Zananok Posted June 22, 2009 Author Share Posted June 22, 2009 [Darksunight Productions' Tutorials - Getting Started with DP's Server Hosting](http://mbo.no-ip.info)Topic: http://www.touchofdeathforums.com/smf/index.php/topic,43711.msg440061.htmlFirst to answer a few questions:–----------------------------------------------------------------1Q: What is a server hosting? I never heard that before, just 'dedicated servers'.1A: Well, that's to be expected, this is the first and currently only 'Server Hosting' in the world! This does exactly what it says, it host servers. But there is a big difference on 'dedicated servers' and 'server hosting'.2Q: What's the difference between 'Dedicated Servers' and DP's 'Server Hosting'?2A: Well, other than the price (Dedicated Servers = pay | DP's Server Hosting = Free), 'dedicated servers', you just give your server to the 'admin' and he manually turns it ON/OFF or any other configuration must also be requested and might take some time before the 'admin' does something about it. Not DP's 'Server Hosting', you can upload your updates at any time, turn ON/OFF the server at will plus you get much more features that you are asking for.3Q: What's the semblance 'Dedicated Servers' and DP's 'Server Hosting' have?3A: The only thing that both of them have in similar are:------ They host servers------ They host 24/74Q: What type of 'Servers' does it support?4A: Any 'server' that runs from a single '.exe', doesn't matter how much configuration it has. Some examples of a server that we support: 'Eclipse' (All versions currently distributed [[color=red]Not tested with SE1.0]), 'Counter Strike: Source Dedicated Server', 'Ventrilo', etc…5Q: Is this free?5A: Yes, as mentioned on '2A'. All Darksunlight Productions' features are free.6Q: I registered, why ain't I getting any mail? It said 'Message Delivery Failed'.6Q: For some unknown reason, that code fails sometimes, to request another 'Activation Mail', click on 'Forgot password?' over the login menu, and on the page you were redirected, fill up the 2nd form, there are just 2 text box fields there, 'Username' and 'Email'.7Q: Can I pay for extra 'features'?7A: I do all for free, if you want an extra feature or just want to upgrade something or have an idea, just PM me or post on the forums.8Q: Can I donate? You made such a good job!8A: Appreciated, but no thanks.9Q: I changed it to turn it ON/OFF, why does still have OFFLINE/ONLINE status?9A: Like I explained on other topics, this current test alpha, every time the minutes in the server has 0/5/10/15/20/25/30/35/40/45/50/55, it update your 'server commands', on the 'server settings' page you will see as 'current command'. Later I will make it 'automatic as in instantaneously.–----------------------------------------------------------------Now starting with the tutorial:1\. Step - Registration and ActivationGo to Darksunlight Productions' Home Page and register by filling up the form with the necessary information and accepting the 'Terms of Service' [Terms of Use] (http://mbo.no-ip.info/). After you have registered, go to your mail and check both junk mail and normal mail for the 'activation mail', and click the link.2\. Step - Updating your AccountClick on: 'Check for Account Updates', and update your account with " 'Server Hosting Registration' Update (01/06/09) ". I also recommend you to update all updates if there is any other available.3\. Step - Sorting your files correctly before uploading1\. Place a copy of your servers folder on your desktop.2\. Remove The servers' 'executable file' (.exe) and place it directly on the 'Desktop'.3\. Create an 'achieve' file (.zip) on your desktop [[color=red]not '.rar'].4\. Place the files of the server on the 'achieve' file. The files **IN** the folder, **not the whole folder**. Or when you extract, it will extract with the folder at the top, and we don't want that, we want the files that are **in** the folder.4\. Step - Uploading your Server1\. Go to the 'Server Settings', to do that click:>Server Hosting->Server Configuration–>Server Settings2\. After, click Adjust the 'Name of the Server' to whatever you like, you may leave as it is too. (You can change later)3\. Browser your executable file (.exe) that is located on your desktop. Than click to update the 'Server Settings'.5\. Step - Uploading your Server's Configuration1\. Go to the " Server's File Manager ", to do that click:>Server Hosting->Server Configuration–>Server's File Manager2\. Now click on the 'browse' on the 'Multi-Uploader' and select your 'achieve (.zip)3\. Than after its uploaded, click on the icon beside the 'trash can' to extract the 'achieve (.zip)4. (Optional) Delete the 'achieve' by clicking on the 'trash can'.6\. Step - Done - Awaits for ApprovalYou are not necessary to do anything anymore, but is recommended to PM me, or post on the forum for a request for approval. If you Don't request for an approval, it might take a bit longer to get. Approval can take up to 7-10 hours, but usually it is pretty fast.Comments,From: Zananok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alster Posted June 22, 2009 Share Posted June 22, 2009 Doesn't this leave the server open for attack. I can't begin to count all the things you can do with .exes.And if the servers are shared that could be devastating for business.Still, it's pretty friken epic!

Zananok Posted June 23, 2009 Author Share Posted June 23, 2009 I just went to verify it, you placed it wrong on the 'achieve'. Check Step 3 part 4\. But I will fix it for you. But there was one with a big red 'X' saying it was wrong and one with the 'OK'.–-Edit:Verified. You may use it at will, have fun :), remember that it updates every 5 mins on my server. Every time the minutes in the server has 0/5/10/15/20/25/30/35/40/45/50/55, it update your 'server commands', on the 'server settings' page you will see as 'current command'. Good luck :)Comments,From: ZananokComments,From: Zananok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
