Server Hosting using No-IP?

(1/1)

Cep:
First off, I'd like to say hello to everyone, first post.

This goes out to the more experienced members, I'm inquiring on how it is possible to use a domain (say we register it through No-IP) and run multiple gameservers off of it as does the random servers. What host do you use, and what is the price range?

Thanks in advance!

ursus:
It's not multiple IP's, it's multiple ports. I think the range for the Source Dedicated Server is UDP ports 27015-27025. I don't know how these specific servers are run, though.

However, the simplest way to accomplish this is to run multiple dedicated servers on the same machine, using different ports to connect.

Cep:
Alright so, if we were running two servers off of the same machine:

Launch #1 with port 27015, then the IP would be whatever the domain is translated into an IP, then port 27015. (example.com:27015 -> 12.34.56.78:27015)
Then launching #2 with port 27016 would be 12.34.56.78:27016 ?

If that's correct then I'm good except,

Wouldn't it just be easier to not use a domain that directs you to the server, and just use the machine IP instead?

More or less.

The reason rNd uses a domain name is because, to my knowledge, the IP itself changes periodically.

Cep:
Alright then, thanks for the help!
