Hello, some friends and I recently rented a Left 4 Dead 2 server from NFO, its been great so far, no problems with the game server itself, but Im afraid I have no clue how to set up the free domain that comes with our server, we basically just want to use it to host the server banner that pops up with the message of the day when joining our game server.
This is the code I believe we need for our site:
<html>
<head><title>SERVERTITTLEHERE</title></head>
<body style=”margin:0px;padding:1px;background:#000000;”>
<img src=”OURIMAGEURLHERE” style=”width:100%;height:100%;” />
</body>
</html>
I have no clue what to do with that code though.
Im sorry if this is the wrong place to ask but I dont have any experience with setting up websites, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Re: Need help setting up domain
The domain itself should be pretty much setup for you. Just to clarify, are you wanting to add only a host image, MOTD or both?

Just a host image to go in to the server's host.txt file.
Re: Need help setting up domain
All you need to do is open up notepad and paste your text above in there. Then save it as myhost.html.
Then connect to your websites FTP by using the information on the "File manager" tab. We have a guide on how to use FTP here if needed.

Once connected double click on "public" and upload your file. Now navigate to the location of the file using your domain. This would be XXX.site.nfoservers.com/myhost.html. That would be the link you would paste inside of your host.txt file for your server.
