Hey Hamode,

I'm presuming you're new to the SA:MP server hosting world, but that's alright, we were all new to it at one time.

There's roughly three methods to hosting a SA:MP server.

• Host it at home - Requires leaving your computer on, and fiddling around with router settings, usually.
• Rent a VPS/Server from somewhere, costs money, requires basic knowledge of your chosen server operating system.
• Buy services from a SA:MP server host, prices vary, but they handle everything (apart from scripting) for you.

I recommend you have a go at hosting at home first; mess around with scripting a little, and decide if you actually want to run a server or not.

Here's a few links to get you started.

SA-MP Wiki: Windows Server
PortForward.com - Portforwarding advice.
Westie's Connection Checker - Helps you work out if your server is configured correctly.


Take care, and good luck
