All I need is someone who is willing to make a server for the Churchill Clan, in return you will be given an admin pass to that server (it will be powered by psyspades).
If you can help please tell me.
:)

There are two people in your clan, including yourself.

Your clan happens to have the same name as my longboard company. Kudos

^^ lol

OP, i am seriously considering hosting a server for my clan. Not pyspades though, and i still havent researched it seriously. I will use this thread to ask.

Do i need a VPS to host a aos server? Or if i have near 100% uptime with my computer and a good connection will i be able to host it locally. (My computers been running for around 5 years consecutively only being turned off on occasion or for reformats)

Thanks KC, specifically for not posting the 'let me google that for you' link. That would be hard to resist. You contribute alot around here.

I do try, as long as people aren't completely retarded in their post.

hurr hw do i chng my nam in da gam srry i dint read da wiki cuz dat iz 4 nerdz

This forum is making me cynical, however.

Futhermore, I'd have probably helped explain the whole port-forward process in an in-depth post, if I was a better wizard. I forwarded my ports correctly and can get my server listed on the server list, but nobody is able to play on it except me, for some reason. So I don't think I'd do anybody any justice explaining it. I must be cursed.

If your having troubles with the port forwarding process depending on what your server is for. In desperate times you could use hamachi. For example if you wanted a server to play with clan members and they dont mind installing hamachi then that would work. I will try to get a server up soon and see how it goes. Im REALLY interested in the minecraft to AOS map forwarder.

I know how to make a server but unfortunately my location is very far away from most AOS players which would cause them to immediately start topics about its connection(that happened to me on another game).
I can send the volunteer a full config file for them with name,map and pass(the person I send it is free to look at it).

Winston, your best bet is to buy a VPS. You can rack one with way more then enough power for an AOS server for about 5 bucks with 100% uptime and perfect connections to everyone. Thats your best bet.

With regard to VPS servers, take a look at the bandwidth allowance.

A full 32 player server would use something like 1-1.25TB of bandwidth a month if entirely occupied all month. Also check their connectivity as I understand that the server can peak at a couple of sustained mbps.

http://www.lowendbox.com usually has a load of offers for VPS servers.

And and in regard to the OP, I think its a bit cheeky to offer as a reward administration rights on a server they've created and run! :-) Dont you think if they wanted to they could just create their own? :)

OP reminds me of the people who go onto art boards and their first post is "Hey if you could do me a favor and spend a ton of your time to sketch me out a tattoo for free that would be super cool, in return tits"
