Death Before Dishonor! :: Server Setup Guide

The Basics | Hosting | Administration Tools | Getting Traffic | Funding Your Server | Tips and Tricks

     Here are some further tips and tricks that will help your clan become popular:

- Provide a VoIP server for your clan mates and regulars.  This helps them to get to know you, and may lead to a more enjoyable gaming experience.  I recommend TeamSpeak, because it's free for non-commercial use (with no limits, except for a max slot count of 1000 across 10 servers), and offers a much higher level of customization than the free version of Ventrilo

- Start a forum for your clan.  This is another way for everyone to get to know each other.  I recommend phpBB.

- Provide server watching scripts on your site, like the ones on our servers page.  The game server monitor is from GameTracker, and the TeamSpeak monitor is from TSViewer.  People like information - plus it's just damn cool. ;)
