Need a clan server?
#5
You don't need Linux, but the VPS runs CentOS Linux so you need to know the commands used in Linux. You connect to the CentOS server on Windows through a program called PuTTY. However, the only GUI part of it is entering the connection information of the VPS. Once you connect, you're given a command prompt and a login screen. Upon logging in, you'll then need to know your way around the Linux terminal in order to navigate through files and other things.

I considered how I wanted to do this server offering, and did consider setting up servers for other people. The reason I had to rule that idea out is because if they don't know enough to set it up themselves, they wouldn't know enough to maintain it themselves and make any changes they feel necessary. Then the responsibility would be on me to make all their changes for them, which is highly inconvenient for them and a burden for me.

This is probably ideal for Linux AC players, because they're already familiar with basic commands, and as in my case when I started administering the BC servers through SSH, Google helps with the rest.

One idea I had in my head is a web-based server administration script, but I think it would be a lot of work and I can't code. It would allow the game server owner to stop and start their server, modify configuration files, and so on.
