Hey i got this Error while i was editing my servers (in my Group): The server IP "com-technics.de" is not valid.
Why you can't use dynamic ip's or dns suffix for servers?
just that "normal" ip v.4 blocks are not so good, what is if someone has saerver with changing ip?
(localhosts for example)
and i already have a ip v.6 adress and why we dont use them too?

ipv6 later.

Dynamic IPs are not supported, only static IPs we are not resolving DNS names for server in the profile, for a network of UrTs side the DNS query data would be just extra load we don't wish to deal with :D

This is kind of old but I have to make this clear:
I'm trying very hard to host a server for urban terror with no result.
(I am a noob as far as servers are concerned)
So please tell me, can I host a server if I have a dynamic ip (using dyndns for example)?Or am I just busting my head for nothing?
I've lost my sleep over this...

So what you're saying nitro is that I can't do it without giving my money to rent someone else's server if I have a dynamic ip.Is that right?

Dynamic IPs are no problem, you just can't register the server to your clan on this website.

Attualy, Servers with changing IPs are a problem.

Firstly they are only ever hosted on "as a general rule" on Home Unreliable Connectsions.

Secondly the above reasoning, means that the connection is dropped and then re-established and has to release new ip via DHCP (most likely).

Thirdly since the UrT Server will only ever "look for its operating IP" at startup, can make it not function on a IP renewal and require a restart or worse is being routed using NAT or some other nasty "Home Router" Routing proticol that will add to the general feel of a poor connection.

It is STRONGLYT recommended to run a UrT Server either on a dedicated server or purchase one from a hosting company. We don;t support this. Sorry.

Also ... the reason we dont use DNS Resolvers in the website is we would need to do a DNS Query (all be it cached) for each DNS added name every page load (again we can cache), but simply put something that is just really not required by us at all.

SOrry, but thats the end of it :)

Thanks you so much Raider.
I was trying so hard to do this.
At least now I KNOW that I can't!
I'll play on someone else's server for now.
Thanks again!

I hope it's OK to dig up a slightly old topic here if it pertains.
I'm going to run my server on my home DSL connection. Yes, it's a crappy dynamic-IP thing but it should still be enough. My Minecraft server works fine so I don't see why this shouldn't...
Anyway, I'm using dyndns as a dynamic ip provider.

Is it correct to think that I could use the command "/connect shovenose.dyndns.org:27960" and it would function properly?
I've got Dyndns Updater functioning properly, meaning that if my IP changes then it will update and the command will still work?
Should I expect a whole bunch of lag? or no?
thanks!

Good god people, how many times do i need to say this before you stop doing it.

Home hosted servers are never going to up to a good enough standard. I'm sorry, but i said 3 times this isn't supported. It's not a good idea and you should NOT be doing this. Your persistence is most frustrating!
