Yeah

the connection keeps timing out 

What IP and port are you using?

Are you connecting through your browser? It's a Scratch Project. Please go through the instructions....

nobody have been on, i think, so i couldn't check much :S

You were on while I was asleep.    I saw you connect and post a few messages.

But sending a message in general means that it works. Cause it only displays if you are connected to the server.

Tbtemplex97: What people normally do, is get a dedicated server ( or VPS , Virtual Private Server ) and SSH to it and type in commands through a console.

Flashgocrazy: No you can't, because webhosts are for websites, they can't really host applications. Most applications on websites ( like addicting games ) are on the client's browser. Webhosts don't have any open ports ( except for things like 22 and 21 FTP and possibly 23 Telnet, and if they provide it, whatever server email uses ).

Please realize that webhosts are for websites, not for anything else. If you want to host a server like what I am doing, you either have to use your own computer, or find a server. And servers are just text and terminals/consoles. Everything that happens on a server or computer is really just text ( or if you are really technical, binary ), all you are seeing on your screen is the computer telling the screen to display dots here and there. Since there isn't a screen for a server, you have to make one for yourself, and to communicate to the server, you use the terminal with SSH or another program.

MMOs only have text for the server. That's all it does.

can you tell me how you set up the server for scratch.playfultest.tk?

All I did was redirect the domain to my IP using an A type redirect.

As in, the IP you can see here?

Then the mirror connects to my server and Scratch and then you can talk.

like, lets say I want to redirect to my ip:
____------------------------------
redirect
[http://www.theworldzord.tk]
to:
[http://myiphere]
--------------------------------
Do i have to put the location of the server like:
ipname/users/user/desktop/server.py
or just put the ip?
In other words Do I have to also type where the server is located on my computer?

There is a specific way to "redirect" it.

Have you even port-forwarded?

What program and what port?
Can't you just write a tut how to do this?
