cod4 redirects on home pc

[dr_evil]

I'm currently running the extreme mod used as a sniper only server from my home pc. Does anyone know if its possible to get a redirect working from a website that could host the mod's ff, iwd file and also mod maps. As at the moment people whom try and join my server have to download the mod and maps at 12kb/sec i have a redirect cfg in the extreme mod, but i guess the question is can it redirect from a home pc setup. im running through a router and have a static ip.

specs im running are

3.4ghz quadcore
8gb ram
720 watt power supply
gtx285 video card

any help or assistance would be great cheers

Most ISPs have terms of service that prohibit running servers at home, and home upload speeds tend to be fairly poor, so I would recommend either getting our 2.99 "lite" website hosting here, or running it directly off of your VDS/dedicated machine. We provide so much bandwidth with our offerings that you shouldn't have a problem with running out, even with a redirect on the same box.

If you do want to run it at home, you'd need to forward port 80 to your machine and run a webserver (such as Apache) on it.

ok i got a email from siren they seemed not to know whether it can be done from my home pc and have a working redirect for the mod and mod maps, sounds like the lite plan is what i am after, just want someone to host the mod and maps for others connecting to me to get a fast download. you you run a trial for me to see how it gos, im very happy to continue if i can get it all working. otherwise i have to run standard maps and dont want to.

You could certainly try out the 2.99 for an option and see how it works for you. It should work very well, since we have hundreds of other renters that use the webhosting for exactly this .

For our managed VDSes/machines, you can use the "Websync" page in the control panel to perform the redirect setup for you. If you don't have a managed configuration, we have a guide on how to do it manually here: http://www.nfoservers.com/forums/viewto ... =20&t=3839

im not sure how to go about changing [the server.cfg] to make this work

The guide at http://www.nfoservers.com/forums/viewto ... =20&t=3839 tells you what to change in the server.cfg
