a router.

Those +set commands can be launched on windows from windows console (cmd.exe) or  a .bat file, or make a windows shortcut and set additional parameters in shortcut properties (in file location path).

Consult your routers manual for opening ports. It usually has nice web interface.

*sighs* http://portforward.com/routers.htm Select your router, and then just pick any game... should tell you where to go and stuff and just put in the right UDP port
