Choose reliable hardware, install the game server software, and configure port forwarding on your router. Set a static IP address and adjust firewall settings. Optimize server performance with proper CPU, RAM, and network settings. Regularly update the software and monitor server activity for security and smooth gameplay.

Depends on the game, but here’s the general idea:

1. Pick the game and check if it supports dedicated servers.
2. Get a good PC or rent a VPS — needs solid internet and decent specs.
3. Download the server files from the game’s website or SteamCMD.
4. Configure the settings (like map, player limit, rules, etc).
5. Open ports on your router so others can join.
6. Launch it, test it, and share your IP with friends.

Some games also let you install mods or use control panels to make it easier.
