Thread: [How-To] Use your domain name as your realm list

I didn't see a guide anywhere on how to do this and it is quite simple so here you go

1) Buy a domain name - I recommend Name or Yahoo

2) Buy web hosting - I recommend Dual rack or HostMID

3) You now need to point your domain to your hosting name servers, You can find out
what your servers name servers are by checking the welcome e-mail or searching google.

4) Go into your hosting cpanel (usually yourdomain.com/cpanel) and click on "sub-domains"

5) Enter "logon" in the sub domain field, and the Document root field will auto fill. Click create

6) Now click on "manage redirection" , Leave that tab open and go to whatismyip.com ,
Copy your IP and paste it into the redirection field and click save.

7) Go to your hosts file (usually C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc/hosts) and open it with notepad, Add the line of text below - (Change the text according to what your domain name and sub domain name is)
127.0.0.1 logon.yourserverdomain.com - Save and close the file.

8) You now need to change your realms.conf file (Arcemu) or realmlist table (MaNGOS)

Arcemu:
Open "realms.conf" Find the text below, and make yours look similar but using YOUR info.

<Realm1 Name = "YOUR SERVER NAME"
Address = "logon.YOURDOMAIN.com:8129"
Icon = "PVP"
colour="1"
Population = "1.0"
TimeZone = "26">

MaNGOS:
Open your favourite database editing program (SQLyog,Navicat) ,
Go in your auth database and find the "realmlist" table - edit the address table to "logon.YOURSITE.COM"

9) CONCLUSION: You have now successfully configured your own custom realmlist!
