When a player wants to host, there game acts as the server at the same time.

I'm not sure, but doesn't FPSC do this? You could have a look at the source.

It's not really a good idea these days, since you have the problem of firewalls and routers, as well as trying to manage synchronization between all players and preventing cheating. You're much better off just integrating the server into the game, so that a player can host while playing.
