Do you HAVE to pay to run a server on Renegade i.e. Paying for a host to run it on. Or can you run it on your own internet connection free of charge, with no monthly, yearly, daily or even one-time fees?
And if this is possible would I be able to host many players with download speed of 6 mbps and upload speed of 4 mbps (system specifications don't matter as I would use another computer to play on the server)?

Lol I know that quite clearly by the title of the software it implies that it's free, but my friend kept nagging me saying that it's not, and that it'll cost money somehow.
Anyway thankyou for telling me that, I shall continue in creating my server now

When you run it on your home computer and you use a router, you'll have to open the UDP port renegade uses, otherwise a large amount of people won't be able to join.
You will have to run your server on a good computer (cpu and ram wise) if you want to host for a large amount of players, as the ren fds is very cpu intensive.
Good luck.
You can find me in The KOSs2 (TK2) discord while I'm playing. Feel free to come and say hi! TK2 discord

Well I'm going to run the server on my Windows Vista computer 32-bit, 1 gb ram, 2.4 ghz single core processor.
I know it's a bit of a crappy computer but I'll probably only host about 4 - 6 people at a time on it so it should work fine. And if it doesn't work well I'll use my other computer to play the game on so this one's CPU is free.
