How to make a gameserver with 2 domains?

[sShaDOhsS]

The title is really confusing, I know. Also, sorry if it is in the wrong forum.

I have made a byethost account for my server, but the diskspace is only 5 GB (something like that). And all files I want for my gameserver are already more that 6 GB. I can make another byethost account, but how do I have to configure things then?

Thanks,
Me.

"Byethost" what are they selling?

Also you could remove some of the standard maps, which you do not like to play

And btw. 5gb space for a VPS or dedicated server? :/

Removing standard maps … yep, that's a good one.

Oh, another problem: How am I going to install and start it with only MySQL, PHP, FTP and VistaPanel?

Well obviously I asked you because they do sell multiple products and I'm not sure which one you've brough.

Also which game server is it?

Just a free one, TF2.

Try deleting some of the files. Not all of them are nessacary, but could cause the maps to bug due to missing textures

I highly doubt they are going to let you run a game server on one of their freebie web hosting packages... Anyways they don't even allow SSH so how would you plan on starting and stopping your game server?

You're going to need a VPS or a Dedicated server to properly run a decent game server...

Yep, I already thought so.
What can I do with dot.tk's services?

[loopyman]

dot.tk just offers free .tk domains.

OK, I made one, what now? I work with Ubuntu Server, but may also go to normal Ubuntu … or my Mac.

You cannot host on web hosting, web hosting is for websites, hence the name.
I'm pretty sure you cannot do anything with a .tk domain since they do not give you control over the DNS (afaik), since it only works as a URL redirect or something along those lines, at least that's how it worked last time I checked.

Best bet would be to buy a .com or .net domain and setup a subdomain on the DNS with an A record to point to a VPS or Dedicated server or even your home IP if you have a spare server lying around with a 10mbps+ upstream connection.

So should I take something like bluehost.com's service? (And, can I then also make a WordPress blog and a TF2 Server, then?)

Let me tell you this point blank since you don't seem to understand.

YOU CANNOT RUN SRCDS ON A SHARED WEB HOSTING PLAN.

You need a dedicated server, or just rent one from a Game Server Company.
