If its 1-10 people host it locally, don't waste your money on a host.Hello everyone,
I am creating a server for a small amount of people (1-10). I am unfamiliar with any kind of hosting and looking for a way to have the server up 24 hours.
What do I do?
Thank you all!
Whatever the thread recommends for uploading is what your connection should meet, you can check your upload speed at http://www.speedtest.net/I think I may have found the thread about the hosting service, thanks!
Im guessing that my internet connection would be the limiting factor for hosting, would you recommend investing in a faster internet connection?
Use 8080 or 8000Ok thank you!
This may be getting a little off of the original topic, but, what if my ISP blocks me from opening port 80?
http://www.yourwebsite.com:8080
or
http://www.yourwebsite.com:8000
Nope, 8080 or 8000 is open so when you give out your web address to others they can access your website.Ok, I have opened ports 7171, 7172 and 8080. Should any of these say 8080?
loginProtocolPort = 7171
gameProtocolPort = 7172
statusProtocolPort = 7171
Thanks a lot for your help by the way.
ovh for 20+???? try kimsufi. 20$ and good for up to 100for 20- use localhost...
for 20+ i recommend OVH
Yes. Since everyone ignored this question. xDhmm I may be more lost than I thought... I signed up for that no-ip thing.. is that the "website" that they will put into the ipchanger?
yeah, but kimsurf is from ovh, I refer to them in the case but hoped that the owner of topic make a little researchovh for 20+???? try kimsufi. 20$ and good for up to 100
Yes. Since everyone ignored this question. xD
it's a dynamic dns redirect, it sends traffic to that address, owned by noip.com, and they send it to the ip that they have registered (the dynamic update client (DUC) that they supply will automatically update the aforementioned ip to your ip)
It would be the first oneThanks! so which of these to I get them to put into the ip changer?
"*******.ddns.net" or...
"http://***.***.***.***" or...
scrap the http://???
ip = "What goes here?"
bindOnlyGlobalAddress = false
loginProtocolPort = 7171
gameProtocolPort = 7172
statusProtocolPort = 7171
Thank you so much
Maybe it would be easier to just have someone host it?
Are there any dangers to letting someone host?
And what kinds of things should I look for when selecting a host?
Thank you all!
DDoS is distributed denial of service, it's an attack on you using a lot of data at once, basically "clogs your pipes". As above, not a concern if you're just hosting for a few friends.I have opened ports 7171, 7172 and 8080. Im not sure if I have or how to create rules in my firewall.
Whats my ip comes up with my ###.###.###.### ip that i have from My No-IP, rather than the "*******.ddns.net" spoken about earlier.
Ok, thanks about the DDoS
As a side note, my brother who is on the same wifi can conect to my server....
