Setting your OTServer online

[zaxaer]

I got 2 questions though, if someone would please answer this:

By adding a host at No-IP.com - Managed DNS - Free Dynamic DNS - Managed Email - 100% Uptime Guaranteed.. You'll just change your IP-number to a hostname.. example: 192.168.0.1 to otland.no-ip.com.
But it'll still make contact with YOUR IP.. Means that your internet connection will be slower I guess?

So I was thinking of using a server (like hosting24) and domain (like TransIP). IF I start to import the database(forgotten server) into the server(Hosting24), it won't be online (yet), I need to run the "Forgotten server.exe".. and if I want to run "Forgotten server.exe" it'll be online at my computer.. so that means that if I turn my pc off.. the server(forgotten server) will be offline aswell..
Tibia needs to get online automatically too (when I start my server (hosting24).. but the sever(hosting24) can't read "exe" files.. How can I get the file(forgotten server) to autorun itself at startup?


I'm trying to learn this.. and it's annoying complicated, or I'm just making it myself so tough.. Hope that someone can help me out here.

No-IP only converts your normal ip into a dynamic one, is not making slower your internet connection, is like a mask to your IP.

Windows 7


1. Click the Start button, click All Programs, click the right mouse button in the Startup folder, and then click Open.

2. Open the location that contains the item for which you want to create a shortcut.

3. Click the right mouse button on the item, and then click Create Shortcut. The new shortcut appears in the same location as the original item.

4. Drag the shortcut to the Startup folder.


The next time you start Windows, the program will run automatically.

Actually it doesn't even do that, it's a DNS System, it takes your IP and changes it into X.X.X.X so when people look for eg: www.otland.no-ip.com it will forward it to ip X.X.X.X

But he's asking if it makes a slower internet connection, I'm only explaining a little bit

Appreciate it that you've explained it to me, but I actually want it in the Database to startup automatically.. not on my computer.
Isn't it possible to just import all the files in a server and make it online itself instead of using the "Forgotten Server.exe"?
