A person who has spent a certain amount of time playing on a server may well want to create their own server. There are certain recommendations that allow you to start the server, as well as ensure the flow of players to it, regardless of the game to which it belongs.
Instructions
Step 1
The easiest way is to buy a ready-made server. In this case, you will need to contact any company that creates, hosts and maintains servers for the game you need. This service is usually paid. Choose a company that provides the number of options you need, as well as proper technical support in case you have no experience in server management.
Step 2
You can also create a server using your own computer. A clear disadvantage of this method is that the server is active only for the time during which your computer is turned on and connected to the network. In addition, a high-speed connection is required to ensure a normal playing environment for all logged in players. Create a server using the Create Dedicated Server icon or using the corresponding menu in the game itself, by switching to the "Play on the Internet" mode.
Step 3
To ensure the influx of players, it is necessary to popularize your server. This can be achieved by creating a site on free hosting. The site must contain the rules of the server, the composition of the administration, as well as a link to monitoring your server and a forum for in-game communication. This will allow players to communicate more with each other and track changes in the map and game mode on your server.
Step 4
Website promotion can be difficult, the simplest thing is to create a community on a social network with a link to your website. This simplifies the process of inviting players - you do not need to spam on other servers or post links to your website in the forums dedicated to the game. It is enough to invite users to a group dedicated to your server. However, keep in mind that in order to truly interest players, you will need specific features that are unique to your server. Think about this moment. It makes no sense to create stamping, you need to create a unique product that will interest you with its uniqueness.
