Setting up a private home-based game server


There are many gaming enthusiasts who look to host their own Counter-strike GO dedicated servers on the home PC. Sometimes, the desire may go unfulfilled just because they are not aware of how to do this. Actually, it is not that difficult to host a game server on the private PC. First of all, you need to create and activate a No-IP account, secondly, add a host to this account. Following this, you can choose any name to be put for the hostname. The name should be unique in the domain. You should especially look for domains that are reserved for No-IP customers only.


The host type selection is to be made next. The default DNS Host A should be just perfect. Your field for IP address should be automatically visible. When all the information is filled you can click the “Create Host” option. Next, you need to download the No-IP Dynamic Update Client. Following this, you need to check the router and firewall settings. They should not block access to your site. You can test it upfront and ensure things are working perfectly. If you find the website can be reached perfectly, you are all setup to host your desired game.

Remember, though, this arrangement is only perfect for a limited number of people. If you try to accommodate more people playing the game, you will certainly encounter issues. This is the sole reason that leads most people to rent a dedicated server to enjoy their favorite games without any glitches.
