Setting Up Your First Game Server

Everyone loves playing their favorite games with their friends online. But no one likes having their game play interrupted by the game server crashing or some other player joining your game and starts shooting everyone. The best way to stop this is by run your own game server that you have full control over. The first step is to describe weather you want to host your own game server or rent one. In most cases it best to rent one especially if you have a clan that is going to play on the server a lot. So we need to find a good game server host, my favorite is End point Gaming. They have low prices, easy to use control panel, and great support. The support staff is helpful when you don't know how to do something or need help fixing a problem.

So after you get a game server host you like and they send you all the information about how to log into the game server control panel. You will want to start customizing your game server. Now most game server host do all the hard work for you, so you will just need to change a few files to make everything work the way you want it to. Theirs really only one file you will want to edit and that is the server.cfg. The server.cfg file contains all the settings for the game server, so we will be working on editing that file. You really only need a few basic command in this file to start with.

First you will want to give your game server a name, so you will use this command hostname "Game Server Name". Then you may want to put a password on the game server so only you and your friends that have the password can join. You will need to put this command in only if you want to put a password on your game server, sv_password "Game server Password". You will want to put in a Rcon password on the game server. This will make it possible to control the game server from anywhere, rcon_password "Rcon Password".

Next you might want to install a few game server mods for fun. If you go with a game server hosting company like End Point Gaming you will be able to install game server mods from the control panel. If you don't use a game server hosting company you will have to install them by hand and that takes some time.

Lastly you may want to add in a fast download service to download the game server map and any mods you install faster. Any web hosting service will do the job, my favorite is Techwebhosting. Once you have the fast download service you will need to put this command in the server.cfg file, sv_downloadurl "http://techwebhosting.com/Your_Files", that's it pretty simple.
