Im using SDL_net, but there are more choices. Enet seems to be good, but 
support is awful and I couldnt found a way to link it in Visual C. I 
think Raknet is the best option available.
Many games uses UDP, in my experience, I havent found any problem with 
udp, and many services uses it.

Probably you will require an static ip. There are dedicated servers, but 
I dont know if the price is afordable for you.
