I'd appreciate some advice regarding unmanaged VPSs. I've been running a small game (Minecraft) server on my home connection for a few weeks now and would like to move to a VPS due to bandwidth constraints. VPSNOC's Gold plan seems just what I need. I tried to sign up today but was stymied by some options. Ordering asks for a hostname (no big) and NS1 and NS2 -- namesevrers, I think, which I know nothing about. I am under the impression that I need to have a domain to utilize this server. I suppose I could get one through GoDaddy if needed, but would like to avoid that. The server is only for some friends (~10) and I. Can we just use the server IP for navigation? We'll only need this for the game, a mumble server, and perhaps a light http server to host game world maps. Alternatively, could I simply point a DynDNS to the server IP and save some cash? I thought I had enough skill to handle an unmanaged VPS but am a bit scared now. I don't doubt that I'll be able to configure the server once I get to the console, but I'd like to know what the experience is up to that point. How much fooling around with domains will I need to do to make it accessible (if not pretty)?
