  1. Important preliminary info:
  2.  
  3. * TF2 starts on Friday and Saturday at 7:30 PM EST (11:30 AM GMT)
  4. * Variety night starts on Sunday at 8:00 PM EST (12:00 AM GMT)
  5. * Contact the main TF2 host if you're interested in hosting something
  6. - The current host is hapless: https://steamcommunity.com/id/hapless-flounder/
  7.  
  8. What do I need to host?
  9.  
  10. * A VPS or a dedicated server
  11. * A fastDL server if custom content is being used
  12. * Basic knowledge of server management (port forwarding, installing dependencies, etc.)
  13.  
  14. A decent VPS (virtual private server) is like $10 USD, which is much cheaper than
  15. renting dedicated servers. Check out Kimsufi, OVH, or NFOservers for cheap yet proven
  16. options. Prioritize bandwidth over all else. Hosting from home is generally a bad idea,
  17. especially if you want to host regularly. Even if you pay for "gigabit fiber", everyone
  18. who joins your server will lag and your connection will start to shit itself with over
  19. 24 players. If you want to host regularly, look into a VPS or a dedicated server.
  20.  
  21. What should I host?
  22.  
  23. Mandatory requirements:
  24. > Supports 32 or more players
  25. > Easy to install
  26. > Free to play (Sven Co-op)
  27. > Easy to pirate (Unreal Tournament 2004)
  28. > Everyone already has the game (L4D2, Garry's Mod, most Valve games)
  29.  
  30. Recommended:
  31. > Don't choose games that require an account other than Steam, such as Trackmania
  32. > Voice chat is a bonus
  33. > Game should be easy to get into for a new player
  34.  
  35. In general, most Source games/Source mods fit this criteria.
  36.  
  37. How should I host?
  38.  
  39. * Test, test, test. Spend time setting up the server. Don't do it the day of the event.
  40. * Put a password on the server if possible. It should be the usual.
  41. * Be a good admin. Don't be overbearing, and try not to abuse your admin powers too much,
  42. but don't be someone who does literally nothing when shit's on fire.
  43.
