    TechieDaddy got a reaction from Maevrim in DYNDNS or No-IP   
    So I've been digging around on this one and I may have found a solution... posting here just as an FYI for others:
    NO-IP.com does allow for you to manually set an IP address; you wont need the client running on the server as IPs assigned from SS seem to be static.  This method would allow you to enter in a server via the Steam server console as "conan.ddns.com:38216" and that would connect the gamer to your server.  <-- Easy and Free way If you already own a domain/hosting you can add an a-record to your hosted DNS that will point "conan.yourdomainname.com" to your SS assigned IP address, allowing the gamer to enter via the Steam server console "conan.yourdomainname.com:38216" and that would connect the gamer to your server.  <-- This is the route I'm going as it's a little cleaner and professional than using a free domain such as ddns.com Using a domain as opposed to an IP is  much easier in terms of remembering, sharing, linking your server and most importantly should you ever need to migrate from one VHOST or Provider to another, all you'd have to do is update the NO-IP or DNS record to the new IP address and all of your gamers are none the wiser of the change.  Completely transparent to them and best of all, no loss in gamer population due to them not knowing what your new IP is.
     
    Hope this is helpful to someone.

    Reference the technical guide here: http://www.gamingalliance.com.au/ConanExiles_TechManual.pdf
     
    There are server options in that guide that are not available via the server admin console here.  Why is that?  Also the majority of the settings in the console are missing their descriptions and their acceptable options (i.e. server community requires the correct option for RP PVP BLITZ ETC).  How are we supposed to know what these are if they are not listed in the console?
