The main port for MySQL Servers is 3306, and you may need to do some port forwarding on your router settings and if you are doing the web control panel on your server I would use the Microsoft Access Database and if I was you do not host game servers from your home connection. as if you everything you do effects your servers and if restart your router you will keep getting new a ip and Colocation is better if ur a newbie at GSP's and all you need to provide is your own hardware and you can get access to their game install ftp account so you can get the game files easy and you can have more then 1 ip address

Thanks Tazz i know that its just ill be moving to a data centre later when i get everyting sorted out .. Thought it would be better to get to know my way around this software first . I understand that TCAdmin gives better control not only for billing but in what the client can do with their server

and for client online setups , I can do server setup from making folders and running them , but i was looking a bit more and came to TCAdmin for trial.

Got passed that by doing setup by Access now all i have to do is figure out how i login to make servers lol long gone are the days of 8008 processor

8mhz things were simple then , lol

kk, if you want to colocate it i will recommend you using RapidSwitch. Price Starting from £34 a month and is very good, Same Day Setup and Free IP Addresses and if i was you Turn on your Remote Desktop or install realvnc before you get it colocated

Yes ill have to wait, ECF was right problems with running it @ home ,

On login all i got was to login to my rooter, But from what i seen of TCAdmin its the way to go ..

Personally I do not understand why people try to run game servers or dedicated servers from home. All of them have issues with routers or ISPs blocking ports and it makes it impossible to troubleshoot. Especially since most of them have no idea how to open up the ports on their router.

This is why we don't support it

 

Trust me, we have had many people try it, and none of them had much success testing it on a home line.
