For the nameplates: http://dev.bukkit.org/server-mods/hidenames/ Also, if you're familiar with WorldGuard it allows prevention of creeper block damage as well as the ability of endermen to move blocks without removing those mobs from the game completely.

ComputerCraft works the same way as the others, as far as I know

The server will crash if you go into any area with modded items if the mod has been removed. It simply doesn't know how to handle the items without the mod installed. A way to fix this could be to find a map editing tool that is compatible with tekkit and find all the items from that specific mod on the map and remove them.

Glad I was able to help

There are a couple ways to check. If you have Essentials as a plugin, you can do /invsee <name> to see the inventory of anyone online. There are also other plugins that provide the same functionality. Another option, much more complicated and not recommended, is to shut the server down, navigate to the players directory (.../world/players), backup the file of your name <name>.dat(otherwise you will lose your items and coordinates), and change the name of the suspected player's file to your name. When you log in, you will be located where they last logged out, with their inventory and alchemy bag configuration. Just be sure to put everything back or people will lose inventories. Sorry for the complicated instructions. Feel free to ask questions.

It's possible to prevent people from placing certain blocks with ModifyWorld, which comes with PEx. I've also heard good things about TekkitRestrict, but I can't personally vouch. You would want to block transposers, block breakers, and deployers(can be used to place the other two). If you need an example of how to block placement of an item with ModifyWorld I can provide one.

I guess we'll just wait for him to post something instead of sitting here guessing what he needs

If that doesn't work, click the link to go to their curse site. You can find older downloads there under "other downloads"

There is some very useful information there, but I believe the OP is asking how to go about setting up the server and configuration that needs to be done so that people can connect to it. I didn't find anything related to that in the link you posted.

There are a few things to take into account when deciding to implement PvP. I have heard numerous complaints of issues between Towny and Tekkit, so I would suggest you not go that route. The thing about Tekkit is that once someone finds one diamond, 4 redstone, and 4 glowstone they have access to almost anything in the game without doing a whole lot. Depending on how quickly players progress, things will become unbalanced rather quickly. There will be an elite group with control over a lot of the land, and smaller groups without enough power to challenge them. For this reason I tend to say no to PvP on Tekkit servers.

If there are two destinations that are the same distance away from the source, it will distribute them equally between the two. That's what you're asking, right?

So, what you're saying is that you want the server to stop loading chunks when there are no players nearby? I don't really know how that would be changed without editing the mods themselves. I can tell you why it's happening at least. Some blocks, such as quarries, force chunks to load around them. I can't say for sure, but I believe it helps prevent things that could cause larger issues. There are also blocks, such as world anchors and teleport tethers, that have a sole purpose of loading chunks. Some of your players could be using these as well.

Hushful, I'm sure the OP knows how to use a search engine. Why not give him something more helpful? shadowmigth, if you have any specific questions I most likely have some of the information you need. I have hosted servers from my home computer and been admin on hosted and hamachi servers. If you give me a bit more information as to what you hope to accomplish I can help you get started.
