<h2> Hosting through ENT Link (website) </h2>
<h2> Hosting through the website: </h2>
You can now host directly from the website and then join the hosted game through ENT Connect, Garena, or Battle.net. The website also has the advantage of allowing you to select the location to host a game in. You'll need to register an account first, though.
 
Hosting through the website has the advantage of allowing you to select the location of the bot, which will affect your ping depending on where you are playing from.
To host through the website you will first need to [https://entgaming.net/forum/ucp.php?mode=register register an account:]
 
The first method (recommended) is to use the new 'Host a Game' tab [https://host.entgaming.net/#host here:]
#Enter the username that you will join with.
#Search for the map you want to host with, and select it by clicking on the correct map/version. There is an 'upload map' button here if the map you want is not in the database.
#Select the server location you want: note you can use [https://entgaming.net/status.php this page] to check if the location you want is currently free.
#Press host. An automatic gamename will be generated for you to join: you can change this ingame with !pub (name).


# First, go to [http://entgaming.net/link/host.php Host A Game]. You'll have to add some maps to your personal list. To do this, click the [http://entgaming.net/link/host_add.php list of added maps] link.
'''Tip:''' You can see when your game is hosted on the ENT [http://entgaming.net/forum/games.php games] page.
# Once you have added the map, go back to the ''Host A Game'' page, enter the username that you will join the game with (in case your Battle.net and forum usernames are different), select a map and location, and press ''Host''. Check the games list and wait until your game is hosted and then join the game.
