Server Hosting - How will my server be hosted?

[WhatFT]

1. What will be the requirements for choosing a hosting company in other countries?

2. Will I give my RO FILES to the hosting so they can setup it?

3. How will they give me my RO FILES if I give it back to them?

4. They will make the installer or I will make it?

5. What do they provide/add in my RO FILES?

I really don't have an Idea about it..

If I'm in a wrong section, please correct me.. THANKS !

1. Best is Los Angeles, CA. But it depende on you on what you want to host on.

2. Yes, If you have custom SVN files. Then you must ZIP it and then send it to the hoster. But if you dont have, they have a default SVN files to choose from, and it is up to you if you customize it.

3. You can have it if you have access already. Using FTP or WinSCP, you can get your own SVN to their host if you already purchase and hosting to them and want to transfer to other hosting company.

4. You will make it on your own. But some hosting company offers basic client and patcher and comes to a price.

5. Only hosting 24/7 and MySQL hosting for your database.

2. Really depends on the host most don't set up your source for you unless you go with one of the few ones which offer that type of option like the servers which provide free compiling. Normally the SVN files are set up by yourself your host just makes sure to set up the things like mysql and making sure which ever programs you need are installed.

Thanks Guys ! How about when I wanted to change my item_db to my SQL Database?

[isaw4sal3]

hey guys, what about changing the hosting? my current host is not good enough, can switch to new one?

[Fuyuko]

@Paulinds You run the item_db.sql found in the sql-files folder to make the database or if you've modified yours you could use a txt to mysql converter.

@isaw4sal3 You can you would have to work that out between the old hosting and the new hosting usually they will transfer your files for you to the new host.
