====== How to Host a Game ======

On the QEng platform, you can host a game in two ways: on your own custom subdomain, or as a one-off game on a shared subdomain.

===== Choosing a Hosting Option =====

==== 1. One-off Game without Subdomain Registration ====
If you only need to host one or a few games, you don't need to create a dedicated subdomain.
  * The game can be hosted on the shared subdomain **[[https://my.qeng.org/|my.qeng.org]]**.
  * This is the easiest and fastest way to start for new authors.

==== 2. Custom Subdomain ====
For regular games (e.g. for a local club or city community), it is recommended to register a dedicated subdomain (e.g. ''yourname.qeng.org'').
  * On a custom subdomain, you can set up a unique theme, menu, and payment system.
  * For subdomain creation questions, contact the administrator on Telegram: **[[https://t.me/OlehKuznetsov|OlehKuznetsov]]**.

===== Financial Terms =====

  * **Subdomain creation** — free.
  * **Hosting fee** for one game is equal to the entry fee of **one team** for that game (capped at **$20**). Specifically:
    * If the entry fee is $5/team, the hosting fee is $5.
    * If the entry fee is $25/team, the hosting fee is capped at $20.
    * If the game is free to play, the hosting fee is completely **free**.
  * **Corporate (private) games** — the hosting fee is flat **$20** per game.

===== How to Get Author Permissions =====
Registered users cannot create games immediately to prevent spam.
  - Register on the subdomain site.
  - Contact the subdomain administrator (contacts are usually at the bottom of the page or directly via Telegram).
  - Provide your username on the site.
  - The admin will create a game and grant you editing permissions. The game will appear in your author dashboard.
