Setting up an awsome server

[Blacksky]

Hi, I have been searching around for a proper ICBM warfare server, probably Voltz, but I can't find one I like, so I thought I'd set up my own.

I have some good web hosting but I'm not sure how helpful that will be or where to start with this. can anyone offer any suggestions? Unfortunately my internet connection just isn't good enough for me to host the server from home.

If you cant host the server with a good connection, try finding a company that will host it for you for $$$.

This.

Also, make sure your PC specs are up to shape. Depending on if you're using your own PC or another computer to host the server, it may be laggy for the players.

You may want to watch some tutorials and get some experience with setting up a 'dummy' server that you won't actually use. By making a server two times, you can ensure that you did it right and that you didn't do anything wrong the second time. You may also want to consider the version of Ampz that you're going to use. The Tekkit community has one version of Ampz, but the FTB community has another (because obviously sending out the same version of Ampz on your modpack as your competitor is far too sensible). There's no core number that'll show you which community is larger, so you can choose whatever you like. You've just posted this in the Tekkit forums, so you should probably use the tekkit version IMO.

There are sometimes eclipses where the two launchers have the same version of Ampz. Those are probably going to be good times to run your server, aswell.

Well I do have web hosting, but it's just plain website hosting. I take it that I need something I can run minecraft constantly on?

GammaCraft is a ICBM pvp server, it's running a modified version of Voltz: 'Radz'.
