Buying a Hosting Service and Setting it up....??????

[BayBay]

Well i know buying a service hosting service for month or days is not that hard if you have the $$, what i dont know "Exactly" is how to set up the server and everything ,i been searching the entire forum but i havent seen any topic about it. I tried the search function but nothing.

I know this is a bit complicated for you guys to explain to me.

but is there a simple explanation on how hosting services works? the basics ?

All i know service hosting is that they help you have your game online and running right ?

I cant host a server from my pc cuze its actually a "piece of crap" and my internet is crap as well.

 

 

 

Things that bother me:

1.Does my Pc has to be ON all the time so the server up and running ?

2.What happens if i started it like remotely from my pc to the server

what happens if i turn my pc off ? will the server that is hosting it will go offline due to the fact that im managing it from my pc ?

 

Im a bit confused atm, sorry for my lack of knowledge im new on this. I want to learn but i just have no clue where to start on. I know first i have to fix all the bugs, maps,crashing and every errors i get.

 

Atm i manage to log in my server using navichat + xampp , i guess the harder stuff is setting it and making the billing server and soo on.

 

Thanks for reading this post.
