	Rent a server at a host where you think it will be the best place to host. For most games I rented a server at Multiplay or Verygames. In my opionion they are reliable and have good support.

	Go to the FTP files and find the folder: Saves. Open this folder and find the folder which contains your world. In the case I displayed above it would be called: TEST. Find the FTP URL to this map. Usually through properties. Otherwise open the: RecentWorlds file with notepad and look for the last saved world named TEST (or the name you gave your world) and copy the link it gives you. Which will probably look a bit like this: <pre>c:\games\183_219_32_169_56015\1144769\medievalengi\Saves\TEST</pre>		Go to the FTP files and find the folder: Saves.
