As long as your upload speed is greater than 500Kb/s (Kilobits per secound) you should be fine, this will allow users to download at around 60KB/s max from your site. Provided your flash games are not big and are optimized for slower internet speeds you should be fine. However you will want to check your ISP's usage policy. Most do not allow you to use your internet connection for hosting you

On the Unix server ensure the GD extension is enabled. You check this by creating a new script on the server, say gdtest.php with the following code <?php phpinfo() ?> Go to Scroll down and see if there is GD2 subheading.

WAMP doesn't need to be set to Server online for localhost to work. When wamp is set to Server online it means it'll accept connections from external addresses (eg internet).

Rather than have your file paths hard coded as include "/home/account/publlic_html/somefile.php"; Substitute '/home/account/publlic_html/' with the $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] var , eg include $_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'] ."/somefile.php"; Setting up vhosts or aliases will not help you.
