There are several ways to go about hosting a server. One can do it from in game from the Host Game menu, or using a CMD line to launch it like so:

hx.exe server 01_NYC_UNATCOIsland?Mutator=(mutatorname)

Which will give access to a built in Unreal commandline for putting in console commands and such. If limited to a command window only, one can also use HCC (a derivative of Unreal's UCC) to host a server, like so:

hcc.exe server 01_NYC_UNATCOIsland?Mutator=(mutatorname)

 You still need to make sure your firewall settings, router settings and ISP allow other people to reach your server over the internet. See [[Ports]] for details.
