The answer

What is permissible to play with is permissible to trade, and what is forbidden to play with is forbidden to trade. There is no harm in electronic games if they adhere to Islamic regulations. Placing commercial internet advertisements and earning from them is permissible as long as they do not include anything forbidden. There is no harm in renting out a server to someone who uses it for permissible matters.
