this may sound stupid, but where can I get instructions on uploading onto my webspace?

You need shell access.

You probably need more than that.

To run a web server you are likely to need permission from you server provider. If you merely have space on a web host they will probably block (with a firewall) any attempts to connect on other than port 80 (the HTTP protocol).

So you really need a server who will let you, and shell access (to install and start the server).

There are places that provide that as a service fairly cheaply - look in the SMAUG FAQ - I think I list some there.

I have shell access, and I have permission from my host, but how do I load it all?

I would upload the files with ftp, and then set it up much the same as you had on your own computer. If it is a Unix server you will probably need to recompile everything, which means you need to upload the source as well.

Did you have it going on your PC? Do the same thing on the server. You would need to run your startup script, so that the MUD runs as a background process.
