You need to have a VPS with sufficient RAM, You can either get a vps from a ragnarok hosting (not suggestable because the price is very high/incomplete access) or get a cheap VPS from trusted VPS providers (OVH,Digital Ocean,Vultr) and learn how to install rA in the VPS. there are several guides in the wiki and forum.Installation Guides From Wiki / Vultr VPS Provider Guide on Ubuntu / Youtube Guide There are also 3rd party services for VPS Installation/Server SetupThird Party Services 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Welcome to the linux OS.. xD. Mostly vps are running on linux OS. But i think there is one vps, offering windows OS. I'm pretty sure u done the customization in the test server on ur desktop / laptop which running on windows OS. https://www.vps.ag/windows But the price of windows OS vps are higher compare to linux OS vps. Ovh basic vps plan just 3.5 USD per month. For long term. U can save a lot. But, it just u need to learn how to running server on linux OS. Once u get use of it. I think it should not be a problem anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well... in your point of view is it hard to move from windows to linux? I've been using windows ever since Have never used any other OS except for iOS lol.

Thank you nothing is easy for the first time. u just a lot of patience & determination.. i think the basic plan can support up to 100 players. it should be no problem i think. but, in case the vps no longer can support, u can just upgrade the vps at anytime.

Thanks erm.. all linux distro has GUI (Desktop version) & non GUI (Server version). but if u gonna rent a vps, it will always be ubuntu server or centos server.. it is just rarely for the vps to put desktop version for linux. to compile it? by using terminal. just execute ./configure && make clean server Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
